Sifive has a mainboard for sale with a running riscv cpu. Many of the devices on the mainboard require non libre software.
What do you mean exactly?
I do not know exactly what I mean. Go to 31.20 in the video to hear what sifive means.
Can you tell if the mainboard is free software foundation compliant? If that is the case, I understood the video wrongly. I got the impression the mainboard requires non libre software to run. Software which makes the mainboard not free software foundation compliant.
At 43.39 in the video they say, they are using an external non libre software graphics card. If we got all of the source code for one of the mali gpu's, could the aforementioned gpu then be used on a riscv mainboard? Or in general, can you place a mali gpu on a riscv mainboard?
