VIA Publishes Three Programming Guides
,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this week we shared that VIA had appointed an open-source liaison to
| work on providing the community with documentation and source-code for their
| products and work to improve VIA's image within the Linux and open-source
| communities. Since VIA announced their open-source strategy earlier this
| year, all they had provided was a simple kernel frame-buffer driver. However,
| VIA has now made available three programming guides that cover their PadLock,
| CX700, and VX800/820 products. In total these three documents amount to about
| 800 (PDF) pages.
