Librem 5 smartphone - Hardware Kill Switches demonstration video

Don’t want to seem a bit harsh, but… How does this demonstrate that kill switches really work as intended and not as discussed in this topic ?

Something like a video from this issue would seem to be a more solid demonstration of what kill switches really do.

The gitlab issue with the video that you posted, relates to that thread you created and linked. Both of them relate to the devkit and not the final L5. The device on the Gitlab issue is a devkit.

Like we said there the HKS in the L5 work differently from the devkit.

While on the Devkit it “kindly asked” to disconnect the wifi and others according to the respective standards, we were not sure if all chips would respect the standards.

So for the HKS in the Librem 5 instead of “asking kindly” we made it so that it literally cuts the power to chip (and no chip can disrespect that standard)
