It's interesting to see that both "Firefly AIBOX-K3" and "Milk-V Jupiter2" use cores from SpacemiT, a Chinese company. It's even listed as the "Reference stack" that is "Defined together, verified together"!

That’s the question I’m asking. Where is Siemens and Bosch these days… all I see is China is playing to get through EU compliance to ensure more phoning home from Industry 4.0 appliances. Meh.
And no, I’m not American, nor I think Americans can be trusted more these days in the race of global surveillance programs.
But having open, patent free standards is noble. I love the idea.
