any ARM board is a stretch. Several rockchip boards can boot with mainline uboot and no firmware blobs.
And this board, the honeycomb, has an actual uefi implementation.
If anything the SoC vendors are getting in the way, not ARM itself. They just license CPU and GPU designs.
- p_l 5y agoARM took its sweet, sweet time delivering SBSA and its follow ons. Including keeping the specs secret for a time. To call it anything other than self-own would be reaching. Because yes, ARM stewards also the UEFI efforts on ARM. It's why I laud Honeycomb and similar companies that actually take care to implement sensible firmware.
- rektide 5y agoI agree with you both very strongly. :) I think the SoC vendors have been one of the primary obstructions in ARM availability. But I also think ARM has failed to take responsibility for ecosystem success, has let their market position rot into place.
