What does "full open source" mean? #38

Closed bryceschober closed 1 year ago

Doesn't the livpka.a blob contradict your claim that this is completely open source?

Also, it doesn't look like the toolchain is at https://gitee.com/bouffalolab/toolchain_gcc_t-head_linux is at all open source.

@bryceschober you can compile gcc RISC-V toolchain by yourself, and it will work just fine.

About binary blobs, RF stuff (WiFi, ZigBee, BT, Matter etc.) are closed sourced, due NDAs and various other problems. Everything else is open.
