The RVAsec 2012 badge is documented by HackRVA's public `rvasec-badge-2012` repository, which preserves Eagle board and schematic files, Gerbers, graphics, component datasheets, and release firmware for a badge built around an MSP430-class controller and Nokia 5110 / PCD8544 LCD behavior.
Lifecycle
The release firmware maps four P2 inputs to up/down/left/right behavior, text entry, logo selection strings, an elite LED state, and a Konami-style `99 LIVES!` path.
The release firmware includes PCD8544/Nokia LCD initialization, cursor movement, character printing, contrast, and image drawing paths.
The repository preserves Eagle board/schematic files, generated Gerbers, LCD and RJ45 component documentation, and graphics assets for the historical badge archive.
Operational history
The record remains image-free rather than copying repository graphics or generating a replacement.
The United States record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
The record links to the public archive while avoiding reuse claims beyond the visible source evidence.
The record keeps component and behavior claims tied to the recovered firmware, Eagle files, Gerbers, and event archive.
