What about the GPU? When will it be open sourced?

That timing is really up to Imagination Technologies and not StarFive.

Ref:

IMG_GPU is NOT OPEN?

Not yet, it is up to Imagination Technologies, and they have just this year publicly expressed that they are committed to Open source. Oh and “GPU will be open-sourced in the future by Imagination”

And:
