Petition to Coby Electronics Corp.

I've started a petition to Coby to release the firmware source-code for the Kyros MIDs into the public domain. You can sign it here. Please share on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc!

Hi,

I'm wondering what they exactly have to release publicly.
The kernel sources published by Telechip (https://www.telechips.com/technical_support/kor/opensource/opensource_list.asp#none) support tcc880x chipset used in generation2 tablet. Do they have to release something else ?

Good question. I don't really know that much about coding but from what I've gathered, open-sourcing a device's specific firmware allows independant developers to more easily create ROMs that are more tailored to a device.
