Well that's nice, I wish they could have done that with their other
boards. Rather than all the omissions in the schematics, lack of
electrical specifications (except for the Compute Modules), and rare
official Broadcom documents that hardly look proof read.

For the Pi Zero you always seem to have to fall back on hearsay
and/or a snippet of code from part of the Linux kernel if you can
find it.

I get that this thing has some extra peripheral functions, but I'd
say a lot of the applications this is aimed at could be achieved
with an official and well documented bare-metal programming
environment for the Pi Zero. Mind you, maybe the weird business
model around the Pi Zero means they don't really want to encourage
that.
