hi kevin, since this week is the first week of new semester, i should go though each department for checking in schedule. about the usbrom i think the usbrom memory still should be analyzed in the following days. it should be basic memory of libpayload and usb stack. PMM code will be completed in a few days. I will test it later. anyway as you said it would be helpful to hear from anyone who is interested in usbrom project.
