There are at least four projects I see that are starting to work towards selling RK3588 in their design.

Mnt Reform, Pocket Mnt Reform, Next Mnt Reform and Genbook RK3588.

Can anyone tell me what if anything they think/know is non-libre about it? And before anyone says this, the boot blob no longer is needed,

Just as a heads up.

From my understanding, the DDR Training Blob is still closed source? I'm not as knowledgeable about these things, and don't know if that's changed since.

Would appreciate if one of the others could confirm.

Your link is 3 months older though from what I see compared to mine.

I think it has been already done, given that.

Unless there is a more recent link to contradict it.

Well there is this too from just looking around. Says to compile U-Boot for RK3588, you need that DDR init blob. Seems to be updated around a month ago, so I guess we can assume we still need it?

https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/upstream_uboot.md?ref_type=heads

Also, on Rockchips website (I assume this is theirs anyways) they list all of their SOCs that are supported in mainline U-Boot. There seems to be no mention of the RK3588, which is probably because of that annoying blob.

Its a real shame too, I'd love to play with the RK3588 myself.

Hmm... perhaps you are right. Either that or it hasn't quite been added to uboot yet maybe due to being in beta

Cannot say for sure. But in either case, its too soon.

Some discussions on the matter.
