Boards using TI or AllWinner SoCs don't have such blobs. Please list specific blobs which are the issue. (For AM335x used in BeagleBone Black, there is a small power management firmware under a nonfree license, but the SoC documentation suggests it being needed only for suspend to RAM which I don't believe is normally useful on that board. Regardless of this, that firmware looks easy to replace.)
