other SoCs that fit the modular mainboard (including NXP, Amlogic, Qualcomm, Broadcom (Raspberry Pi) or even an AMD/Xilinx FPGA)
Out of the listed options, there is only the following option for booting without firmware blobs. The other listed options are based on RK3588 or Raspberry Pi, which require firmware blobs. Am I missing other options?
MNT Reform LS1028A Module (16 GB RAM)
This is the open hardware system-on-module featuring the NXP Layerscape LS1028A processor and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. LS1028A has 2x ARM Cortex-A72 cores and a Vivante GC7000UL GPU. LS1028A can drive external GPUs (adapter required). It can be used in the MNT Reform open hardware laptop or in any other custom device. Design files of this processor module are published under the CERN OHL.
This one supports specifically:
- Ability to boot the system without any binary blobs (see next section for caveat)
That is highlighted on the product page:
But doesnāt āOut of Stockā mean that this option is not available, unless there are used items from former buyers in the market? It is possible to order it through the crowdsupply page itself.
