S.v. N.SönmezAMD, AGESA'ya veda ediyor! OpenSIL, MSI PRO B850-P üzerinde ilk masaüstü testlerinden geçti. Donanım dünyasında yeni bir sayfa açılıyor!
yawnboxtech funding question, on behalf of @emeraldonion
@nlnet funded @Dasharo and @3mdeb (project: https://nlnet.nl/project/Coreboot-Phoenix/) to port @coreboot and #OpenSIL to the Gigabyte MZ33-AR1 motherboard
following a talk at @fosdem "Open source firmware for high assurance confidential infrastructure" (video: https://video.fosdem.org/2026/ud6215/LKWQL7-open_source_firmware_for_high_assurance_confidential_infrastructure.mp4 (mp4 file)), @alexhaydock and I are excited to use this exact hardware and firmware combination to test and publish more about our Stateless Relays project (EO blog post: https://blog.emeraldonion.org/evolving-our-tor-relay-security-architecture) instead of using an older/cheaper/more proprietary system, in partnership with @torproject and @0n_odv.
given that, in 2026, building a brand new AMD Epyc 9005 server system (target 64 cores, 12x 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB sticks of DDR5-6400 RDIMM) will run upwards of $25,000 for a single system, we need financial grants to cover the cost for the long-term betterment of the Tor network and any other privacy infrastructure operations.
who might fund this 100% volunteer, 100% donation-based project?
DasharoFirmware engineer Michał Żygowski shared his experience porting the Gigabyte MZ33-AR1 to #coreboot, detailing the technical process of enabling #AMD server processor support and integrating AMD #OpenSIL. The talk highlights the challenges of adapting a proprietary server platform to open firmware and the steps needed to achieve a successful UEFI payload boot.
Thomas Svensson 🖖AMD has already released its first #openSIL #BIOS for one of their CPU architectures, specifically #Zen4:
This is quite big, as it means they are replacing its #ClosedSource AGESA with an #OpenSource BIOS.
And it will be the future for newer Zen's too.

Building Open Firmware for Open Platforms openSIL & The Road to Full Silicon Transparency
Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬#AMD On Track With #openSIL For #Zen6 Platforms, openSIL FAS 1.0 Published
AMD continues investing in #opensource #firmware for greater trust and transparency. With the hyperscalers it can mean easier customization as well as faster integration and all around a growing industry interest in open-source firmware by the #hyperscalers like those involved with #OCP.

In addition to talking up the openSFI firmware collaboration between AMD and Intel at the OCP Global Summit 2025, AMD engineer Raj Kapoor provided a status update on the company's much anticipated openSIL effort for working to ultimately replace AGESA with a new open-source CPU silicon initialization codebase.

Kai Wasserbäch@ct_Magazin Wäre echt super, wenn mehr Hardware-Hersteller https://www.coreboot.org/ unterstützen würden. Zumindest im Serverbereich gibt es da mit #openSIL von #AMD schon etwas Bewegung, siehe https://heise.de/-9189100 und https://github.com/openSIL/openSIL#readme
James House-Lantto (He/Him)AMD is revealing the first bits of code today, in it's transition from AGESa to the open-source OpenSIL platform for firmware
Maxi 12x 💉Ich blick’s nicht ganz. Sie lassen ein neues #Agesa schreiben, aber diesmal in OSS, was ist dann mit den ganzen proprietären Elementen darin, können die auf einmal dann doch OSS sein, hä?

➤ AMD openSIL: Proof-of-Concept (POC)
✤ https://github.com/openSIL/openSIL
AMD openSIL是一個開源的C庫集合，可直接編譯源代碼或與靜態庫鏈接，並可集成到x86主機固件中。它由三個靜態鏈接庫組成，可在編譯/鏈接時靜態鏈接到主機固件中。AMD openSIL的源代碼位於xSIM、xPRF和xUSL下。AMD openSIL的開源項目路線圖：僅評估階段（不支持生產實現）：內部POC（完成）、AMD openSIL POC開源供AMD 4th Gen EPYC™基於CRB的評估（完成：此源代碼）、POC openSIL POC開源，趨勢Q4 2024。生產階段：AMD openSIL POR with UEFI Host FW趨勢2026。
+ 這是一個很好的開源項目，對於開發人員來說非常有用。
+ 這個項目的路線圖看起來很有前途，期待未來的發展。
