Never mind, I was too hasty to explain correctly what I meant ;-)

This platform could get a big boost just by having open-sourced GPU drivers
for example, but that is never going to happen, and the binary drivers are
completely broken and useless.... so no GPU here.

Ah, you have it hooked up the the Pengutronix remote workbench? Cool!
Have a nice trip :-)
