Thank you for the detailed information, I really appreciate all of the work you have put into this so far. Hoping it won't be that long until you have the prototype ready
Are you going to open source the firmware once it's done? Or maybe you haven't decided yet?
The meaning of opening source is that, others can do enhancement or add new features into it. Unfortunately, I doubt that, because the firmware is much complex than any one in the market. Take mitosis for example, lots of people only wants to use it, instead of enhancing it. Let's split is great but its too simple, comparing to dual mode(wireless and usb). Not to mention bluetooth 5, it needs professional view.
So, I can even imagine that, its still me(only me) who did most of the work, plus the open source community maintenance, which is another burden. Also, probably comes with other dispute, take China faked bface for example.
I am one man team, not because I want to be. Just because I can not find other teammates who can dedicate to focus on firmware coding/designing. I always comes with high demand. Even simple tiny things, I want it to be perfect - none can do it right now.
As a result, I won't open source it till the situation is changed. Right now I only want to focus on development till it is released - it needs some huge work
