Why only that particular rk3399 board? My rock64 runs blob free, as I would imagine most rk3328 boards do. The rk3399 type c port does require a blob, but I guess that is optional and boards without the USB3 type c port do not need it. Other than that the only blob I need for my PBP is for the broadcom WiFi modem. Are there any ac WiFi modems that work without blobs? I have only seen the ath9k chipsets which top out at 802.11n
With that said, I worry an rk3399 would run hot in a phone. Hopefully the thermals on the rk3588 are better. But rockchip is dedicating die space to a poorly supported "neural processing unit" now, so we will have to see.
