So, other than mangement engine firmware, that's a yes? We'll be able to turn it on and run 2d and 3d acceleration without closed-source blobs?

  No, it has a Mali GPU, you still need a blob for that. The SoC doesn't have 2d hardware, unlike some older Allwinner chips.

      Looks like Lima would be needed on the Pinebook, how well does that work ?

        Not sure. Why is everyone talking about the original Pinebook now? The Pro is coming.
