AMD openSIL PoC Still Being Worked On For Phoenix SoCs, Turin Code Published


One topic we haven't heard AMD talk too much about publicly this year has been their openSIL effort that was announced back in 2023 as their eventual replacement to AGESA and being an open-source CPU silicon initialization effort

They still appear to be working toward making openSIL production-ready for next-generation Zen 6 platforms but some of their proof-of-concept milestones have been running behind schedule. I had asked some at AMD about it before to no direct answer but then while working on this article after seeing the Phoenix question raised last week, it turned out the Turin PoC was in fact published. That's in contrast to the roadmap documentation on the older Genoa PoC that cited " Phase IV: - AMD openSIL POR with UEFI Host FW trending 2026."
