But I am well aware of: "If you can fix it in software, It is not a hardware problem..." > Can they do that without breaking your device? Hopefully yes. > Spend a little bit of time thinking about this. We will spend some time and discussing the bindings. Especially with the background of the STMAC. More on that in next version. Thanks for the input. Bene
