As more positive indications around AMD's OpenSIL effort for open-source CPU silicon initialization to eventually replace AGESA, both AMD and Supermicro are now collaborating with the Open-Source Firmware Foundation

The Open-Source Firmware Foundation was established in 2022 by founding members 9elements Cyber Security and Mullvad VPN. With AMD working more on open-source firmware these days due to customer demand, OpenSIL eventually set to replace AGESA around 2026, their new reference motherboards leveraging OpenBMC, AMD Chromebooks supporting Coreboot per Google requirements, etc, it's the logical next step they join with the Open-Source Firmware Foundation to increase collaborations. Great to see Supermicro already adapting and exploring OpenSIL/Coreboot integration as with the OpenSIL efforts publicly up to this stage it all appeared centered around AMD's reference motherboards.
