You may be disappointed what you can accomplish with the ARM microcontroller. It is not responsible for mod/demod. Those functions are in silicon. If Marvell would publish the 88W8388 and 88W8015 documentation, it would jumpstart some open-source development. Source code is a poor replacement for proper chipset documentation.
