- uvdiv 14y agoThey're not open-source hardware in that sense. What they publish is a 19-page pdf of schematics of how the components are put together [1] -- and even that has redactions due to NDAs (like page 14 -- the say they have a "super NDA" with the GSM chip provider that bans them from even publishing the datasheet!)
