Not true. Purism updated the RS9116 WiFi/BT firmware from version 1.2.20 to 2.0.0024. Plus, Purism has 4 commits to facilitate firmware updates for the RS9116.
“Facilitating” firmware updates is different than “shipping updates”. You need to understand what “shipping updates” means to an OS developer. Also the discussion was about all firmware including the cellular modem.
By the way, are you saying that Purism intends the firmware in the Librem 5 to be updated after delivery? If so, it violates the “secondary processor exemption” allowing proprietary firmware for RYF devices.
If “strcat” was in talks with Purism to port GrapheneOS to the Librem 5, then he should have known Purism’s position on firmware updates …
It depends on the timing of his discussions. But it’s also why strcat said “shipping updates”.
… he should have known that the Librem 5 doesn’t need to use an IOMMU to isolate its components because of the way that the phone is designed
This is one of those cases where you are so sure of your position that you didn’t read his position. It’s one of those cases where you are so sure of yourself, you accuse someone else of being wrong based only on your misunderstanding. Remember that I’m the one who told you that the USB2 bus (not the USB3 bus) is isolated from DMA (I told you this because I was arguing that the pinephone’s modem and wifi was as isolated as the Librem 5; you continued to obstinately refuse this argument and didn’t ever back off from the opposite position until Luke penned an article). But you didn’t read strcat’s other point in regard to his view about the need for IOMMU: Access to USB2 means that one only has to trigger a bug in the USB driver to have access to the kernel memory. USB2 is electronically isolated from DMA, but USB2 is not isolated from the kernel and a bug in the (monolithic) kernel driver exposes memory.
Did you not read his point or did you not understand his point? You have this habit of not understanding something and then calling them wrong with the apparent attempt to force them to bring it down to your level. That’s not their obligation. I usually oblige, but strcat doesn’t. In fact it’s why he thinks you are trolling/attacking him. And your response to him accusing you of harassing him was to call him paranoid and link to a video to another group that he thinks is attacking him. Did you not learn anything from your ban?
Please stop this pattern of behavior.
