The i.MX8 cannot be deblobbed? (NXP-signed HDMI firmware)

Hardware Librem 5
39

Up to mu understanding NXP i.MX 8QuadMax (MX8 and MX8QM) needs blob (IMAGE_BOOT_FILES += “hdmitxfw.bin hdmirxfw.bin dpfw.bin”), but the Librem 5 NXP i.MX8MQ doesn’t.

Initial wording: “Devices based on the i.MX8 or i.MX8M (such as the Librem phone or MNT Reform)” from The i.MX8 cannot be deblobbed were misleading, as I see it now, because those two processors are not the same ones:

  1. https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/blob/master/conf/machine/imx8qmmek.conf
  2. https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/blob/master/conf/machine/imx8mqevk.conf

@amosbatto noticed this already.
