| €45.00 | 1x Odroid-U3 | David 'dllud' Ludovino | <pre>
12
  He needs it to test the hardware bringup and set-up of the Mali GPU
13
  with the mainline Lima kernel driver. 
14
15
  According to him, people have been reporting some difficulty on the
16
  Galaxy SIII, while things seem to be working ok with ODROID U3.
17
18
  Also, at least one core Lima developer has access to one ODROID U3,
19
  and used it to add support for the Exynos4412 SoC.
20
21
  If he or GrimKriegor who works with him stumble upon many unknowns in
22
  the Galaxy SIII they can use the ODROID for some testing.

| €39.00 | 1x Odroid-U3 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | <pre>
27
  We have now someone IRC who is working to understand if
28
  it's possible to run a fully free bootloader on the Galaxy SIII.
29
30
  Since she knows a lot of people that could help as well, including
31
  people that know how to find bootrom exploits, we have increased a
32
  lot the probability of having a fully free bootloader on the Galaxy
33
  SIII and other devices with the Exynos 4412.
34
35
  There is also an u-boot port for the Galaxy SIII and similar
36
  devices by Simon Shields, which currently depends on a nonfree and
37
  non-redistributable first stage. When he sent that code upstream,
38
  it broke booting on the Odroid U3[1], so the code was not merged.
39
40
  This would allow GNUtoo or other Replicant contributors[2] get the support
41
  for the Galaxy SIII and similar devices merged upstream.

  [2]GNUtoo could also bring it at the FOSDEM and pass it on to someone who
47
   would be interested in doing that work.

h2. Conventions
74
75
Several devices were bought with Replicant's money. 
76
77
They were typically used to do new ports, or to make sure that the new main Replicant developer doing most of the work could continue supporting a given device.
78
79
If GNUtoo's memory is good, one probably has been resold (with the money going to Replicant) because the port was too complicated (graphics were too slow).
80
81
Other devices were donated to the Replicant project and/or individuals working on it. It's not always clear to whom the devices are donated but donors typically donate them to enable to work on them and/or do something useful with them.
82
83
Even if it's not always clear who the device belongs to, at the end of the day it's not very important as the convention is, when meeting other developers that need the device to work on it, to bring and to pass it along there.
84
85
Developers having devices passed to them are typically Replicant developers, but potential other developers were not excluded if they wanted to work on things that were aligned with the goals of Replicant or freedom.
86
87
Here are the known devices where it is unclear if the device belongs to the individual or the Replicant project:
