Hello again. Please back this campaign when it starts: https://www.crowdsupply.com/raptorcs/talos
This is brand new hardware that will be manufactured, with libreboot preinstalled. This is a company that is manufacturing a complete desktop/workstation solution using the IBM OpenPOWER architecture. Performance-wise this is equivalent to the latest modern Intel hardware, but with a very important difference: IBM releases the boot firmware as free software! This means that it's possible to integrate support for the hardware into libreboot. This hardware would also be a candidate for FSF Respects Your Freedom certification status. Raptor Engineering (the company behind it) is going to manufacture motherboards with POWER8 CPUs in them, and high-end graphics*. They have this page with more information about the project: https://raptorengineeringinc.com/TALOS/prerelease_info.php -- Leah Rowe Libreboot developer Use free software.
