I've created a port of linux-sunxi-libre and I will announce new versions of
linux-sunxi-libre on linux-li...@fsfla.org.
The download link is here http://platen-software.de/linux-sunxi/
Here's a torrent version of linux-sunxi-libre-3.4.75.tar.bz2. Please seed!

I recently baught a Penguin Wireless N USB Adapter for GNU / Linux
(TPE-N150USB)
that I will use with my OLinuXino A13. Possible freedom respecting use cases
are a mesh router, a vorbis player. I also plan to port Linux-libre.
A linux-libre for the board would be great. Please keep us informed.
A similar Olimex board was awfully close to freedom respecting, now they've
released a new one...with a box enclosure for ~USD 47. There is an A20
version coming as well.
Olimex’s OLinuXino Allwinner A10
Would be nice if someone freed the video BIOS. (It is possible, several
projects did this for some cards from other vendors and the RadeonHD
driver supported older cards without running such code.)
There is no 3d since the driver needs nonfree microcode. Various cards
have problems with suspend
I was talking about nonfree graphics drivers in the second paragraph.
thanks for this info, I am looking to make my usb printer wireless and I
thought single board was the way to go with

if I understand fsf page correctly a beagleboard with trisquel will not have
the gpu working, which I
Check the linuxgizmos news site for leads. Many boards there.
AMD made a single-board computer called the Gizmo Board, which is x86 based.
I'd assume that it has an AMD video card, which generally require nonfree
drivers for 3D acceleration to work.
I hope Linus and other copyright holders of the Linux kernel will take legal
action against

Even with FPGAs you do not get the maximum freedom, currenly I am waiting for
the new free toolchain under https://github.com/Wolfgang-Spraul/fpgatools.
All other toolchains are nonfree.
Is the OLinuXino A20 freedom-friendly, too? It looks like the best one for a
mail server, because it has an Ethernet port built-in.
But you also have to consider whether it's a good idea to recommend these
devices in general. Since some people may need such features, recommending
that they use one of those devices is equivalent to recommending that they
use the proprietary software that's necessary to make those devices
There is nothing currently in existence that meets these criteria:

something that respects your freedom.
hi, this is my first post on Trisquel forum :-) ( but I use free-software
Distro from a long time ;-) ).
I'm very interested to buy a raspberry-like micro pc, and this is good :-P (
so, I can use a cheap and energy-save micro-pc for web )
on fsf site there's no mention about A20 board,
I recommond an external WiFi adapter such as
http://www.fsf.org/news/a-second-fsf-certified-device-from-thinkpenguin-long-range-usb-wifi-adapter-with-atheros-chip
Once I've ordered such an adapter (or two of them) then I will start porting
linux-libre-sunxi.
The GPU can be used in freedom,
Hello,
just read this article about a completely free alternative to the raspberry
pi:
http://linuxfr.org/news/olinuxino-la-raspberry-pi-version-open-source
(it's french)
The article claims that the board is completely free .
Here are different models:

The FSF posted a resource page about Single-board computers a while ago. All
the current existing boards are not without their flaws (nonfree gpu, wifi,
bluetooth) but they can be used in freedom. They do note that the workarounds
are far from painless.
They also list the boards with fatal
I know this list, but
The free startup software does not handle the internal memory; therefore
these machines have to be booted from an SD card every time.
what's the problem with this?
I will boot from sd card anyway with this device.
And I don't want to use wireless lan.
It would be nice if a project would start that uses projects from
opencores.org to build a fully free single board computer in both a software
and hardware perspective.
The devices listed can be used in freedom, the only problem is that these
workarounds and non-functional hardware can be inconvenient to some.
Since these flaws don't bother you, there is no problem with these devices.
