Neuros is supposed to be an open source hardware company. Why aren all your products running open source software?
There are really two reasons for this. The first is that there are a great many partners that contribute to the production of our products. There are factories, middleware providers, codec providers, etc. There are large amounts of outside IP that goes into these products that are not developed by the device manufacturer. As a result, there’s a considerable amount of work required to replace that proprietary code with open source code. Ironically, Neuros is actually not that much different in that regard to 3rd party open source groups that hack the devices without the factory consent. Although we sponsor and encourage the hacking of our devices, it’s important to remember that we are only one part of the supply chain that get’s these devices built. The second reason is simply time.
