Pinephone and open source firmware for baseband
05-28-2023, 12:14 AM
What the posts by GrapheneOS complain about are that even in Biktorgj's modem firmware, the DSP firmware is still the same proprietary blob as in the completely proprietary firmware, and they claim that this is not properly communicated by Pine64. In the end, it all amounts to disagreeing on what "modem firmware" and/or "baseband firmware" really means (and whether they are the same thing or different things). Biktorgj himself is pretty upfront on what his firmware replaces with Free Software and what not, in any case.
