Mainline linux

Is running mainline linux possible and usable on Quartz?
Last time I checked (some time ago), Rockpro64 seemed to be the way to go for people looking for a fully libre (aka blobless) solution.

Yes it is. However more things will work if you use the pgwipeout kernel which is sort of improved mainline.
Kernel source here:- https://gitlab.com/pgwipeout/linux-next/...tz64-v5.19 On my quartz64-a I had to configure:- CONFIG_MOTORCOMM_PHY CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_OF_DWCMSHC Precompiled ones here:- https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64#pg...uartz64_CI

Mainline linux is possible and usable, but that won't mean it's blob-free. u-boot TPL (ram initialisation) and TF-A are still closed source.

There is a UEFI implementation https://github.com/jaredmcneill/quartz64_uefi but I know nothing about it including whether it actually works or whether it addresses the issue of closed source blobs. Anyone tried it?

it does work but it still uses tf-a/tpl blobs (note the rkbin git submodule)
