Still waiting for open-source code for the board. (Yes, including the 3D accelerator.)

  If you don't have a compiler or documentation for the proprietary instruction set the GPU uses, what use is the source code to the binary blob that runs on it?

    The fewer unknowns there are in a system, the more easily the rest can be reverse engineered.

    That didn't stop nouveau, or r300 (which I was a part of). Given sufficient interest and time, it'll eventually get reverse-engineered, but I wish we had documentation or code, which speeds up the process greatly.

    It's just possible you're underestimating the capability of a hundred thousand ten-year-olds with curiosity, spare time, and the potential for bragging rights. At least, I hope so :-)

  And you know you're never going to get it. Broadcom + Imagination is like the axis of open source evil.
