The philosophy that spawned this sub-cult of kernel development is fundamentally unsound: https://ariadne.space/2022/01/22/the...ationship-with...

In meaningful terms, open firmware doesn't exist. It makes up an insignificantly small percentage of the firmware code running on hardware today....

Congratulations, your test means nothing because you don't understand what spectre variant 1 is.

Variant one must be patched per-program....

There are _multiple_ standards for the interrupt controller and MMU, and not everyone making linux run on their RISC-V chip implements the same version,...

Shame that there's no actual driver code in any of those 1M lines. It seems it's all been shoved down into 30+ MB of firmware.

That has nothing to do with what I asked. To make up some numbers, if apple only ever ships a 512 GB computer with one 512MB card, then it won't work...

You still need the intel FSP binaries. No they're not in the CPU, that's the ME....

SGX? The thing researchers keep punching new holes in every couple of months?

We just got an article noting how hosts can fuck with VM crypto...

Yes, but is that configuration of sizes one that apple ships in an existing SKU? The thing can't configure for a set of chips that isn't in the firmware...

Ah, another closed-source RISC-V chip.

Has RISC-V made any progress on their fragmentation problem?

So long as nobody can agree...

[Developer12]

As far as I know is does work just fine with larger sizes, HOWEVER you must use a supported config. If there isn't an equivalent configuration in a shipping...

That would probably be quite difficult. The macos kernel driver is quite a bit thicker....

Release? By definition patents can't be disclosed. They are disclosures.

Companies are granted a time-limited monopoly in return for disclosing...

Red the other comments. It is replaceable, but the fact that the controller is in the SoC means the contents are lost.

You can swap it at...
