What are the other of the "very few" embedded SOCs that need no proprietary blobs to run? Mediatek?

Many SOCs are able to run with no blobs, but very few require no blobs while still offering graphics support. Some SOCs with Adreno or Vivante GPUs do however offer open source GPU support.

Re being named Foss while working in Foss: It's a pure coincidence, but has a medieval feel to it. Like Baker, Coppersmith or Eisenhower.
