Does the ROCK64 use any closed source boot loaders, firmware, drivers or other blobs?
#4
first stage loader is closed, uboot is open

spl will in the future replace first stage loader

Mali is needed only for 3D acceleration, there's no 2D acceleration.

HDMI is driven by open source drivers. Kernel configures DW HDMI registers and maps memory where the FB is stored to be render by HDMI controller. The same FB is used by Mali to render 3D content. AFAIK all the rest codes to handle VPU are open.

So, closed blobs are:
- first stage loader with DRAM init code,
- MALI driver,
