nostr:npub1d76s7zapvltswuyrayjk9kwey4jqkja0frtkfxkarszf0fykjzwq93897u unfortunately it’s SUPER dependent on the specific hardware and oftentimes the bootloaders are locked down. I believe it’s similar to the state of Android phones where a few with unlockable bootloaders exist, but the vast majority require an exploit if they can be reflashed at all.
This is where I feel like Right to Repair regulation should require reflashability at least after the EOL date, but also I feel like congresspeople would not understand the concept at all…

That said, given the size of some deployments you'd maybe only need one device to be unlocked/exploitable/hardware enabled. If you can get 10k units from one source maybe that's all you need, and it'd be worth the work on the software side 🤔
