« on: August 25, 2022, 06:16:15 pm »

Has anyone successfully passed through an AMD Radeon Pro WX7100 to a virtual machine on Talos II and if so, how? I'm looking to set up a VM using the GPU but get screen freezes a few seconds after the login screen appears.

Talos II / Trying to overclock, what is raptor-aggressive

« on: November 19, 2021, 04:17:16 pm »

I am trying to get my dual quad-core CPU's up to 4.2 GHz. Thus far I have run the woferclock script to update the module VPD, but how do I load the tables into the PNOR? There is very little or no documentation on how to get the appropriate files into the firmware or how to generate them. The wiki says something about raptor-aggressive but I can't find it in the firmware source. In addition, how can I restore the old module VPD from backup just in case?

General Discussion / Learning POWER9 assembly

Can anyone recommend some good resources for someone who wants to get into POWER9 assembly programming? I have an old book somewhere about 32-bit PowerPC assembly but don't know how much things have changed since the days of the Power Macintosh G4.

Talos II / Order processing time

« on: October 21, 2021, 06:11:12 pm »

Hello all,

My name is Dave and I am a newcomer to the Talos community. I'm not as much a security freak as I am an exotic hardware enthusiast; I just ordered a Talos II kit with dual quad-core POWER9v2 CPU's and the 8-port SATA controller. Does anyone know how long it generally takes to process such an order these days?

Looking forward to receiving my components so I can start building!
