True but not for long. When AMD or Google buy out MIPS, there will be a global monopoly on processors. I need to purchase a MIPS as soon as possible! See: "AMD and Google in Race to Buy Out MIPS" http://www.techpowerup.com/164394/AMD-and-Google-in-Race-to-Buy-Out- MIPS.html?cp=2 Tim Schmidt, I think the entire Ben Nanonote is manufactured in China, not just the Ingenic JZ4720 processor. You are correct there is not much documentation from Ingenic. Ingenic has not responded to my two emails. The Qi forum is practically dead. No responses to my posts. There is another open hardware project I just read about today, OpenHardware.org. I will check them out. There are a few SoC without a visual processor serial number. Great news: DreamPlug is one of them. ARM Forum answered: "The ARM CPU itself doesn't have a unique identifier, although someone building an SoC using an ARM CPU could add one at the system level." http://forums.arm.com Yuri at Freescale technical support, support@freescale.com, answered that devices of i.MXS or i.MXL series do not have PSN. http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview. jsp?code=IMXS_FAMILY > On June 29, 2012, Globalscale Technologies answered my question whether the DreamPlug has a visual PSN. Sales@globalscaletechnologies.com wrote: "For our current production, we do not burn device ID in OTP memory, this ID is not visible to the internet." I just Globalscale whether DreamPlug has ARM FreeZone or out of band monitoring. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Version: Hush 3.0 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify wsBcBAEBAgAGBQJP7gqvAAoJEMry4TZLOfxmyDQH/RDO2soFV7r4hYR3M2v3A68g63vm 8w6TTdCiaXo2iTrCxAyAOLkYEpH9UqqMhZTDrnuGcvFrUDmojhq5dJdmWKxjHR87dKYa ymdKdBjCzwazsdINzS/picd9Kvn/3Fyj2wnBc8iC4rqfn6ZuNVZdxwJuZ8Ec10Dh7Q1a Qd5NENCrvZEbyMxfiriw0yOrXvqHCcWBGSmGyBKSkFiHRicDuwFn1Bu3HkEkU8YKnwed /BHiP5zQA66LciSDwEuH3fenLxgPehNTGtOwJ0K+URhDd0sgymNyUkUbMWg5Wh/aZ9VY mNdbqIW3soGm/Bv1Pu73XzeGKWxPKMphJE/BMGehdrw= =5Inm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
