The Pinephone doesn't have that specific issue, as it's a different CPU
(Allwinner A64), the same used on the pine64+ and pinebook, which are
supported in Guix's u-boot. I vaguely recall those boards having similar
types of issues early on requiring some binary blobs, but it was fixed
in u-boot upstream with a free implementation!

Yeah, one of the many features that pushed me over the edge in
supporting the mnt/reform was all the swappable components; if
reverse-engineering does not happen for one of the few components that
isn't already free, the component liklely can be swapped out for one
with a free implementation. And the inherent upgradability in designing
something with swappable components...


live well,
