All,
We have implemented a new, flexible licensing system for our REACTS coreboot test solution. The new licensing model allows you to only pay for what you intend to use, replacing of the old fixed 5-DUT licensing system, thus lowering the barrier to entry to get a REACTS system installed and verifying _your_ hardware.
Since the first announcement of the REACTS, the system has received several feature upgrades, which are provided at no additional cost to holders of a REACTS support contract. The system now supports testing of varying architectures (currently i386, i686-pae, and x86_64), testing of S3 resume path operation, external Flash write, and much more. As always, the core system is also available under the AGPL for those with appropriate existing infrastructure wanting to assemble a test system from scratch.
When you purchase a REACTS license, you are helping us continue to maintain and improve the only publicly available CI hardware testing solution for coreboot. To date REACTS has been instrumental in allowing massive cleanup, refactoring, and overall improvement of the AMD native codebase without fear of causing regression on tested hardware. If you are interested in helping this effort by purchasing a license for a ready-to-run REACTS control system, please visit the REACTS information page at https://www.raptorengineering.com/content/REACTS/intro.html
Thank you!

The only other one besides this one, which has been available without license restrictions and free of charge since 2006:

Thank you for correcting that; I keep forgetting about that system. Do you know why that system never saw any real uptake?
For what it's worth, REACTS is integrated into the Gerrit workflow and the board-status repository, and has additional tests that the older system does not. We are also working on extending the REACTS to support new architectures beyond x86, and Raptor Engineering's REACTS instance has a proven reliability track record spanning over 1 1/2 years of continuous production operation. Finally, we do provide the core files under the AGPL for those with the requisite knowledge and expertise wishing to roll their own system; the licensed REACTS copies are intended for the commercial market where reliability, ease of use, and availability of support are of high importance.
Thanks!
