If there only was a version of this thing with a more serious storage (like a small onboard NVVMe or something) and a boot path like coreboot or EFI... is there mainline 2d / 3d acceleration nowadays?
Could even release a USB-C dock so we have power, ethernet and displayport with one connector...
- floatboth 6y agoThere is indeed EFI https://rpi4-uefi.dev https://rpi4-uefi.dev – even with ACPI tables, but if you choose ACPI you won't get all the Pi-specific devices (i.e. the GPU I don't think has an ACPI attachment yet). And there has been 3d acceleration drivers in mainline linux for even the previous Pies too for a few years. But only in Linux.
- ohazi 6y agoI'd be shocked if coreboot ever supports the Raspberry Pi... the boot process on the Broadcom SoC is completely insane. The GPU is actually responsible for starting the CPU on power up, and it needs several firmware blobs in order to do that.
