This is what makes me concerned about ever needing to upgrade from my PC Engines APU2. It's about as open as a piece of hardware can get, including using coreboot, but now that they've wound down, there's not a lot of good options that occupy the same niche.
- transpute 2y agoPC Engines was a Swiss company with Taiwan manufacturing. Since APU2 schematics are open, rebooting PC Engines as a US company could be initiated by US leadership requesting AMD to restart production of the AMD GX-412TC SoC, until AMD can ship a Ryzen Embedded alternative with comparable power efficiency. The lack of a replacement SoC forced the end of APU2 and PC Engines. National policy tools are not limited to banning negative examples, they can also encourage scaling of positive existence proofs.
