6 | Freedom issues on the Nexus S (I902x): |
||
7 | * The hardware is proprietary. |
||

||
9 | * The bootrom code (which is read-only by definition) is proprietary. |
||
10 | * The bootloader is proprietary and signed [[NexusSI902xBootloader|bootloader]] |
||
11 | |||
12 | Modem related: |
||
13 | * The modem runs proprietary software. It is loaded but not shipped by Replicant. |
||
14 | ** The modem has shared memory with the main CPU. |
||
15 | ** 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). |
||
16 | ** Even if it has no physical access to the other CPU peripherals, it may be able to maliciously modify the main CPU ram to gain such access. |
