I ended a day of working on computers and configuring them by getting a blue screen of death from a Video Driver.

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.

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.

@PriscillaCanada I'd recommend following @freemo and @lupyuen if you are interested in STEM, they are legends.

@PriscillaCanada I'm glad you enjoy it! Some places can be full of drama but most of us are friendly and welcome newcomers. Hope you continue to enjoy and explore!

I'm happy for Twitter users to discover what true Free Speech looks like. :ablobdevil:

If I can get past my 72 kbps internet connection without breaking everything, I will stay up long enough to port this.

Else if I will at least compare the binaries of this wifi stack against the BL602 and hopefully report back.

I need to start documenting my work like I said I would several times before. I love hardstyle.

So I am about to compile this firmware just so I can compare it to the BL602. Maybe it will be easy to port.

I found a wifi stack that should work but it is written in Low C and for ARM. Look up asm and convert to RV32 mapping, rinse and repeat. I think I already have it compiled so I could possibly uhm. I will find something. :blobcatdunno:

@igelsQTs That's when Personal Records come in to play. How can one be better than everyone else if they aren't better than themselves first?
It makes a lot of sense if you don't think about it.

Oh my goodness, RTEMS has config for RV32IMAC and RV32IMAFC. So what if it was originally named something else? I see no code involving Missile System operations or at least no guidance, pressure, barometric pressure or targeting. I feel better about this and might try to port this BSD 2 Clause and GPL v2 beast to a Buffalo. The secret sauce comes later if I can actually port it.

@wannesmalfait You love SAGE Mathematics yet or are you going to learn how to love it in the future?
