AMD already has several open source solutionsone of the most famous is his system to obtain better performance through the image scaling in video games, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (AMD FSR). But AMD keeps moving solutions to open source, the next one will be the AGESA firmware that in the future it will be replaced by OpenSIL. With this change aims to improve one of the weaknesses of AGESA firmware updates, as they are prone to cyberattacks. AMD intends that the new OpenSIL that will replace AGESA be simple, easily scalable, lightweight and open source.
This OpenSIL solution has been proposed as open source and that has been mentioned for the first time for AMD EPYC server processors fourth generation. It seems that, at least the test code for AMD EPYC processors will be available soonunfortunately there are still some years until it is rolled out for AMD Ryzen home-use processors. This change not expected until 2026and from this date it will be carried out a gradual change they have warned about will be a slow process.
With this date for 2026, we may be able to see it by when AMD releases its Zen 6 or Zen 7 kernels. AMD has also warned that not only will OpenSIL be Open Source, but the OpenSIL specification will also beIn this way, it invites manufacturers to participate to improve this specification in the hands of all interested parties.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write at Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the 20+ consoles I own, in addition to the PC.
