A WebSearch surfaced CNX Software coverage (2026-09-17, headline 'with open firmware') saying there is no Git repo or other material yet and that it will likely come after the campaign ends. The maker promises open firmware only; I found no explicit promise of hardware design files. The shop page gives est. shipping as March 2027. No repo is live, so even the firmware openness is unverified; kept at 'closed' rather than inflating. Re-check after the campaign.",
