Ask HN: Are Raspberry Pi devices free of hardware spyware (Intel ME/AMD PSP)?

Are they truly secure devices if booted with the correct OS?

    Remember that the RPi SoC isn't primarily ARM. There's a multistage process to boot the VPU/GPU which in turn runs the ARM as a sort of child.

    Afaik only ARM chips have no ME and PSP. Since ARM is British they should also be infected though. Your best bet is to wait for a EU chip.

    Thats a really good question. My money is on NO.
