I feel like a VisionFive 2, with open source drivers, firmware and software would be good enough for me.
Would developing open source firmware and drivers for it really cost 10 million USD?
I understand the memory control needs a firmware blob, maybe we could overlook that for the time being.
I would really love 3D acceleration, but if a simple 2D display driver was all that could be done then I guess that would have to do.
Hopefully they will release higher performing chips, with open source drivers and firmware going forward?
