This is true only within limits. Purchasing a Palmetto, which is a severely underpowered OpenPOWER system with only one Centaur, costs over $3k USD. Tyan's systems do not come with open source firmware, and the next IBM system up to offer (but not ship with) open firmware is the S822LC, which starts at nearly $7k USD. Raptor Engineering would be willing to free up the Tyan systems under contract, but as we do not use the Tyan systems internally we would not do this work as part of our normal operations. > Although this is the best and last free x86-64 motherboard so IMO > everyone should get one while they still can. > > Heres to hoping POWER-ME is never invented. +1. The best way to ensure it isn't invented is to contact IBM and state the reasons you are considering an OpenPOWER system (open firmware, lack of vendor signatures, etc.). - -- Timothy Pearson Raptor Engineering +1 (415) 727-8645 (direct line) +1 (512) 690-0200 (switchboard) https://www.raptorengineering.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYcaX+AAoJEK+E3vEXDOFb2uwIAJiXKMI/2t7IXTZD7eA0/haZ KnpA0AVawhC6tQXklsc7ojwdIAdQNLVmaAVrDSwmjwCV/ShNoTz2/B26XogsuNWj 8u21gUQAB8jr+3Jkb9Ur39WvsCd4PRwAc9MdiNKN1OxaHeXyRKqH6DTTPDAdj0uG Q/g3V4tt0MUMdnRA2znzcZX1IxJpinNg+MtriF238uK3ZiKDbg+hIRidnSqFWR5K sJnrP6ZVQHVHTlxc0OxVtHBSn3xz2NsbmvkDNcdw25mh5zPtPxLzJFmqqaSdm9Og Lu1q8JBi08hk4shA7LND/Qzou2+FYF8oA752dsyPZvREVlzv6Lj4UZaTS6grYSI= =VNVr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
