However I never created a single tier, but I wish to uninstall it as now it's made all my drives appear as SCSI drives and disk tools such as Crystal Disk Info, and manufacturers SSD tools no longer find the drive(s) and can't work properly. I know the general consensus is you will lose all the data on your drives then. Nevertheless, AMD's decision to adopt openSIL firmware demonstrates their dedication to bolstering security and streamlining solutions.I installed StoreMI in anticipation of using it one day, however I've since then seen the havoc it can wreak when a drive fails in a tier. After 15 years of operation, AMD is preparing to retire AGESA and adopt openSIL as its successor.Īlthough the planned transition is still three years away, unforeseen circumstances may arise that could impact AMD's intentions. AGESA, introduced in 2011, gained prominence through AM4 platforms and Zen architecture-based processors. It remains uncertain whether AMD will continue providing updates for AGESA in the future. AMD aims to gradually introduce openSIL firmware across its entire product lineup, simplifying processes, facilitating scaling, and enhancing overall security. OpenSIL is already compatible with AMD's 4th generation EPYC Genoa processors and is projected to be prepared for integration with Zen 6 or Zen 7 desktop PC processors.

Raj Kapoor, the Head of Firmware Architecture at AMD, stated that this transition will signify the end of an era, with openSIL replacing AGESA across server platforms and other client devices in 2026. This decision stems from concerns over AGESA's vulnerability to cyberattacks.ĪMD Announces OpenSIL as AGESA's Replacement for Enhanced Security and Simplified Scaling by 2026. During the OCP Regional Summit, AMD revealed an unexpected plan to shift from AGESA to the open-source openSIL firmware by 2026.
