Talos II / Re: Talos II reboots itself

It's pretty simple. You only have to update the BMC and the OpenPOWER firmware, not the FPGA.

I had the same problem some time ago. After a thunderstorm with a lightning strike. I had to re-flash the firmware.
It could also indicate a bad PSU, which happens surprisingly often.

Have you tried another PSU?
You followed this guide already?

To be honest, the MPC74xx was not bad. The only problem was the manufacturing facilities of Motorola/Freescale.

And the MPC86xx was better than the PPC970. It just came a bit too late, unfortunately.
But in the end, Apple got exactly what they paid for.

Me too, actually. I still have an i5-13600KF, 6700, Win11 for gaming, a MBP M1 and a Mac mini (2009) with MacOS Monterey.

I really hope the new motherboard has nvme slots, and maybe more USB ports. SATA would be nice too.

Yes. Also hibernation, faster boot times, and adjusting fan curves without recompiling would be nice.

I see it similarly. However, I could become weak if the new system has certain advantages and is offered at a favorable price. There are a lot of things that could be improved on the current system.

I would say, Power11 is more like early 2026.
Availability of POWER9 was 2018 and Power10 2022.

I guess Solid Silicon has the related blobs of the Power10 reverse engineered. For this reason, they may not sell the CPU as Power10 and call it S1. I honestly don't see any company launching a new CPU in such a short time. The PowerISA 3.1 has only been around since 2020.
