Okay so the port is going very well. The code being ported isn't full of features and it uses a different RTOS. I really don't want to have to deal with capstones or integration into that RTOS.

If this has a USB or PCI connection, there would be a WNIC in a short period of time. I haven't noticed anything in the proprietary stack that would prevent me from ignoring it exists and controlling it with good code.

This has taken many edits to get rid of most of the insults.

I haven't gotten the port to work yet. It was nothing that would normally affect progress. An allergic reaction to something from some source and gastritis.

The good news is that I didn't do a faulty port.

My projects are going well. The communication stack is a bit different but similar. The firmware being ported is from a WNIC to a MCU WNIC thing. The stack is similar and shouldn't be difficult to get going.

The other project is the analysis part of a scrapped project. I just need to run it on the code of each device. I really hope this works.

One of my projects is coming back from the grave and it will be used in the port I am attempting.

If I can get this MCU to work with the modifications and operate the subsystem in the desired way, this will be a success.

If it was just as simple as Hello World. There will be a lot of code for just a recognizable sign of success. I'm still confident that this is the best bet.

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.

Part of this wifi stack is Tensillica licensed.

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

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.

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.

So I think I will try to port a Missile guidance system to the BL602 because it's GPLv2 and also maybe 🤔 it would be useful to show that wireless stacks are not very important to functionality. The K210 would be a better candidate based on power alone but maybe this could work. Idk, it's too cool of an opportunity to ignore.
(It's not really a missile guidance system, that's just what it was designed for and previously named after. Legally not a guidance system I think 🤔)

If I don't, maybe I will try a similar RTOS.
