I finally understand how the BL602 uses Rivierawaves IP. It's not blatant plagiarism nor something I would have thought about. It's the Wifi and Bluetooth implementation together. This is hardware and code RE. It uses an SDR effectively. The IP has diagrams showing where open source code is used. It only appears to be easy to RE full stack and OS.

I remember hearing President Kennedy speak about going to the moon. "We do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard."

I still feel dumb for not getting it sooner and this has been an effort before now. Now I'm still without the goal, my best wasn't good enough and it's been over a year.

It wasn't pointless as I made progress. I'm going back in for another round.
