@lakota oh, did you just say ... 6? As in: you know it's not gonna be 8?

Lakotaubp

@doniks ? Sorry not sure what you mean

doniks

@lakota the blog post states "i.MX 6". Up until now I always heard: could be i.MX 6 or i.MX 8, still unclear, we'll see, but looks like we should be able to get 8 ...

@doniks OK now I know what you mean. Sorry can't help out on that one, the post is not mine. Just posted a copy here from the news channel to increase and reach the audience as quickly as possible given the intrest shown in this exciting project. Maybe a question for the Q&A this Saturday. Which will be one not to miss.

@doniks A Purism blog says they want to use i.mx 8 and are looking at the i.mx 8m according to vijay in the supergroup. Hope that helps.

Yeah thanks, I've seen that. I am gonna go with vijay and assume a "we don't know yet" seeing this came from purism. And I'm gonna assume that the ubports post might not be super correct on that particular point, or anyway it shouldn't be read as a confirmation, seeing that this isn't the core of the message of the ubports post.

A confirmation one way or the other would be news in itself.

i.MX 6 is not accurate:

Purism: "Tech specs for librem 5 : i.MX 6 or i.MX 8 CPU (we’re already making progress on our roadmap to i.MX 8)" and "*Specifications are subject to change."
https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/
Purism: ""Further work with the i.MX6 showed us that it still uses quite a lot of power so when put under load it would drain a battery quickly, as well as warm up the device."
"Nevertheless, once we realized that the i.MX6 might be too power hungry, the i.MX8 became appealing to us."

https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-progress-report-1/

Accurate information would be: i.MX 6 or i.MX 8 and highlight for all the specifications, "*Specifications are subject to change."
