Hardware documentation varies widely in quality and accessibility — ranging from treasured to frustratingly opaque. In this talk, we’ll introduce a framework for classifying types of hardware documentation and discuss their impact on enabling community-driven innovation.

We’ll showcase a real-world example of valuable documentation by exploring how Texas Instruments’ open documentation for the J784S4EVM empowered us to debug and fix its watchdog system. This process involved navigating multiple subsystems within the SoC, leveraging publicly available resources every step of the way.

Attendees will gain insight into how open documentation accelerates debugging, fosters collaboration, and enables independent hardware support. Beyond this case study, we hope to inspire vendors to embrace open documentation practices and encourage community members to prioritize documentation quality when selecting hardware.
