I don&#39;t see any problem with having to talk to invisible firmware.<div>Surely that&#39;s normal for devices with firmware?</div><div>In this case, it seems even better for Plan 9, because the OpenGL/ES engine is in the firmware,</div>
<div>so we don&#39;t need to write or port one, just talk to an existing one.</div><div>It&#39;s similar situation to a wireless device I drove some time ago: apart from a slightly strange protocol to</div><div>talk to it, the firmware did all the work (as on the Orinoco cards),</div>
<div>the interface was quite high level, and there was no need for MadWifi etc.</div><div>I didn&#39;t feel hard done by because I couldn&#39;t change the firmware.</div><div><br></div>
