fn3. From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre>< MoeIcenowy> The Wi-Fi changed to RTL8723CS (this chip also does BT), which needs non-free firmware to be feed</pre>

fn4. From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre>< MoeIcenowy> The GNSS should be also done by EG25-G</pre>

fn5. From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre>< MoeIcenowy> The OV5640 camera doesn't need firmware and its driver is mainlined</pre>

fn6. From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre>The boot order is strictly MicroSD->eMMC, which is set in the A64's boot ROM</pre>

fn7. From #replicant channel on Freenode: <pre>The bootloader (U-Boot SPL + ATF + U-Boot) is free software, all mainlined now (and the downstream dirty U-Boot cannot boot upstream Linux kernel)</pre>
