<div dir="ltr">Does "With Open Source hardware-accelerated drivers
for Linux OS" mean that we will no longer be tied down to the
closed source emgd driver? Didn't see it in the FAQ, but that
was my biggest gripe with the first board. It made running
another distribution more complicated then just running a
specific kernel version with blobs since you also had to use
libraries linked against a few specific versions of Xorg.<br>

indeed you are correct! the GPU support is in the mainline kernel
and completely open:<br>

everyone,<br>
<br>
The MinnowBoard.org project is thrilled to announce the
newest member of our family - MinnowBoard MAX! We're
unveiling this board at the EE Live! conference this week in
San Jose, CA.<br>
<br>
MinnowBoard MAX is another open hardware embedded board
we've developed to serve the needs of both the professional
developer and hacker/maker community. Based on Intel's new
Atom Bay Trail SoC platform, it offers a new generation of
performance and features, but remains petite in size and
cost.<br>
<br>
Our entry-level SKU will be $99 MSRP, with additional board
configuration options to be made available. All models will
include 64-bit processors, USB 3.0, and Intel HD graphics
with open source accelerated drivers for Linux, to just name
a few of the new features!<br>
<br>
You can find out more on our website:<br>
