Well damn. https://github.com/rmcc/proprietary_vendor_geeksphone/tree/master/one/proprietary > > Rhombus-Tech[2] is creating a Raspberry Pi-like product that will be > > 100% freedom respecting.

Now, Rhombus is also considering a BeagleBone-based product that may use a AM3357 instead of a AM3358. The AM3357 doesn't have the 3D graphics engine, so it would be OK. ~ Luke Shumaker _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.parabolagnulinux.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
