It should be noted that android has no working (or rather working well) builds. I don't believe Broadcom ever released the 4.0 image for it either. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.186.1.167|24.186.1.167]] ([[User talk:24.186.1.167|talk]]) 01:17, 18 November 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== Open Hardware? ==
Is it completly open hardware or not? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/87.78.74.104|87.78.74.104]] ([[User talk:87.78.74.104|talk]]) 03:34, 2 March 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:No! there are still remnants of the hardware that are and will stay undocumented, (because the RPF doesn't actually own, nor has the right to release, those IP). It has also never been the intention of the RPF that the PI would become "open hardware". But TBH I would never had thought they would have released the documentation of the VideoCore, so who knows.

::Link to yesterday's blog entry ("Earlier today, Broadcom announced the release of full documentation for the VideoCore IV graphics core, and a complete source release of the graphics stack under a 3-clause BSD license."):[http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/6299]
::If you want an open source hardware board roughly comparable to the Paspberry Pi, you might want to look into the Odroid U3 or X2.[http://hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G138733896281][http://hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G135235611947] Of course it is worse than the RP in some ways and better in other ways, so it may not meet your needs.
::Related question; does this page make the licensing for the Raspberry Pi hardware, software, and documentation clear? --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 17:13, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
