Hello every one !
I am learning how to customize Linux kernel to make it portable on embedded
systems. To test my customized kernel , i want a completely open sourced
ARM board . I listened about Raspberry pi but it's firmware "start.elf" is
not open source. So can anybody tell me the name of the ARM board which is
completely open sourced ? And can there exists any such board whose
ROM/AVRAM contents can also be replaced ?
Thank you !

Beagleboard/Beaglebone come to my mind. There must be other such
boards too. Google is your friend.

Not sure if Beagle variants allow that. Have only slightly worked on BeagleBone.

There is a board called Chumby One based on iMX 233. I don't think u can
modify the ROM. But it has some fusebits , which u can set to configure it.

www.acmesystems.it makes boards that are supported by mainline kernel. No
need to find any patches or some company's fork.
I choose this board for this reason... At the time I made my purchase
the beagle board code wasn't in the mainline kernel and I didn't want
to depend on TI to provide me with new kernel code.
