First thanks suitsmeveryfine for the upvote. Wish I could see who upvotes and downvotes.

Second, maybe I exaggerated when I said "full of blobs". But it's true that the FSF considers those as little importance (hence they awarded the RYF) when in reality those two firmwares alone can render full disk encryption useless (totally possible that your password is recorded somewhere inside the device, ready to be read by an adversary).

Third, I would like to ask for your attention/help here:
http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/422-free-as-in-freedom-image/
As you can see, I am trying to convince Igor to release an image using only Free/Libre software. He asked for help with the kernel, a request that I consider appropriate. I asked jxself for help, don't know if he will actually do it or not, I know it's a lot of work but hope he realises the importance of this. Anyway, I was hoping some of you who do use / wish to use these boards in freedom, could maybe express that desire in the forum too, maybe help with the cleaning, or if someone can provide the kernel all the better. I am fine with cleaning the images myself, but I don't know enough about the kernel to do it myself. My earlier attempts actually didn't go all that well.
