One laptop for the new internet.

Secure, fast, inexpensive, open, robust, upgradeable, and sustainable. All of that.

BPCD - Balthazar Personal Computing Device is a 13.3" upgradable and expandable laptop that is based on a few concepts inspired by EOMA68, but powered by RISC-V processor(s) open architecture that runs on Linux OS with added co-processing power based on FPGA Lattice Diamond - ULX3S.

It contains all the hardware and continuously developing software and firmware features preventing data-theft and any unwanted 3rd party intrusion into the system by default. Its default low-level security layer software based on LUKS , Libreswan and is also envisaged to be GNUnet ready.
