Not having the ServoV4 available to anyone but Google employees completely invalidates any praises of this thing being "open".
Additionally, the Titan C chip included on the mainboard doesn't appear to be socketed (please correct me if I'm wrong), so you're basically stuck with a proprietary processor hooked into your machine doing god knows what. Note that the Titan C isn't open source like the "OpenTitan" project, which means they're basically privacy-washing chromebooks.
I don't have a problem with them making a chromebook but not releasing Coreboot firmware for the existing boards is giving me bad vibes, really worried Framework's leadership is compromised.
- amstan 4y agoServov4 is overkill unless you need to be testing your chromebook 24/7 in an automated fashion. Everything else can be done with a SuzyQ instead. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/hdctools/+/HEAD/docs/ccd.md#making-your-own-suzyq https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/hdc... https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/14746 https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/14746 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGsyXlgSxFk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGsyXlgSxFk
