Written by whom? I don’t think you can even fathom the complexity of modern phone SoCs. They make an x86 PC look like an oversimplified teaching exercise. And even x86 PCs aren’t as well supported by Linux as by commercial OSs. Fun to dream but the likelihood of this statement coming true is zero.
- fezfight 4y agoSo let's not even give them the chance? Ridiculous.
- dmitrygr 4y agoMany IP blocks in modern SoCs are licensed from third parties (eg synopsis). Usually those agreements preclude any public docs. Sorry. This won’t ever happen.
- fezfight 4y agoIf it's mandated? Sure it could. I agree that it would be hard but people need to remember that the government represents us. If we want it, we can make it happen.

- fezfight 4y agoCan't argue with that!
