Certain devices such as the current Librem 11 design will not meet RYF for the following reasons:
- ax201 WiFi firmware
- ME blob
- FSP blob
- Graphics microcontroller blob (though that one we might be able to remove, at cost of power consumption)
In fact, no devices from Intel or AMD in the last 20+ years will meet RYF. This is why the RYF devices you see are old Thinkpads, etc.
However…
Todd, @jonathon.hall and I had a productive conversation with Zoë Kooyman (FSF Executive Director) just now to clear the air on some past challenges and chart a course for our alignment moving forward. The meeting went very well and we were delighted that there was so much interest and overlap in our objectives. We are brushing off the dust on our efforts to have the Librem Key and Librem 5 devices RYF-certified, then will expand to additional options after we reach some of these milestones.
