>So what's the point of running it on hardware designed to address the issue of running FOSS alongside a blackbox baseband? The exercise of maintaining an open baseline is valuable. Also, having a development platform is valuable. Some modern phones keep the blackbox baseband isolated on a non DMA bus, such as usb. In those cases, you simply don't t rust the baseband as anything but a packet forwarder, and enforce full TLS/VPN at a low level in the operation system. It is limited, though. No argument there.
