Welcome to Libre-SOC
+
+ We're building a chip. A fast chip. A safe chip. A trusted chip.

-> We're building a chip. A fast chip. A safe chip. A trusted chip.
+ A chip with lots of peripherals. And it's a VPU. And it's a 3D GPU...

-> A chip with lots of peripherals. And a VPU. And a 3D GPU...
+ Oh and here, have the

+
+
+
+
Why should I care?
+
+With Libre-SOC, you can take complex algorithms usually intended for
+power hungry servers with big fat GPUs, and run them on tiny devices
+like smartwatches, cellphones, and pocket drones without changing your
+code at all.
+
+
+
+
Hasn't Somebody Already Done This?
+
+To the best of our knowledge, no. The closest systems would be ARM Cortex
+devices which currently offer mediocre GPU and OpenCL support. Often
+times, it is quite difficult for customers to get their hands on the
+drivers and install them due to their locked down nature. Libre-SOC is
+providing our own Free/Libre drivers. Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Does Open Hardware Really Work?
