Hello everyone.
Please tell me, has anyone tried to install Trisquel https://trisquel.info/ or Parabola https://www.parabola.nu/ distro with linux-libre kernel on a Pine64 RockPro64 single board computer?
Free GNU/Linux distributions => https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
As reported on the FSF-Free Software Foundation website.
Rockchip devices based on the RK3288 or RK3399 chips are usable with free software. Accelerated video encoding/decoding is supported with free software, with upstream support on-going via the "hantro" driver. These Rockchip devices have Mali GPUs supported via the free Lima and Panfrost drivers. Display out over type-C requires a proprietary firmware on RK3399, but HDMI may be used instead. Wake-on-word functionality with the RK3399 DSP may require a proprietary firmware. More recent Rockchip devices require nonfree blobs in order to boot.
