Ah, I thought the initfs source was public. Apparently not. > Kernel is free to modify too but (closed) wi-fi modules depend on it so > you can't deviate too much. Well, only umac.ko, and Kalle has a public cx3110x project, so you should be able to rebuild it to run on whichever kernel you create? > It looks like you also need to have bme running in your free solution > for charging to work.

There are very few parts which require actual reverse-engineering; the main part, I'd imagine, would be the Retu RTC. The rest (e.g. display blanking) is already publicly documented. Cheers, Daniel
