  • Thank you. I have seen the ASM1166 mentioned before as part of such a solution, but the other suggestions were new to me.

    Can you also confirm to me, have I got it right that (some/all? of) the N100 boards has everything included regarding CPU, GPU and RAM, while most other mini-ITX boards come without those? Or did I get that wrong? Sorry for bothering you, but it’s all still a bit confusing to me, and I have an empty Jonsbo N3 case, and some 22TB drives that are longing to move into their house.














  • I’m not the person you’re asking, but I have some evidence to support the case that making it work without proprietary code is a problem. GrapheneOS, a privacy-oriented Android-based smartphone OS, write in their usage guide:

    By default, GrapheneOS has always shipped with baseline support for eSIM, where users can use any eSIMs installed previously on the device. However, in order to manage and add eSIMs, proprietary Google functionality is needed. This is fully disabled by default.

    eSIM support on GrapheneOS doesn’t require any dependency on Google Play, and never shares data to Google Play even when installed.

    Edit: The fact that they haven’t implemented eSIM functionality without using the proprietary Google stuff, indicates to me that it’s either impossible/blocked or simply too hard with practically nothing in return to have been prioritised (yet?)
