h1. Librem5

Two early batches (Birch and Chestnut) of Librem 5 are already in the hands of backers and developers. Another batch, Dogwood, is expected in March 2020 and then a mass produced one, Evergreen, in Q2 2020.

|_. Component | Hardware | Comments |

| SoC | iMX8M Quad CPU |  * The non-free DDR4 controller firmware is "handled by a M4 core present in the SoC":https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-solving-the-first-fsf-ryf-hurdle/ and will be on a separate flash chip (so Replicant won't have to redistribute it).

* The bootloader (u-boot + ATF) is going to be fully free and redistributable by Replicant. |

| GPU |  Vivante GC7000Lite | * Supported in mainline Mesa by etnaviv driver. |

| Display | 5.7″ 720x1440 display | |

| Memory | 3GB RAM LPDDR4-3200 | |

| Storage | 32GB eMMC

microSD slot | |

| Wireless | Redpine RS9116 802.11abgn 2.4 Ghz / 5Ghz + Bluetooth 5 & BLE | * Firmware loaded from an on-board flash memory.

* Removable[1] |

| Audio | Wolfson Media WM8962 | |

| Baseband | Gemalto PLS8 or Broadmobi BM818 on replaceable M.2 card | * Single SIM.

* Both modems use QMI and AT.

* Connected via USB and I2S.

* Removable[1] |

| GPS | TESEO LIV3F multiconstellation GNSS receiver | * NMEA over UART |

| Motion sensor | STmicroelectronicts LSM9DS1 | |

| ALS/proximity | Vishay VCNL4040 | |

| Smartcard | 3FF format smart cards | * Early batches use 2FF format card.

TODO: 

* How is it connected? 

* What Android frameworks exist for smartcards? |
