Not sure what you're referring to. As I state in the article:

>Therefore, it is impossible to ever replace the HDMI blob used by this device. The device could be used without this blob, but you then forego use of the HDMI (or DisplayPort) functionality.

If you use the MNT Reform without the blob you can never use certain features of the device, namely the external HDMI port, so it's not as though the MNT Reform is without flaws. In any case the article is about the i.MX8M, not any specific device.

You explicitly mention the MNT Reform and the Librem 5, which use this chip. I agree that you never say that any given device can't work around this, but that is what I understood from the way this was presented. I was vaguely familiar with the MNT Reform and went looking for that converter chip because I thought they had a solution to this, which they do.

Perhaps if the last bullet point in the article said something about not being able to use HDMI or displayport without a converter chip, it would have been clearer to me.

I've updated the article to clarify this. Thanks for the feedback!
