Yes. Pinebook pro has one or more other blobs and they are for more significant functionality.

Hmmm... I like RK3399-based devices because they need very few blobs. Would you mind to list which blobs the pinebook pro needs?

The imx.8 can't even initialize RAM without blobs. If it comes with a modern WiFi it will need blobs too. Don't know the details about the display, but I don't think it affects all RK3399 devices.
