I had a question about the arm chips used in this project.
The shipping version seems to use Cortex-a53 while the development version seems to use Cortex-a72.
Does anyone know if these chips have Intel Management Engine or AMD PSP type backdoors built into them? I'm looking for hardware that is free of management engines and hardware and software backdoors.
Open hardware doesn't mean anything if the chip is sending your encryption keys and passwords to the NSA (or their Chinese equivalents) over the network.
