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

Usually, the first stage is tiny and it is burned onto the SoC's ROM. Its purpose is to initialize the SD card (and/or NAND flash) and read the second stage from it. Since it's not user-replaceable and does not cause security or privacy issues, it is kosher even by GNU standards.
