AMD Reveals Latest Plans For Open-Source openSIL With Replacing AGESA, Zen 6 Milestone


Last year to much excitement in our community was the new AMD project announcement of openSIL as an open-source CPU silicon initialization project that is an advancement for open-source firmware and to eventually replace AMD's AGESA across both client and server processors

In fact, now they specifically name 6th Gen AMD EPYC "Zen 6" processors as having production-level feature, validation, and QA for openSIL. AMD has been working on 5th Gen EPYC "Turin" support already and anticipate releasing its MIT open-source code before the end of the calendar year. It's also been very refreshing with newer AMD reference boards and even some partner servers running OpenBMC for their BMC software stack.
