MNT Reform QCS6490 Module

MNT Reform compatible open Hardware processor module

This project develop an open source hardware processor module for the MNT Reform open hardware laptop series, based on a System on Chip designed and optimized for industrial IoT use cases, which is meanwhile decently supported on mainline Linux. The module is aimed at providing a competitive and more performant option/upgrade for OSHW laptops, but may also be used in tablets and phones (as well as other cases where soldering is not an option). This creates an option for consumers to obtain a laptop they can inspect from top to bottom as well as tinker with. By expanding the options for open hardware processor modules and lowering the cost, this project will enable more people to switch over to a fully transparent OSHW device.
