get pinebook listed on FSF advised hw list
#1
FSF has a page that lists hardware that can be run fully on free software.

the laptop related page is this one. they have modified lenovo thinkpads there, where the bios have been replaced with free software alternative.

my understanding is that pinebook pro's firmware is also free software, and it can find its place at FSF site.

if so, will pine64 initiate the process to be listed at FSF website?

Have you tried contacting them?

They may not be aware already.

PineBook Pro and other devices from Pine64 doesn't run entirely in free software. There are some proprietary software, like drivers to run Wifi and Bluetooth. While there is no good alternative to substitute those, FSF won't recognize PB.
