>if you're selling these boards/part/fpgas aren't you strongly incenvitized to throw as much sample code over the fence as possible so that people buy your hardware in order to use your code? I wish... this is a problem for general embedded things. We just recently bought a cubesat bus and the only way to interface our hardware with it is to send CAN bus frames to it. We asked them for an SDK and they don't have it. Instead they sent us a bunch of ICDs with screenshots of readthedocs snippets containing the frame structures. The unfortunate answer to that question is that unfortunately we don't make purchasing decisions based on whether sample code exists, or detailed documentation quality for niche embedded hardware. Maybe because everyone is not giving those things.
