They are all funky in this regard. Having worked for a chip company
before I can tell you they are very afraid of this. The issue with the
way the architecture went, as I think I said before, is that more
registers are exposed to the host because the chip only does the real
time aspects of the
I did some research on Nanoradio for my employer. They have very good
specs, actually the best I've seen for power. I'm not sure how mature
the product is. Nowhere does it mention opensource.
