Hi Yuanhan,

There appear to be more people interested in this solution. My 
expectation is to get the fundamental part of device finalized in 3 months.

For the pmd patches, I think it would be great if people can start the 
review from the non-device related part (e.g. the data transmission logic).

Best,
Wei
