Sources for MCU binaries?

[cyrozap]

Will the microcontroller firmware be made open source? It would be nice to have that available so support for other displays could be added.

[IvanChen0]

the same question!

[Oxore]

Btw, what about Spartan FPGA RTL firmware? Going to build all hardware by myself and can't find FPGA firmware here.

The same question: Will the microcontroller firmware be made open source?

[Kasijjuf]

Still waiting for the firmware source. Hurry up and release the firmware source code or stop falsely claiming this project is open source.

[artob]

Did this ever happen?

[danuker]

I'm not buying this hardware, for this very reason.

[MulanVR]

Ryan, can you make the firmware public? It's in sensics repo. Razer had been also asking (for 2 years now) to make this public...

[rpavlik]

Sorry about the miscommunications - the asks hadn't made it down to my level, thought there might still be some approval required. (There might be some weird almost-useless include that I wasn't fully assured of the Apache 2-ness of IIRC, but those should be easy to replace if they exist.)

Have now opened the repo, at last - sorry this took so long, I am quite happy it finally is open though I wish it was earlier too: https://github.com/OSVR/OSVR-HDK-MCU-Firmware

I don't remember what the various non-master branches are - probably in-progress attempts at cleanup or refactoring, since parts of the code were fairly "legacy". However, I had been tagging releases and such in this specific repo for some time, so it should be fairly useful.

[rpavlik]

(And of course, @MulanVR , if there are any other Sensics repos that you'd like me to flip the "open-source" switch on [that aren't otherwise restricted by third-party NDAs], just let me know the repos and licenses! :D )

[ShalokShalom]

Is there still any plan to release the hardware also?

[godbyk]

@ShalokShalom See the https://github.com/OSVR/OSVR-HDK repository.

Thanks. Can you help to clear things up? Wikipedia says, this is not really open source:
