The Prism54.org site is full of inspiring work, but there seems to be a rather
fatal issue for the non-programmers.
The readme suggests that one needs the firmware to work with the chipset
(see line 2 under "requirements" in the README)
A link is given for the firmware but at this link a short interpretation of
international copywrite law is given stating that no firmware is available
with a cryptic message about a Windows driver:
"If you want firmware, please download the corresponding Windows driver and
use the *arm file in it."
I know what to do with an arm, but have no idea what to do with an .arm file.
Might someone consider rewriting the "Firmware" page on the site with a bit
more information for the non-.ARM-aware?
Much thanks,
~Doug
PS: I imagine I could deconstruct the windows file and fiddle with this .ARM
file, but I imagine the above comment makes sense to those immersed in the
intricacies of hardware drivers. I'm hoping one of these people might
enlighten us mortal users.
