Is this any more open source than AOSP? Guessing the SIM5320 doesn't have an open source GSM distro or verified builds.

I don't think that any commercially available GSM modems actually have open-source GSM implementations - SIM5320 isn't an exception, sadly =( So, compared to AOSP, the main difference is that this project is open hardware (excluding the Pi Zero, mainly).

There is one open source baseband firmware for some obsolete TI GSM modem chip from a /long/ time ago. But that's about it.
