AFAIR Intel alway is like that. Intel hardly open their documentations to the public because they only communicate with big PC/motherboard manufacturers, not individuals.
Intel did the same thing to hobbyist communities when Intel tried to enter consumer IoT market with Arduino101/Edison/Curie. They did open sourced the code (more than a year late since released the hardware though) but never provided good enough public documentations about the chips. Intel eventually gave up the market.
- solarkraft 8y agoIt's always amazing to me when a company has garbage developer support and then wonders why nobody wants to use their stuff or does anything good with it.
- wmf 8y agoI think Intel has good NDA support for paying customers. It's just the public they don't care about.
- kbumsik 8y agoIntel actually is a chip manufacturer that has the best dev support for organizations. e.g. Intel is the biggest contributor for the Linux ecosystem. It is just their business model didn't work well for open-source consumer IoT device market which is driven by hobbyist and relatively small companies.
