Open-Source Success Achieved For Greater Transparency & Security: Running AMD openSIL + Coreboot On EPYC

news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 14:00

Ever since AMD announced openSIL in early 2023 for open-source CPU silicon initialization to eventually replace AGESA and enhance their Coreboot support, I have been eager to try it out. The openSIL code drops to date though have just focused on select reference platforms with only aiming for production status in the Zen 6 timeframe. But thanks to 3mdeb porting openSIL and Coreboot to a Gigabyte server motherboard, it's now possible to try out openSIL+Coreboot right now on Zen 5 hardware.
