Hi Thanks for the riscv hosts! I want to recommend a device that can be used to build Trisquel's riscv binaries, but it has to work without non-free blobs. In your announcement, you mention that you run upstream u-boot and near-upstream linux kernel, but does anyone know if this device would also work with a blob-free u-boot and blob-free linux kernel like linux-libre?
