The full story
A Hacker News commenter described using Claude to port Linux to an obsolete, unsupported board whose maker only ever published binary Android images. Those images turned out to hold enough clues. It inspired them to imagine a full AI-driven reverse-engineering bench where the agent can reach the board's serial console, GPIO and buses, its power and reset switches, and swappable SD cards, so it could build and test images on its own.
