Hi Christopher.  Thanks for the reply.

That link leads to another link which has lots of Broadcom files, but none that end in “.txt”
It also warns that there are multiple versions of the chip and the “.txt” files are specific to the board as well.

The more I learn, the less I know…  Does anyone know more about the Wifi implementation on the Cubox devices?

Thanks for any help you can give!
