Raptor Engineering was involved in the creation of a replacement, truly community-drive project called librecore that aims to work with upstream coreboot to keep blob-free systems available, while at the same time exploring modern boot methods in this libre environment. Raptor Engineering offers reasonably priced build-to-order systems and ROMs based on these existing blob-free machines, and unlike the current situation at Minifree the proceeds from those sales go 100% to both the maintenance of the coreboot support for those boards and to the development of new libre-friendly hardware and libre software. Raptor Engineering also offers preprogrammed 16MB Flash ROMs for those wanting to roll their own machines; the stock 2MB ROM is too small for embedded Linux.Last edited by madscientist159; 19 January 2017, 04:43 PM.
