Yikes. The i.MX8 is the core of the Librem phone.
"The i.MX8 cannot be deblobbed"

@slp That's pretty bad. Question is whether the Librem phone wants to utilize the HDMI or DisplayPort functionalities of the SoC or does graphics output somehow differently.
@schmittlauch Honestly, no idea. Let's hope it doesn't need it.
@slp FUD. Librem does not need that HDMI bullshit to work, and there are non-blob display options better suited to a phone screen anyway.
@11backslashes I certainly hope so.
@slp Maybe the Librem 5 doesn't use HDMI? No blob required then: https://lobste.rs/s/tmy0cc/i_mx8_cannot_be_deblobbed#c_8ihukt
@minus It looks like it doesn't.
