TI's TCS211 aka Leonardo firmware is a mixture of C sources and linkable object
modules (packaged into archive libraries) in the COFF format used by TI's TMS470
compiler toolchain.  One of the goals of the FreeCalypso project is to transform
this firmware into full C source by analyzing the COFF object blobs with a tool
that groks the symbolic information present therein, then replacing each blob
either with a matching source piece from another TI firmware leak (e.g., the one
in ftp.ifctf.org:/pub/GSM/LoCosto) or with newly written C code that exports
the same functions and global variables etc, with logic inside matching the
disassembly of the original.

The present directory tree will hold the just-described project.
