# uOFW: PSP kernel and firmware reconstruction

> uOFW reconstructs PSP kernel and hardware behavior to produce technical documentation and open source firmware. Its source tree contains kernel module implementations and headers for PSP subsystems including memory, interrupts, device control and media handling. The project describes its implementation as incomplete.
