Hello, just wanted to point out that hydrausb has reverse engineered the usb (and also serdes) closed source drivers (teenyusb as well I believe). I understand wanting to keep sum stuff secret but that cat is out of the bag, any usb secrets are out in the wild albeit in not the most easiest formfactor. So with no more usb secrets it would make a lot of sense to add tbe usb sections to the datasheet? Think about it the only difference between doing that and not doing that is how easily your customers can use your products. Also as it stands we have a buggy closed source driver that has never been updated since its release, no docs on usb peripheral or its closed source driver, and 2 fairly niche usbd examples that leave A LOT of required info for basic things in the dark. This can leave a bad taiste in peoples mouths. But if you release the docs it null and voids those points. Just want to reiterate with usb secrets exposed the only difference in releasing/not releasing the docs is how difficult it is for us to use your products. I think this makes sense for you and us. Thank you for your time and your very cool products! Please please release the info, I really want to use these boards I have with a reasonable amount of effort.
