- wyldfire 8y agoNot even. You have to pay a royalty to ship one of these M0 designs, still. It's just designed to be more appealing to research.
- slededit 8y agoThe blog post said royalty free though... I agree its not exactly super clear.
- duskwuff 8y ago> Pretty sure they will be precompiled RTL blobs. They are. Encrypted, too.
- exikyut 8y agoUgh. That's all I needed to know. (Thanks.) There goes a very large pile of potential security research out the window.
- duskwuff 8y agoThat all being said, my sources tell me that tools exist which can decrypt the .vp files. It's still not going to be particularly readable, but at least it's available for analysis.
- exikyut 8y agoHmm. Well, I get the impression the tools you mention are probably less hens-teeth than the ARM bitstream files ever were, so this development is pretty cool then.
