Hi,

is the Notecard ARM firmware open source or otherwise available?

Kind regards,
Thomas

Hi @tamberg, it is not, and we do not have plans to open-source it at this time.

Thanks. I can imagine that the firmware is your “secret sauce”.

In my experience, (industrial) customers want to know what code runs on “their” devices.

I realise that modem firmware is often proprietary, but your product includes “application level” firmware, so trust becomes more of an issue, doesn’t it?

Kind regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I’m curious what you mean by “application level” firmware. What kinds of use cases and trust are you concerned with?

Thanks,

Carl
