Making Magic Leap past Nvidia's secure bootchain and breaking Tesla Autopilots

Huh, I thought Magic Leap went out of business.

Didn't know they were still around!

GenericDev•16h ago
Unfortunately they are. They're a former shell of what they were. I think they're changing their focus to lenses or something. Last I heard they're partnering with Google and it's absolute ass. The company is effectively dead and being carved out for parts by Google is my take.

It's a real bummer because they were the only company I was actually interested in seeing pursue Augmented Reality. Now it's literally the most evil companies Meta, Google, and Apple.

The 90s optimism of future tech is dead and all that's left is whatever this is.

Analemma_•15h ago
Your sympathy is severely misplaced. Magic Leap was Theranos-sized fraud from the beginning: they never had the goods, put out a whole bunch of misleading hype to persuade consumers and gullible investors that they had the goods [0], and eventually it caught up to them. Good riddance.

goldenarm•6h ago
I agree they hyped the product too much, but contrary to Theranos, they did ship two products that actually moved AR tech forward. They just weren't efficient enough and the product market fit wasn't there. Even Apple is failing at AR.

I hope Nvidia's new offerings (Orin, Thor, etc) don't have the same issue in their bootROM. That would be an incredibly expensive mistake.
userbinator•14h ago
I hope they do, for those who want actual ownership of what they bought.

Yeah, I'm sure it sucks for the OEM but my Nintendo Switch would be abandonware if not for Hekate bootloader.
amelius•15h ago
Just curious, how fast can these embedded systems boot?
saidinesh5•12h ago
It really depends on the application.

With the similar/even weaker socs (imx6 etc..), in the automotive domain, we used to target sub 5 second latency.. we had to get rid of things like even init and directly start the application..

Eg: 1.5 seconds here: https://youtu.be/QbEYhQIjlQc

There's a popular slide deck[1] with common techniques for paring it back too.

> The Tegra X2 is an SoC used in devices such as the Magic Leap One, and Tesla's Autopilot 2 & 2.5 promising a secure bootchain.

I guess they didn’t learn from the Tegra X1 which was famously responsible for the boot rom exploit on the original model of the Nintendo Switch.

Here’s the video of the talk. Not sure why the schedule page was linked.
