We are pleased to announce @SolidSilicon as the silicon vendor for our next generation of high performance, fully owner controlled systems! Built using the open POWER ISA 3.1, these new machines will be direct upgrades for existing POWER9 systems. linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

Come join us at #ocpsummit23 at the @latticesemi booth, #31A! Try a Blackbird #POWER9 secure desktop and see our Kestrel soft BMC solution in action!

The #Blackbird owner-controlled #POWER9 desktop mainboards and systems are now back in stock! Get yours today and take back control of your data! Bundles: raptorcs.com/content/BK1B01/… raptorcs.com/content/BK1B02/… Systems: raptorcs.com/content/BK1SD1/…

Stop by the #OpenPOWER booth at @Supercomputing for a hands-on Kestrel soft BMC and #Blackbird desktop demo, info on how to get free remote access to #POWER9 via the OPF Hub, and more!

Come see the Kestrel #OpenPOWER-based soft BMC in action as the BMC on our #Blackbird #POWER9 systems, using the new ECP5 based Arctic Tern modules! Visit the #Lattice booth at #OCP22 for a hands on demo -- no binary firmware, HDL, or compilers in use anywhere on this stack!

Meet the Arctic Tern BMC development kit! raptorcs.com/content/AT1MB1/… raptorcs.com/content/AT1PC2/… Based on the Lattice ECP5 FPGA and requiring absolutely no proprietary HDL, firmware, or tooling to use, Arctic Tern makes an excellent platform for work on secure #OpenPOWER systems.

The best analogy we have is: could you run all of Bitcoin as it stands today using nothing more than some 486-class computers from 1990 (like these) and some custom accelerator devices that you have zero control over? If not, FPGA won't fix the mess...

In a nutshell: a single control daemon that can persist settings for fan curves, and expose those settings (along with current values) to the rest of OpenBMC. Here's an example of what we *should* be able to do -- would need significant changes throughout OpenBMC & vendor buy-in.

SSH access is not needed any more, just accessing a Web page on the BMC from the other PC. It's getting closer at any rate!
