> It's a USB device I thought that USB could be hardwired, at least USB 2.0, because e.g. for my laptop I only need XHCI blob if I want USB 3.0 to work, otherwise all the ports are USB 2.0 but no blobs are needed for them to work.
> Please be (much!!) more specific about how AM335x is "not completely open". Beaglebone's AM335x includes PowerVR GPU which is not functional without nonfree blobs. But maybe it's not a problem if you'd be running it in a headless mode. > You didn't answer whether you have looked at spruh73. If I understood it correctly that spruh73 is a codename for AM335x then it's the same situation described above (nonfree blob required for PowerVR GPU) Best regards, Mike Banon On Mon, Nov 26, 2018 at 3:52 AM Peter Stuge <[email protected]> wrote: > > Mike Banon wrote: > > CH341A is made by Jiangsu QinHeng Ltd., and there's a datasheet - > > http://www.anok.ceti.pl/download/ch341ds1.pdf - according to which > > this CH341A has just a few config registers, no internal memory for > > any firmware > > It's a USB device; if you look at the USB protocol you'll quickly > realise that it's quite likely that every single USB device runs > firmware - you just never see it with some devices. > > > > > Peter Stuge wrote: > > > You can't possibly be equating Broadcom to TI in terms of openness? > > > > Indeed TI is more open than Broadcom, but still not completely open. > > Please be (much!!) more specific about how AM335x is "not completely open". > > You didn't answer whether you have looked at spruh73. > > > > I don't know any single board computer that has been endorsed by Free > > Software Foundation, > > Is that your primary metric, or do you rather try to find facts yourself? > > > //Peter > > -- > coreboot mailing list: [email protected] > https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
