No, that is not how I read the post. I read it as there were many pieces of non free software in armbian and I would have to identify them myself. Which I am unable to do. Please clerafy if I install armbian stretch on the orange pi one and then run apt purge iozone3 armbian-firmware there will be no piece of non free software on it? How does it boot? Uboot?

I have asked debian to get orange pi one on the list. Orange pi 0 is on the list. Are the 2 computers not almost the same? It is about getting a free software system confer free software foundation on the orange pi one. To my knowledge getting a free software system on an arm computer requires uboot. The more mainboards are able to run a free software system the better. Also if all devices or graphics are not supported. In this case it is also about getting a free software freedombox.org on the computer. Beyond my skills. I asked on the freedombox email list. One person had a try but got discouraged because the orange pi one is not on the https://packages.debian.org/sid/armhf/u-boot-sunxi/filelist list.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/armhf/u-boot-sunxi/filelist Orange pi one is not on the list. Any solutions? Thank you.

Thank you. Obviously those parts can be removed from an installed system at any time. Are you saying I can install armbian and then uninstall non free software from the orange pi one computer and the computer will still work? Is there a script which will uninstall the non free parts or is there a website you can display which tells how to do it? It is about installing freedombox.org on the orange pi one. Note I am not skilled on this matter. I have chosen the orange pi one computer because it is low priced. I want the installation to be a free software installation. https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Hardware/Debian

https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-one/ Is the armbian stretch system a free software system as defined by the free software foundation? Thanks.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/GE-HDMI-to-VGA-Adapter-33588/52162868 https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-one/ Can I connect a vga display to the orange pi one if I utilize a hdmi to vga adapter? The hdmi to vga adapter takes electricity from the hdmi connector. Xenial installed on the orange pi one. Thank you.

Thanks. Will you tell if you installed it on an orange pi one computer?

Libre software refers to the free software foundation's guidelines. Can you make an entirely libre software armbian version work on the orange pi one or other orange pi computers? How good will it work? About the orange pi one which devices will not work if only libre armbian software is installed? Notice this https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bootlin/allwinner-vpu-support-in-the-official-linux-kernel/description If orange pi computers can work using libre software armbian, then how do they boot? Do they use uboot? Thanks.

The armbian orange pi one image is the best image for the computer? There is no better system for the computer? https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-team/freedombox-setup You say, you can install armbian on the orange pi one and then freedombox on top of armbian? Or what does the readme tell?

The freedombox.org is libre software. The software provides a server solution having a list of preinstalled programs. This post is about if the orange pi one can get a libre software version of the freedombox installed on it. The orangepi one is interesting because of its price and performance. What determines if you can install a libre software image on an arm computer? Is it uboot support? Can you install a libre software version of the freedombox on an orange pi one? The freedombox people say, if you can install pure debian on an arm computer, you can install the freedombox too. Can I ask people on this forum about instructions? You may say, why do you not ask on freedombox's email list? Because I think the freedombox people already have a lot to do. About power suppliers, I have seen 2a and 3a mentioned. Can you use a 2a power supply? Thank you.
