A few weeks back, I was working on trying to patch a BSD driver for another Realtek product (a wireless network adapter) and their were a handful of comments / source reference mentioning "8051". I assumed this to be the microcontroller and, out of curiosity, attempted to disassemble the provided firmware binaries, sadly to no avail.
Does realtek publish their documentation on products publicly? I found it interesting that the author of the tweet has, for example, a pinout.
- andrewshadura 7y agoNo, they don't, and they usually don't answer to emails asking for it. You may be lucky finding it at pudn.com or other datasheet-sharing websites, but not officially from them.
- userbinator 7y agoIt's common with a lot of Chinese companies; they won't answer requests for datasheets, yet you can find them "leaked" elsewhere and they're not really bothered by it. I suspect it's more of a "we're not interested in answering your questions, which you will certainly have if we give you a datasheet directly" than any real concern over IP.
- Someone 7y agoTweet is gone, so I can’t check whether it matches, but I would think http://realtek.info/pdf/rtl8366_8369_datasheet_1-1.pdf http://realtek.info/pdf/rtl8366_8369_datasheet_1-1.pdf is a data sheet for this part. It has a pinout.
