Broadcom&#x27;s &quot;connection&quot; to the project often seems circumstantial, like the Pi project is a blip on nobody&#x27;s radar. Several of their engineers used to work at Broadcom and they&#x27;ve been under NDA lock and key, bending over backwards to help people progress on things that they can&#x27;t officially talk about by leaving the least subtle clues ever so that they can move the process forward.<p>The GPU&#x2F;camera integration in particularly is really painful - people have gone to insane ends to reverse engineer how it&#x27;s working so that they can access features that aren&#x27;t documented.<p>As a heavy Pi+camera user (I use 70 at a time every time we ship a unit) I appreciate the efforts of all these folks so much.
