| 7 | |||
| 8 | 3 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * The hardware is proprietary. |
| 9 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * Some peripherals do require proprietary firmwares to work, some of which have to be loaded by the system: [[GalaxyS3I9300LoadedFirmwares]] |
| 10 | * The bootrom code (which is read-only by definition) is proprietary. |
||
| 11 | 5 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * The bootloader is proprietary and signed. |

| 13 | 5 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | h2. Modem related: |
| 14 | The modem runs non-free software, which is loaded but not shipped by Replicant. |
||
| 15 | * When using flight mode, The main CPU has to ask the modem to power itself off. |
||
| 16 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * The modem is isolated: |
| 17 | ** It doesn't use shared memory with the CPU, instead it uses an "HSIC" bus. |
||
| 18 | 3 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | ** We are not aware of it being able to access the GPS, but it woulnd't be surprising if it still could (by having a direct connection to it). |
| 19 | ** It has no access to the other CPU peripherals. |
