@bunniestudios What in the Novena *isn't* libre/free/open source ect.? It can't possibly be EVERYTHING (can it?), so what remains?
Many things -- I've written about it here and there. GPU/VPU drivers are problematic. "Fixed" firmware blobs in the SSD/SD card/battery gas gauge/keyboard/CPU/wifi (wifi's loadable fw is open). All chip designs & subcircuits inside LCD, SSD, keyboard are closed. Lots to improve.

By "fixed" do you mean that you've been able to mitigate them or that they're fixed in place and cant be replaced? I'd be interested to know how you handled SSD/SD blobs. I suppose a replacment keyboard is low-hanging fruit, but building an LCD driver or SSD is probably toughter.

fixed as in not loadable and generally irreplaceable. most people don't know those blobs are there and thus don't care... I do not have a solution to this problem myself.
