    Hello,
    I am very interested in the UDOO and also expectantly waiting - however I read it may not work with GNU/Linux! The drivers are non-free as Freescale i.MX6 does not have released source code: http://lists.gpl-violations.org/piperma ... 03422.html

    So the only code that will run is blobbed code with the sources. Meaning it is not possible to run fully free software on this board:
    https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/single-board-computers

    I would be very interested in seeing if UDOO team could work with the chipset providers to get the full source code and provide a GPL version of the GPU driver, this will be invaluable to us all so that we can run GNU/Linux (not just Ubuntu/Android which do not contain linux-libre kernel).
