Dragonbox Pyra is a hybrid sub-notebook/PDA/hand-held game console and optionally a smartphone. The motherboard is divided into 3 subboards to aid in upgrade and hackability (Processors, I/O, and Storage). Not all hardware is considered to be open but the Pyra carries the Free Software Foundation's "Respects Your Freedom" certificate. The SGX GPU is uncertified and does not have open source drives but the Pyra can run with the chip switched off to comply with RYF. An RYF complaint open source 2D driver for the GPU is in the works and a 3D open source driver is considered possible. Replacing the GPU also remains a possibility.
