AMD Continues Preparing openSIL Concept For Phoenix & Turin Processors


One of the AMD software projects we are very bullish on for the future is openSIL for opening up more of the CPU silicon initialization code for what will eventually replace AGESA across all client and server processors that is aiming for production readiness with Zen 6

One of the AMD software projects we are very bullish on for the future is openSIL for opening up more of the CPU silicon initialization code for what will eventually replace AGESA across all client and server processors that is aiming for production readiness with Zen 6. One of the topics I had been wondering about myself had been the Phoenix client SoCs and Turin (EPYC 9005 series) proof-of-concept code given prior presentations on AMD openSIL pegged it for release before the end of the 2024 calendar year. The AMD proof-of-concept releases also tend to be limited to one or two reference motherboards as well so the experimental use of openSIL for Phoenix and Turin is limited as well beyond being a milestone to celebrate for open-source AMD initiatives.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
