…you are. Not wrong, are you, but not strictly correct, depending on "...to run properly" definition https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware has updates 3-months ago

https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware The paragraph 'Does it boot Linux' should answer your questions

…broken due to arm side problems, which could be fixed by just using a different bootloader and the https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware codebase can already boot linux headlessly on both pi2 and pi3, it uses a different arm…

Yes, and some folks are reverse engineering their stuff: https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware/

There is an open bootloader, sadly it needs a non-upstream toolchain: https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware https://github.com/itszor/vc4-toolchain/issues/7

…is libre RPi boot firmware, unfortunately it relies on toolchain support that isn't upstream yet: https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware https://github.com/itszor/vc4-toolchain/issues/7

https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware is a pretty serious attempt at the bootloader (incl. VC4 side). As in they can boot an OS, with some limitations but still.

…don't intend to mainline. So probably RPi will need blobs to boot for the foreseeable future. https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware https://github.com/itszor/vc4-toolchain/issues/7
