The systems desk follows the complete path from board and memory to runtime and useful output. The focus is the gap between a working demo and a setup a reader can reproduce.
Could someone else reproduce this from a clean setup?
Coverage background
Coverage spans embedded Linux, small-system integration, and repeatable test design. Setup notes, software compatibility, and explicit assumptions take priority over a single headline number.
How this desk approaches a review
Start with the exact model and software versions. Follow the complete path to a useful output. Keep the assumptions beside the result, where a reader can see them.
A good setup note should still make sense after the person who wrote it has left the room.
