A big client will buy thousands of chips once. Are there any relation

it's necessary to open their private property. When you are a big
client, you are VIP, all document and source code is open to you. And
if publish all technical documentation, competitors will know some
technical secret (e.g. bug;) they don't want them to know.
Open world is beautiful, but they will not actively participateif
there is no return. Why some China soc company publish some documents
and source code now? I think this is mainly for marketing. But no
matter how, VIP priority.
so the reason why chip manuals are not published is because there are
bugs in the silicon. gee! who would have thought it.
at least if we knew what they were we could maybe work around them.
i'm sorry but i don't buy this argument. fear of law suits because of
patent violations is a more plausible reason.
