NDAs are firmly integrated in the embedded industry. If you could get your hands on any other SoC, you would need to sign an NDA as well. For example Tegra documentation needs an NDA too.
- brigade 13y agoFreescale and TI tend to be good about providing heaps of documentation without requiring any NDA. Unfortunately, they're pretty alone in that regard.
- joezydeco 13y agoI tend to think the only reason TI and Freescale have good documentation is because they've been in the market a lot longer than the others and have had time to mature the work. TI had early wins with Nokia and Freescale has been in the automotive market and had some early multimedia work like the Toshiba Gigabeat (aka Zune 1). Providing a complete doc set for these chips runs well above 10,000 pages. I recently got to evaluate a Marvell chipset and...um...let's say it wasn't pretty.
