I requested an ETA for the refactoring of the SDK and did not receive a clear and concise answer ... rather a cryptic response that implies that the wireless (RF) will not be made public ... and will only be available to customers under a NDA ... So that means that we need to wait for companies like Pine64 and Sipeed to release binary blobs (compiles libraries) with there SDKs ... Pine64 has nothing to offer currently for their Ox64 board ... and Sipeed's SDK is incomplete (maybe waiting on refactoring) ... but it may have enough to get this project started ...

Are there are any developers out there with any ideas about how to proceed? ... or if we should proceed? ...

Hey @sfranzyshen!Did the situation change since you opened this issue? Would like to buy some M1s dock but I am quite hesitant on how they handle open source.

Seems like they released binary blob firmware here: https://github.com/bouffalolab/blwnet_xram/blob/main/fw/bl808-m0-fh.bin as discussed here: https://github.com/openbouffalo/buildroot_bouffalo/issues/32 together with https://github.com/bouffalolab/bl808_linux and https://github.com/bouffalolab/blwnet_xram
