Sure as far as it the kernel concerns that is true. As soon as you want hardware support for a specific SOC you depend on the hardware manufacturer. Which are not interested in open source and you are already lucky if they even want to deliver a binary blob.
We could pick a few suitable models (that are widely available for several years, even as cheap used ones) and crack the blobs. This approach already worked for several GPUs, starting w/ NVidia. Perhaps we should try to bundle the resources, perhaps even create a foundation which primary purpose is crack and disclose all blob drivers and firmware of general computers and destroying vendor lockins (including despotic restriction malware) --mtx _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
