Hey everyone,
Hear me out on this please: The Raspberry PI. Here's why:
- First and Foremost: It's cheap, very opensource friendly and available.
- Updates to the Broadcom Device Drivers and Linux Kernel Updates for Security Issues are likely to be available very quickly. Consider that the Raspberry Pi is used in Industrial Applications a lot these days. There are also more and more parts of the Pi getting reverse engineered drivers over time (Currently Kernel 6.6 is available https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/)
- At least some level of support for Android seems to be available but would require some major cleanup https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi5/LineageOS21/
- There are at least some Pi TPMs available (https://buyzero.de/products/letstrust-hardware-tpm-trusted-platform-module) and even making our own with any known good TPM manufacturers chip is well within the abilities of the Community. I wonder what things become possible when taking off the TPM is possible...
- Support for Secure Boot is there also https://pip.raspberrypi.com/categories/685-whitepapers-app-notes/documents/RP-003466-WP/Boot-Security-Howto.pdf
- A GrapheneOS Pi Desktop would be a great Debug and Showcase Plattform for Androids new Desktop Mode.
- PIs have been doing well with backward compatibility, so a future raspberry pi is likely to be at least somewhat backward compatible.
I'd love to see if this was possible and what parts we might need, if there's a possible working configuration i'll do my best to test it out.
