You will need: - own evaluation board and some jtag adapter for openocd (i use bus blaster v3, some thing else should work too) - probably most important, fix you patch and community skills - if i see it correctly, your reputation need really hard work to be acceptable. If you ok with all this, send me privately you skype name. It is probably most stable way to communicate with devs in china. --=20 Regards, Oleksij --jWQ0m8DLCa2F8FWXotvj9dK9It0VEUBhw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlUVh3gACgkQHwImuRkmbWn9FgD+MtZP/AzFgE6uWoqzkt16CN6S /o5zUzBwgfLSNauafxkA/iTPd1m5j0KHV+vhbyqw6n4ZZNlRURhedhkSQnNB67n+ =vBKZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jWQ0m8DLCa2F8FWXotvj9dK9It0VEUBhw--
