You're asking for two things:

One is that the hardware specifications be open, allowing free software to be written targeting the device. I don't know how many of these are based on architectures already familiar to GNU/Linux like ARM, but that seems to be a prerequisite.

The other point seems easier to collect: a platform of software with the features and extensibility you speak of.
