| Software: User-Facing Environment | Free |
| Software: Operating System | Free Can be used with the mainline Linux kernel |
| Software: Bootloader/Recovery | Free (Unofficial EDK2) Raspberry Pi devices typically load their kernel directly, with minimal
firmware on the CPU (most initialization is done by the GPU). However, a free port of EDK2 (Intel's reference UEFI implementation) is
available, allowing generic Arm-on-UEFI-compatible operating systems to be installed. |
| Firmware: Trusted Execution Environment (e.g. x86 SMM) | Third-party Arm Trusted Firmware available The Raspberry Pi seemingly does not use TF-A or
OP-TEE on its official firmware. EDK2 on the Raspberry Pi 5 requires an unofficial (free) port of Arm Trusted Firmware's TF-A. |
