I've long been unhappy about public projects that
chose to use a Qualcomm chip, because even basic
information is kept unavailable.
Lately NXP has been getting asshat inclinations, and
locking datasheet pdf files, including many that have
previously been released unlocked. These files are
locked with almost no permissions, so that you can't
add a 'sticky-note' comment, extract a page for a
report, or to help document a design, or do anything
useful. It's a snub in the face of the customer,
and especially a slap to the face of an engineer
who's trying to become a customer, dammit-all!
Why in the world does NXP want to punch me in
the face as I'm looking at a datasheet for a
stupid little Schottky diode, for Pete's sake?
If NXP becomes a Qualcomm company, I fear things
will rapidly go further downhill.
