As more positive indications around AMD's [1]OpenSIL effort for open-source CPU silicon initialization to eventually replace AGESA, both AMD and Supermicro are now collaborating with the Open-Source Firmware Foundation. Supermicro has also publicly shown off a platform with OpenSIL+Coreboot and is said to be exploring OpenBMC for future hardware.
The Open-Source Firmware Foundation was [2]established in 2022 by founding members 9elements Cyber Security and Mullvad VPN. [3]LinuxBoot and [4]Coreboot since joined the Open-Source Firmware Foundation (OSFF).
With AMD working more on open-source firmware these days due to customer demand, OpenSIL eventually set to replace AGESA around 2026, [5]their new reference motherboards leveraging OpenBMC , AMD Chromebooks supporting Coreboot per Google requirements, etc, it's the logical next step they join with the Open-Source Firmware Foundation to increase collaborations. The OSFF announced today that both AMD and Supermicro have "aligned" with the Open-Source Firmware Foundation to promote open-source firmware.

At the recent OCP Regional Summit, Supermicro and AMD showed off the Supermicro H13SSL-N with AMD 4th Gen EPYC CPU running atop AMD OpenSIL and using Tianocore and Coreboot/LinuxBoot. Great to see Supermicro already adapting and exploring OpenSIL/Coreboot integration as with the OpenSIL efforts publicly up to this stage it all appeared centered around AMD's reference motherboards.
Supermicro is also said to be exploring [7]OpenBMC use in their future motherboards/servers.
