“AMD's Long-Term Strategy for Open Source Firmware – October 2025 Update”
Martin L Roth, Paul Grimes, PMTS FW Engineer – AMD Server Firmware; Open-Mic TalkAMD remains dedicated to advancing open-source firmware through its innovative contributions to the firmware ecosystem. This presentation provides a comprehensive update on AMD’s long-term open-source firmware strategy, building on the 2024 OSFC presentation, titled "AMD's Long-Term Strategy for Open Source Firmware: From Concept to Implementation". It focuses on the progress of the AMD openSIL project, the transition from AGESA to openSIL, and AMD’s engagement with TianoCore.
Key topics include:
- Progress on openSIL POCs
- Turin and Venice Milestones
- Future plans for open source firmware
AMD aims to stimulate collaboration and innovation in the open source firmware community.
“Tillitis HSM (a buzzword bingo talk)”
Fredrik Stromberg; Open-Mic TalkThis talk will explain how the Tillitis HSM works, and our plans for next year.
Keywords: radically open-source, FPGA-based, measured boot, measured FPGA configuration, TamaGo, Kicad, transparency logs, Sigsum, open source silicon, and GF180mcu.
“What I've learned from writing rocket firmware in Rust”
Maia Herrington; Open-Mic TalkAt Stoke Space Technologies, we are developing fully reusable rockets. However we need software to operate these vehicles! We have chosen to write our whole software and firmware stack in Rust and learned a lot along the way. In this presentation, I will cover what considerations there are for writing firmware for rockets, what I've learned about bare metal Rust development for hard real-time applications, and how we engage with the open source community.
