AMD is set to provide an update on its long-term strategy for open-source firmware during the Open-Source Firmware Conference (OSFC) from September 3 to 5, 2024, in Bochum, Germany. The focus will be on the OpenSIL project, which aims to replace AGESA in future Ryzen and EPYC platforms. AMD firmware engineer Paul Grimes will present details about the evolution of OpenSIL, including its validation and quality assurance processes, and the expansion of AMD’s involvement in Tianocore. The presentation will cover the integration of OpenSIL features in the AMD EPYC Genoa and Turin platforms, as well as the efforts to validate and upstream OpenSIL and its supporting firmware. AMD has indicated that they expect OpenSIL to be production-ready by around 2026, encompassing both client and server platforms. This conference marks the first time AMD will discuss OpenSIL's implementation on the EPYC Turin (Zen 5) architecture, and attendees are eager to learn about any new roadmap plans that may be revealed.
