RVAsec
RVAsec provided the 2022 conference context.
SourceWhy It Mattered
It marks RVAsec's post-pandemic public firmware return with a modernized build system and a simulator path for badge app development, while keeping unrecovered hardware manufacturing and image rights separate.
Hardware
The RVAsec 2022 badge supports Raspberry Pi Pico-style UF2 flashing, LCD display, a three-color LED, D-pad, IR Tx/Rx, rotary encoder, a badge hardware target, and a simulator target, per the README and repository tree. Audio output and audio/jack input are explicitly marked not implemented in the README status table.
Software & Apps
CMake builds with ARM embedded GCC support simulator builds, off-target tests, Doxygen documentation, app templates, a serial CLI path, display buffers, core screensavers, and badge apps including Badge Monsters, Maze, Lunar Lander, Smashout, Spacetripper, Slot Machine, Cube, Game of Life, and Hacking Simulator, per the repository.
Lore
The public tree is a HackRVA-maintained firmware archive for RVAsec Badge 2022. No repository license or complete physical-badge photo provenance was recovered, so the record stays image-free and license-caveated.

Issues & Camp Impact
missing rights-cleared image
note
No 2022 RVAsec badge image is published because no specific physical photo or full official render with reusable license or permission basis, attribution, source URL, and processing notes was recovered.
The record remains image-free.

repository-license caveat
note
The public badge2022 repository exposes firmware and documentation but no visible top-level repository license in GitHub metadata during this pass.
The source is used as evidence, but repository images or documentation media are not republished as catalogue images.
