Beyond that, every other feature can run from open-source code. The schematics for the two boards inside the case are available, as are datasheets for most of the components. Those are on the wiki.

We're pretty open. Smile

Great to hear. Especially comparing to Intel/AMD with their cpu microcodes, management engines, firmware almost everywhere around.
Now PBP needs some kind of open firmware to be even more flexible.

I'm convinced now Smile
