POWER9 Support in coreboot
summary
Project ports POWER9 to coreboot for Talos II and Talos II Lite, aiming to replace hostboot with coreboot so coreboot handles boot block → rom → ram stages and then launches skiboot as first-stage payload and petitboot/heads as second-stage payload. Collaboration includes 3mdeb, Insurgo Technologies and Raptor Computing Systems. Work begins in September with goal of initial boot block serial output, DDR training and payload handoff. Validation uses a remote testing environment (Orange Pi HAT RTE), automated flash/control, and test suites to prove boots and firmware updates.
