    Im not going to continue the conversation stating info on what I find. Kernel is irrelevant in this situation. Look up how tizen loads and how the srp works.
    If there are relevant updates I will post, Im not going to comment on things to which people seem to just want to troll. Google is a friend use it.

    I don't think he has claimed to have proved that the CPU is different. It would be foolish for anyone to claim to know if the SoCs are the same or different without proof.
    The possible differences between the SoC in the NX1 and the one in the NX500 will not necessarily appear in the source code that Samsung has released. The same source code can work with different hardware depending on how it is configured. What's more, there are probably (well, almost certainly) binary-only firmware blobs that are uploaded to run certain parts of the SoC that aren't directly controlled by the kernel. The kernel doesn't even have to include all the drivers needed to run the hardware. For all I know they might be using a user-space driver or proprietary kernel modules for some components, which would not appear in the GPL-required source. Or they might not. But you would have to carefully analyze the entire firmware image to find out.
    There are many possibilities at this point. The silicon could be identical and fully enabled in both chips. It could be identical and configured differently by low-level binary firmware. It could be identical but with parts permanently (laser) disabled. It could be different.
    As far as I know it isn't possible to tell apart those four (or more I haven't thought of) cases for sure just based on kernel code. Or it might be possible to prove. All we know right now is that the CPU cores themselves are functionally equivalent, which doesn't really matter anyway.
    If anyone knows that I'm wrong, please correct me. I'm somewhat familiar with embedded Linux, but I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination.

    You do bring up similar points about the nx of which I was thinking. But unless we can get the chips uncapped and analized there is no way to know for sure. The power requirement of the srp may have made samsung switch to a asic block for the nx500, as the drimev-s also shows up in the fcc docs as running the not released nx mini 2. 

    Now as I stated before there is not much I can post showing what Ive been doing. Dumping ip code is not something I wish to do as that opens a whole lot of legal grey area. Theres a reason the sources dont include everything. They reuse a lot of their ip, and just update the functions inside, as I said I have seen much reference to the nx300 but when you compare the two files there are changes conducive to the hardware the nx1/nx500 runs.

    By all means I did not promise anything, although my goals have been stated. With the warning that it may not work the way I intend and doing the due diligence to document and track changes over versions and to compare the findings to the nx500. As you seem to know your way around coding you understand the complexities of binary blobs and reversing them back into c. 
    The script stuff that otto k and vasile are doing show promise, and in the past month things have moved very fast. If you were around when the gh2 was being modded it took quite a while for ptool to happen. Not saying they are the same but having the ability to up bitrate and access other parts of the os is nothing to scoff at. 

    I can either keep posting tiny parts of what Im finding and documenting as I go or do what I have been the past two weeks and work and ignore what is going on here until situations like this arise and I feel compelled to reply.

    Please reread the whole thread, the nx1 and nx500 cpus are not the same at all. They reuse a lot of code, Parts of the encoding blocks reference nx300 things, it doesnt mean they are the same as the nx300. The architecture may be similar but from what I have seen code wise is quite a lot of difference, yes both are tizen, both have very similar control file structures, but look into them and the function calls change for obvious reasons, now Im not saying you cant use code from either, just that like everything it would have to be adapted. and modified with the proper nx1/nx500 references.

    Minor update, still doing what Im doing, still digging and documenting what changes Im finding in the firmware, have started to explore with telnet and the camera. Its looking good. Have a few ideas on how it utilizes firmware updates but nothing solid yet. But I like how both stages are progressing. Although i wish I had more to show haha but dumping c isnt going to have a point! I should have a major update in a few days though!

    The differences between UHS-2 and UHS-1 are vast. In looking into what card slot the nx1 contained there was quite a lot of info on how they run. The UHS-2 has 8 or so extra pads to do the data rate it is designed for. There could be numerous reasons for the failure. But the max datarate of UHS-1 is 104MB/s So UHS-2 is a must for any of the firmware mods I am going after. More testing is needed though for sure. See how close we can get to the max of UHS-2 write.
