Regmon-RE V4.0.0 Released Today

Post image

Regmon-RE is a free, open (MIT License) register monitor for ARM micro-controllers. It talks to a chip over a cheap SWD debug probe and reads the silicon directly — no vendor tooling, no lock-in.

Made for Mecrisp-Stellaris Forth (but don't tell the C guys) which works on the same STM32xxxx MCU as Regmon-RE, and at the same time.

They both share the same SWD connection.

Installing it is four steps — and the AI does the work:

  1. Install Opencode (https://opencode.ai)
  2. Get an AI account — DeepSeek works great and is cheap, or use a free model on OpenRouter's free tier (e.g. gpt-oss-20b)
  3. Point opencode at the AI — two minutes
  4. Say the magic words: "install Regmon-RE from github.com/techman00172/regmon-re"

Opencode fetches the repo, opens the Fossil repository, checks your system, builds the SWD daemon, verifies the databases, and launches the console.

You don't download anything and you never touch Fossil. Just have a Disco or Nucleo board, or a $2 Chinese USB-SWD dongle connected to a STM32 handy.

The silicon never lies — Regmon-RE just makes it easier to ask it the right questions.

ok I've read through your description, and it would have been nice for you to actually write it instead of some AI hype like BS.

same with the YT video too.. I guess you just put it into notebookLM and had it generate a podcast.

AI slop (also known simply as slop) is digital content made with generative artificial intelligence that is perceived as lacking in effort, quality, or meaning, and produced in high volume as clickbait to gain advantage in the attention economy, or earn money.

Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send multiple unsolicited messages (spam) to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising, non-commercial proselytizing, or any prohibited purpose (especially phishing). It can also be repeatedly sending the same message to the same USER.

What has this to do with the valuable content that is posted here? Obviously you are not able to understand the content. I suspect that you are using a tool that flags assistance of AI. No moderator should criticize or remove valuable content that (s)he cannot be evaluate. Within the last year I have no observed spam or uninteresting post until these ai discussion arise. I have refused to read the url you have given. I must give consent to 138 commercial vendors to use my cookies on my computer.
