Public information on the STB0899 is limited.

In fact, as has been related by the driver's author, the chip is rather complex and even with possession of its datasheet, the chip's vendor had to be consulted on numerous occasions about un-published/documented features and inaccuracies within the specifications. And although STMicro has been very accommodating, the driver development was, and continues to be, done under a [[NDA]]. Further, this situation is quite unlikely to change.

Manu once reported that the 1st revisions of the chip had some serious issues, which were then solved in the 2nd cut ("CL2")
