Thank you for this enlightening message about blobgesa... Luckily AMD was 10 years slow at following Intel's ME example, 10 years since ME first version, and it was not until 2015 that built-in Platform Secure Processors completely took over the AMD's Mobility family ( Kaveri from 2014 still didnt have PSP ) . Desktop family has 2015 Godavari without the PSP. It seems that PSP-blobgesa plague is going from low end to high end direction, and - while it took over the mobility family - desktop high end is still OK, and server family is far from it (so far only low end "seattle" servers are affected)
Hopefully this blobgesa will be open sourced eventually - its not that far from reality because AMD open sourced a lot of stuff during the past months... Also it will be very interesting to see how AMD Zen platforms will behave
Best regards,
