This is great news! And what is also great about this is that the
specification for the device is included.

Very nice! AFAIK this is the first time that the community can help in
delivering a free core component. I really appreciate this!

What is also great is that DSME is going to be opened. The temptation is
big to ask for BME as well but for today let us be happy with the things
we got. :)

In talks to other people here at the summit the move to open those two
components was seen as a good step in the right direction.

Congrats to those who made it possible!

Regards
Robert
