Issue dossier
The README describes an Arduino firmware directory and an initial AVR bootloader path, while the reviewed repository exposes no explicit root license, release/tag, final binary, version-to-board mapping, build/dependency lock, verified programmer/fuse package, update/recovery image, security review, vulnerability policy, support channel, warranty, or cleared badge artwork/photo. The board-art area is not treated as image-reuse permission.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.

The catalogue can link the source project without turning development instructions into a recommendation to program hardware, treating visible files as a final/reproducible deployment, claiming legal reuse, or publishing a repository visual without complete image provenance.

Related Resources
public firmware source tree
Public Arduino firmware directory referenced by the README. It supports a source-availability record, not a tagged/released final firmware image, evaluated build, source-to-badge mapping, recovery process, security review, support guarantee, or license grant.
Badge: DC-34 Countdown to Singularity Badge
public hardware design tree
Public native KiCad board directory supporting a real hardware-design trail. It is recorded as a source project, not proof of a final manufacture-ready revision, component procurement, assembly outcome, electrical characterization, compliance, or physical DEF CON unit.
Badge: DC-34 Countdown to Singularity Badge
public independent DEF CON badge-project repository
Public GitHub repository whose README calls it KiCad 6 design files for a DC-34 Countdown-To-Singularity DEF CON badge. The root exposes board, firmware, board-art, library, and BOM areas. It establishes a source-backed planned independent project, not an official DEF CON issue, production run, seller, price, allocation, delivery, final-unit state, or image-reuse grant.

public project and BOM documentation
Primary public source for the project title, seven-segment/real-time-clock/button interaction description, KiCad and Arduino tree references, AVRs/SAO/power/display BOM surface, and bootloader/programming context. It does not establish final component selection, manufacture, safety, completed distribution, or a reusable-image right.

Source trail
Evidence Sources
GitHub / eggsactly · retrieved 2026-05-15
Primary public source confirming a separate firmware directory for the named project. It does not establish a tagged release, final binary, reproducible build, toolchain/dependency lock, deployed event revision, update/recovery path, security review, support, or explicit license.
Badge: DC-34 Countdown to Singularity Badge
GitHub / eggsactly · retrieved 2026-05-15
Primary public source confirming native project board files for the named badge design. It does not establish a reviewed schematic/BOM release, fabrication result, component substitutions, complete power/SAO specification, safety/compliance evidence, or final-unit parity.
Badge: DC-34 Countdown to Singularity Badge
GitHub / eggsactly · retrieved 2026-05-15
Primary source for the eight-display/real-time-clock/button purpose, native KiCad/Arduino project layout, board-viewing and firmware context, bootloader statement, and published component-BOM claims. It does not establish a final build, production result, exact event firmware, safe programming/assembly result, or repository license.

GitHub / eggsactly · retrieved 2026-05-15
Primary public repository for a project explicitly described as a DC-34 DEF CON badge. It establishes a named current independent source project, not official DEF CON authorization, a physical run, finished hardware, event allocation, admission role, or reusable-image permission.
