No bother; you are not being difficult, you just got stuck behind some obstacles. (Then again, I can see why, copyrights and all.)

@SittButt

I appreciate your comment, but dingux is 99% the work of others, and I can't sell it, nor sell my 1% separately.

Also, if I knew of a way to monetize my work, I'd make it my job and we'd all benefit from it.

The best I can come up with as of now is to do it for fun&learning and for the joy of the appreciation of others for my work (feels incredibly good).

Problem is that I can't publish the schematics, CC1800 programmer's manual nor BSP (Board Support Package). I can publish any linux code (they provided a very preliminary version which needs quite a bit of work before it boots). I will publish the kernel as son as:

1- I find a way to boot it via SD or USB.
2- I get it to boot at least to the prompt.

Otherwise it's of no use to anyone and pretty much impossible to achieve the above without the info I can't publish.

Believe me, I don't like to be the bottleneck (and I'm not even remotely the best bottleneck out there, but's that's just how things have rolled out).

@gsoft

Hit a wall with the x760+, and had to sorta put it aside. Besides, given the step CC took, I though the CC1800 should have priority to keep things with CC from cooling down (x760+ is legacy for them). I will give it another try, I owe it to all the x760+ owners.

@mammoth

You're being a bit too harsh. As a company, they have a LOT of open fronts and again, as any other company, limited resources. It's their money and their decission, plus they're still providing information and helping as much as they can.

Regarding the handing out of the information, please give some credit to them. They're providing me with quite a lot of information (which yes, is somewhat low quality, but is just what they have). Some of it can't be disclosed, and some will be as soon as I've sorted it out to be of any use to others (I'll publish a linux kernel as soon as I get it booting).

Booboo, got an idea that you can make this port and sell it to repay your time ?

If you make it, i'll pay for it if this work.

i gues you have give up the x760+ ?

Buena suerte Booboo, ojalá tengas listo el Dingux cuanto antes, pero claro, entiendo que tenés obligaciones familiares laborales que no se pueden dejar de lado. Ánimo, y a tu ritmo.

Good luck booboo.

I'm going to buy one when your dingux supported the device. Take your time :)

what a joke chinachip are. i really thought they'd grasped it this time, but evidently not. they dont need to employ or sponsor anybody, they just need to either;

a) get some decent software programmers to sort out their crap for them.
or
b) hand over the info needed to joe public and allow them to do the work.

i really thought they'd got it this time, nevermind.
