The baseband processor is for devices with cell connections. Something like a Raspberry Pi does not have one.
Apologies, I was thinking of mobile phones as I wrote this comment. You are correct, however I do not trust Broadcom to not bundle spyware with their devices if they can help it
Yes, there are definitely better SBC's that don't use Broadcom chips. Some of the Allwinner boards will boot without any blobs as long as you don't need the GPU.
Could you point me towards them?
The Pine A64, Rock64 & RockPro64 are blob free. The Orange Pi Zero is blob free except for the WiFi.
Thanks
