What is the best open blob SoC available?
What do you mean?
The highest performing SoC on the market with open source code the binaries are built from.
Which binaries do you mean?
Firstly, probably the firmware of the CPU and associated hardware. Then, any specific drivers for ancillary hardware that might be closely integrated with the CPU.
Not even Purism was and to get the Librem 5 entirely closed-source free and it's probably a lot further along than the Fairphone.
AFAIK, there aren't any mobile CPUs with microcode like Intel CPUs.
Rockchip RK3399 is the best you can get from my understanding. The newer Rockchip RK3588 requires a non-free blob for the GPU unfortunately.
Sure, I'm not claiming to be an expert here. Similar things to what an RPI4 firmware image is. Whatever that controls.
