2025 scenario on OpenISA OpenPower Open Hardware computing
summary
Nonprofit volunteer group designs an OpenPOWER motherboard prototype using an NXP T2080 development chip for initial tests, relies on FPGA softcore builds and VM-based Power-architecture images to patch and validate software, and faces supply-chain and firmware complexity across ~2,000 board components. Production moves to preproduction after a funding push; Solid Silicon server silicon and the smaller X1 chip promise wider silicon options next year. Goal is OpenPOWER Ready certification before declaring it finished.
