Re: [Trisquel-users] linuxvoice about riscv hardware

[dguthrie]

Such a computer would be better than what we currently have. I would look at  
it pragmatically. A hypothetical computer with free hardware design, free  
bootloader, free graphics and wireless, but with the non-free IO controller  
is less bad if they have a commitment to use their best efforts to make the  
IO controller free. I think Google chromebooks are an example of computers  
with a free embedded controller (which I think probably plays a similar role)  
so it is not unrealistic that an embedded controller could be freed.
Lowrisc would be good for laptops and tablets. Single board computers are  
becoming cheaper, so a truly free computer may arrive in the near future.
