So my plan to analyze the firmware went off fairly well when I didn't know what ARM version it was. A good place to stop. I think this can be ported but I just need to learn more about it and how it was implemented.

So a few things that lead me to think this can be ported.

1. This was used for wifi on a couple wifi chipsets.

2. Tensillica used the dumb Azure Waves or whatever it's called on the ESP32 but implemented their own wifi stack.

3. This has it's own wifi stack with code from Tensillica that is open source. This is completely open source code.

4. There's already a Bluetooth stack that's open source I think for this chipset or it will be.

5. This is how many times I will quit before I find results.

6. It might be as simple as taking the assembly and addresses from the existing one and plugin the open source code.

Getting it to work will be the difficult part but it will be open source.

It's going to be pointless unless everything is going work well with the RTOS. At least upgraded internet is going to make this not infuriatingly slow.
