Es hat zwar weniger Binärblob's, aber wenn man Intel Chips verwendet kommt man nicht drumherum, es ist genau das Problem, was ich oben schon angesprochen hatte, um ein wirklich freies und Quelloffenenes-System zu haben, muss man auch den Hardwarebereich Quelloffen zu gestalten. Dies beinhaltet Firmware und Treiber auf der Hardwareseite.
"Less binary blob firmware and disabled manufacturer backdoors"
Beware The Blob!
If there is a price to be paid for this convenience, it comes in the form of the blob. A piece of pre-compiled binary software that does the hard work of talking to the hardware and which presents a unified API to the software. Whether you’re talking to the ESP32 WiFi through an Arduino library or booting a Raspberry Pi with a Linux distribution, while your code may be available or even maybe open source, the blob it relies upon to work is closed source and proprietary. This presents a challenge not only to Software Libre enthusiasts in search of a truly open source computer, but also to the rest of us because we are left reliant upon the willingness of the hardware manufacturer to update and patch their blobs.
An open-source advocate would say that the solution is easy, the manufacturers should simply make their blobs open-source. And it’s true, were all blobs open-source then the Software Libre crowd would be happy and their open-source nature would ease the generation of those updates and patches. So why don’t manufacturers release their blobs as open-source? In some cases that may well be due to a closed-source mindset of never releasing anything to the world to protect company intellectual property, but to leave it at that is not a full answer. To fully understand why that is the case it’s worth looking at how our multifunctional chips are made.
