Support my open source engineering work

Hi! I'm Kopano, an embedded systems and process control engineer building open-source infrastructure for modern cyber-physical systems.

My work focuses on projects that bridge software and hardware, including:

  • FPGA IP cores
  • STM32 peripheral drivers
  • Renode + Verilator integration
  • Hardware-in-the-loop and digital twin tooling
  • PCB and hardware verification
  • Industrial automation software
  • Reusable engineering libraries

Rather than creating one-off projects, my goal is to build reusable engineering components that other developers, researchers, students, and companies can confidently build upon.

Every repository is developed with an emphasis on:

  • clean architecture
  • thorough documentation
  • simulation-first verification
  • long-term maintainability
  • real industrial applications

Your sponsorship directly helps fund:

  • development time
  • hardware for testing and validation
  • FPGA development boards
  • measurement equipment
  • documentation
  • tutorials
  • continuous maintenance of existing projects

If my work has helped you, your team, or your company, consider becoming a sponsor. Every contribution, large or small, helps keep these projects open and actively maintained.

Thank you for supporting open engineering.

@sincerelystepper

Reaching 10 sponsors will help me dedicate consistent time to building and maintaining open-source FPGA IP, STM32 drivers, digital twin tooling, and hardware verification infrastructure. It will also help fund development hardware, testing equipment, and documentation that benefits the entire engineering community.
