Hi all
Its the Atmel Xplained Boards compliance with the target of having 100% opensource hardware in ROM, ARM TZ, or memory handlers?
If as everybody says ARM is not open from the origin, posible to find a 100% fully opensource and open source code SOC 100% with no hiden ROM stuff?
It is posible to do reverse enginer to compile the ROM result with accurace from the source with a corsscompiler?
Thanks
Regards
Enrique
Yocto Linux runs on this. Se description. The only thing that might be needed is the Mali GPU core.
This evaluation kit is a fastprototyping and low-cost evaluation platform for Atmel’s SAMA5D4 Cortex
-A5-based microprocessor (MPU) design. You can download a Linux distribution from linux4sam.com that includes the Linux Kernel 3.10 with LTS (long-termsupport). The build incorporates both Linux Mainline and Yocto support. For bare-metal developers not using an operating system, Atmel offers a complete C software package including many examples to get you started fast. The board comes with an HDMI port and a rich set of ready-to-use connectivity and storage peripherals. There are expansion headers for easy customization, including the headers for Arduino Shields and Xplained Wings. You can use the USB device connector to power the board as well as to program and debug it. Last but not least, the SAMA5D4 Xplained Ultra embeds a unique MAC address and serial number which will ease the connection to an Ethernet network.
- SAMA5D44 Cortex-A5 Microprocessor
- 512MBytes DDR2 and NAND Flash memory
- 1 EEPROM with a unique MAC address and serial number
- LCD connectors
- 10/100 Ethernet MAC with PHY and connector
- Three USB connectors (2 Host and 1 Device)
- One HDMI connector
- 1x SD/eMMC and 1x MicroSD slots
- Arduino R3 Shield and Xplained Wing compatible expansions headers
- Power measurement straps
As to 100% I think you find that hard on even the Raspberry Pi. See the bold which allows you to roll your own and cross compile.

PS for some reality checks.
