I'm surprised there is no mention of the Raptor Talos II, which is designed to be auditable in exactly this fashion.

  I am also perplexed why the Raptor Talos II does not receive more attention in the open hardware/software community. For me it is basically everything I've ever wanted from a libre system.

    Because it costs as much as my car and has been on backorder for a long time?

      Just curious-- what kind of car?

        > Starting at $5,649.00 > Current Status: Backordered For the workstation: https://www.raptorcs.com/content/base/products.html https://www.raptorcs.com/content/base/products.html Fantastic machine, but sadly still 2 or 3 times as much as many people, including me would spend for a workstation.

          The criticism as I understood it was, "I can get a car for that!" To really sting, that criticism should imply a decent run-of-the-mill car, not a clunker. Therefore, I wanted to know the car make/model. Because $6,000 for a decent run-of-the-mill car isn't bad.

          Then yes-- for the same price as that new workstation you can buy a used car with 170,000 miles on it that gets terrible gas mileage and will probably require regular service at luxury part prices.

  One interesting thing about the Raptor devices is this reverse-engineering and reimplementation project for the NIC firmware: https://www.devever.net/~hl/ortega https://www.devever.net/~hl/ortega https://github.com/hlandau/ortega https://github.com/hlandau/ortega https://github.com/meklort/bcm5719-fw https://github.com/meklort/bcm5719-fw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19679640 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19679640
