1) was this project abandoned? or is it still active? If not, what was the last status of the source code? What works & what doesn't?
2) was there any effort to try to convert this to the newer 16-channel D16 protocol, and possibly include features such as F.PORT?
I'm mainly interested in flashing a D4R-II rx with new firmware in order to have it bind to D16 & be able to do 16ch SBUS and FPORT (basically, converting it into something like an X4R with the upgraded FrSky FPORT firmware).
As you know, there's already a firmware project on rcgroups by user "Mike Blandford," but it's apparently closed-source / he's unwilling to share his src.
