At least some of the Orange Pi boards don't require any blobs (if you ignore the boot ROM - which isn't user replacable in any case, and that's probably a good thing since it improves brick resistance). The open source drivers for the hardware video decode and graphics are a little bleeding-edge and require a very recent kernel and libraries though.
- gjsman-1000 7y agoThe Orange Pi uses Mali Graphics, which _may_ (I'm not certain) have a proprietary RTOS on it. I do know that The Raspberry Pi has a RTOS for the VideoCore GPU, and it is based on ThreadX RTOS, which is proprietary and used on "billions" of devices. The RPF will never be able to make that OSS.
