Let’s face it, if you guys pick up steam, you’ll be doing your own hardware. It’ll be amazing that <i>if that happens</i>, you’ll also sell that hardware so that other Oxides can bloom, but you won’t and your excuse will be economic.<p>The problem is none of these hardware vendors have enough customers for them to be open with their specs. Even if they did, the majority of their customers would not have the expertise that you’ve hired for to competently take advantage of that interface. Instead, they’ll lob some HAL code at the customer, and if their orders are big enough, give them support. Internally, these hardware vendors will have multiple sourcetrees for each customer, and one customer’s fix will not be reflected in anothers for fear that it’ll break whatever the other customer is doing with it.<p>:(<p>That said, I hope you guys are supremely successful and spark a change in culture.
