Any desktops/laptops/motherboards/SoCs that do not require closed-source firmware blobs out there?

How about this?
- they're expensive
- you can't use them without bullshit crapware; even if you generate a netlist with your own tools, you still don't have the specs required to bake the bitstream
- have I mentioned they're expensive?
- they're not cheap

Okay, where do I find a decently large (~1MiB) SRAM chip?

Don't call me a foggot or any thing but is i7 equlent to duel core 2 quard?
Motherfucker. Now I have to sift through over 9k pages of shit code to make sure the chinks didn't backdoor their fork of the linux kernel. And apparently the code is so terrible the kernel devs wouldn't let it enter mainline.
I hate humans.

Is that hyperbole or are serious about the chinese writing 9k pages of code?

I haven't actually computed the amount of code I'd have to audit. I think I'm just going to step back and wait till someone puts some lipstick on the pig so it can hit mainline.
On another note, how come nobody ever wrote any toy OSes for ARM?

Probably because they're either locked down (cell phone/gaming device) or not popular enough. Raspberry Pi's about to change all that (hopefully).

I really hope the Plan 9 ARM port takes off instead of RISC OS.

RPi has a massive and questionable binary blob that has to run before anything else. I'd rather look at {Panda,Beagle,Cubie}board instead.

You'd be surprised, but a lot of them aren't locked down. It's just that documentation is virtually non-existent and there's hundreds of stupid quirks and workarounds for every single fucking device.

Stick it on a chip and call it ``microcode.'' It works for Intel and AMD.

x86 microcode isn't over a megabyte heavy. Also IHBT.

ARM-based R$40-100 pseudo-computers
Unfortunatelly, I live in Uganda and cannot afford to spend so much for so little. x86 still packs more power and power/buck and power/watt.

You might want to be a little less obvious with your trolling.
Intel doesn't bother with anti-ARM propaganda in places like Uganda, so no one who lives there would really believe a bald-faced lie like that.
Killing all Jews would prove that God doesn't exist, because God sworn to protect and help kikes to defeat goyim. So death of Jews proves that no God helps them, meaning there is no God.

Do I look like a Jew? I'm not one, I'm a proud white American.
Are you a Muslim? You look like one, you resentful sandnigger.

Hashem spoke to Moshe, saying, "Speak to Aharon and to his sons, saying: 'This is how you shall bless B'nei Yisroel, saying to them: May Hashem bless you and protect you. May Hashem cause His countenance to shine upon you and favor you. May Hashem lift His face to you, and grant you shalom.' They shall bestow My Name upon B'nei Yisroel, and I will bless them."

Adapteva's Parallella sounds promising. Let's see how many years it takes for their kernel tree to get in mainline. Anyone willing to place bets on whether it will happen before Cubieboard's does?

cubieboard is chink shit, so it'll never hit mainline. i dunno about paralella.
