When advocating the GTA04 I need to understand which bits are non-free.
Could you help me correct my current understanding of the issues?
- Wifi requires a non-free blob to work, and non-free drivers, but you
don't need wifi to use the device. If you dont load the firmware blob
the wifi hw does nothing. There are attempts at free drivers.
- The 3D display driver needs non-free SGX drivers, but you can use it
in 2D mode with free drivers. There are attempts at free drivers for
the 3D bits.
- The WWAN coprocessor needs a firmware blob that you upload via
USB. The coprocessor doesnt have access to the memory of the main CPU.
