Broadcomm is actually terrible, the Rpi foundation just had an in.
NXP deserves some credit for good board support packages and documentation.
Comment on Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App

Note that this is mostly due to the closed source drivers and nonexistent Linux support for smaller SoCs. Some manufacturers are quite good in that front (e.g. Broadcom/Raspberry Pi, Rockchip), with others you’re lucky if they allow you to use Linux at all, with no GPU drivers (which you often have to pirate the binaries, thanks ARM for making Mali a completely closed source project from its open source origins).

Broadcom is also closed source (I think). I have to use closed source drivers for my broadcom wireless adapter on Linux.

Note that since it’s just an Android app, there is no purpose in selling this e-waste device other than increasing the price, since it does nothing you can’t already do on your phone.
