The Stadia controller runs on a NXP i.MX RT1061 MCU [1], and a Broadcom BCM43458 wireless chip.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Google_Stadia_(H2B)" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Google_Stadia_(H2...</a><p>Broadcom are $#&amp;@ for documentation and licensing, so I&#x27;m not super optimistic.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nxp.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;processors-and-microcontrollers&#x2F;arm-microcontrollers&#x2F;i-mx-rt-crossover-mcus&#x2F;i-mx-rt1060-crossover-mcu-with-arm-cortex-m7-core:i.MX-RT1060" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nxp.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;processors-and-microcontrollers...</a>

Although I&#x27;m unfamiliar with bluetooth drivers, how would you go about making binary files portable?<p>I&#x27;d imagine one would decompile the binaries, and modify the source code for redistribution as some portable library supporting whatever build target a user has. Of course, I assume (1) the decompiler can&#x27;t detect compile-time macros detecting architecture and (2) you&#x27;d be screwed if you need shared libraries.<p>P.S. Interestingly, the first link when one googles &quot;firmware decompiler&quot; is to CIA code on Wikileaks lol

This is also good for the future because Google will take down the update site on December 31

Stadia controller is by far my favorite. Glad they kept mine alive.

Have they renabled the controller mic yet?

I did this update on one of my controllers, and the lag most of the time was barely tolerable. The rest of the time was lag spikes that made games unplayable.<p>I thought maybe it was the fault of my BT chip in my computer, so I turned it off and plugged it in instead, and the lag was most gone, but still worse than my Razer Wolverine.<p>I just threw mine in a box and gave up on it. I probably won&#x27;t even bother flashing my other 2.

Wondering if this is firmware is signed, hoping they removed signing or it was never signed. I&#x27;ve used the controller a bit this week to play games on my android phone and quite like it.

Would love to know why mine needs to be forgotten and re-paired to my Nvidia Shield every time I use it now.
