I've looked at the RISC OS USB stack a couple of times, one motive
being to get isochronous transfer mode going. However, I could
never find my way around the software. It's a sprawling mass of
disparate code, of a standard that would never pass any sort of
code review. The perfect maintenance nightmare.
There is one suggestion that I would make: collaboration. When
trying to solve problems like this, two brains will produce the
result in less than half the time; three in less than a third.
I realise that collaboration proportionally devalues any bounty,
but I can't imagine anyone working solely - or even mainly - to
win the bounty. All those of us who would undertake any task such
as this does it for the love of it. A bounty is just a nice bonus
at the end.
And if any more people would like to collaborate, my suggestion is
that the first part of the task would be to document how the stack
works, and add block comments into the code.
Just my view of things.
Dave
