27 for Calypso software development, we are doing the best we can to support
28 running our FreeCalypso firmware on this original TI hardware - see

132 Furthermore, in the case of firmware builds that have the phone UI layers
133 enabled (BMI and MFW, sitting on top of ACI), we likewise have different TCS2
134 and TCS3 versions of these BMI and MFW layers, also with full source for both
135 versions. Thus the chipsetsw foundation is always the same TCS211, but then we
136 bifurcate: we can build either a pure TCS211 config using TCS211 versions of
137 G23M PS (blobs), ACI (source) and MFW+BMI (source), or a TCS2/TCS3 hybrid config
138 using the new TCS3 versions of G23M PS, ACI and MFW+BMI, all in full C source
139 form.
