+# This page
+is about the Linux driver for the Broadcom 1570 PCIe webcam.
+By providing all the information in the wiki it means people don't need to read through all the open issues to get information about the driver.
+
+# Motivation
+Get the webcam included in the current Macbook Pro (first released in late 2013) working on linux.
+A lot of users would like to see this driver and but don't have the skills/knowledge to write it.
+
+# Difficulties
+It uses the PCIE bus rather than USB and Broadcom has not provided any specs.
+Writing the driver is going to be much more complicated :(
+
+# Approach
+It's a mix of probing, reverse engineering, reading up on similar hardware, guessing, etc.
+
+# Current Status
+* There is some code on github, written by Patrik Jakobsson, released under the GNU GPL v.2.
+* It is a work in progress and not yet working. There is a lot to do.
+
+# Roadmap
+* This driver will have to interface with the video4linux2 system as well as communicate with the underlying pci device. It will eventually be a V4L2 device so that it'll appear as a standard Linux webcam.
+* Patrik the roadmap can probably only be written by you... todo.
+
+# Other Questions
+### Can we use firmware from osx drivers?
+Yes, we need to load the firmware onto the device and I'm assuming that it can be extracted from the OSX driver. I haven't looked much at the firmware loading parts yet so not sure how it works or if the firmware is licensed in a way that allows us to distribute it with this driver.
+
+### How can I help?
+* Code contributions are welcome.
+* If someone could convince Broadcom to release the specs it would be immensely helpful.
