It's the binary blob. And now it's free.

That clears a major blocker porting Fremantle to other devices.

Yep, MCE is one of the biggest missing pieces as far as talking to the hardware goes.

Bugfixes and porting are great, but what sneaky evil can we commit where we were once restrained?

You are now at the top of my list of people to throw money at once I am financially able.

I am also totally jealous of your reverse engineering skills, and wish I was even close to where you are.

Hi Nicolai,

Shouldn't this be tested "as-is" before we start fixing bugs? Is there a test script we can develop to test all it's functionality before we start fixing things? Just voicing my concerns as this is as you know developed by reverse engineering the binary blob and other references.

one very obvious annoying bug that can finally get squashed now: dimming of indicator LED when locking screen in bright daylight. It's just two values that need to get changed in a const struct

I thought that it would be revolutionary bit it isn't... Why?

Probably the same thing as always - too many awesome things to do, not enough people that can already code it The few that can are constantly over-projected (if you excuse the pun).
