The results are in, and a vast majority of you prefer our open firmware requirements. While this semi-official poll would not significantly influence our long-term goals, it's good to know we are working toward the kind of systems you all want to see.
Thank you to all who voted!

Since this has come up a couple times, we'd like to ask if our hard-line open firmware stance is what you all would like to see, or if the P10 concerns are relegated to specific users. Let us know below!

We have released a firmware update for our Talos II and Blackbird product lines. This update adds new hardware support to the bootloader and fixes a rare checkstop bug on Talos II. Full changelog is available at wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Talos… -- only the PNOR has been updated.

A few more pics! Here's a Noctua NH-U12A fitted directly onto the same #POWER9 bracket. Temps are 10-15 degrees lower than with the stock IBM 3U HSF, with extremely quiet running.

This took much longer than planned, but here's the finished custom mount I made to attach an #EKWB water block to a Talos II #POWER9. All of the original IBM cooler mount had to go, replaced with a custom aluminium bracket that can optionally take a Noctua cooler.

Quick overview on Raptor Computing's Talos II Lite mainboard. This could be the easiest way to get into OpenPower Power9 architecture for hobbyists and enthusiasts alike.

Well if you truly treasure freedom, you can run Mastodon on open and fully auditable hardware @RaptorCompSys Blackbird or Talos II. I can confirm NodeJS, Ruby/RoR and PostgreSQL working perfectly on Linux ppc64le.

@RaptorCompSys @RaptorEng @phoronix Who said that you can't run Darktable 4 with OpenCL acceleration on a free-down-to-the-firmware ppc64 Talos 2 workstation? pastebin.com/qp3nngpA
We couldn't even dream of it if it wasn't for @karolherbst rusticl
