Servers?

[Jeremy Hansen]

I’ve looked at the list of hardware vendors. I see System76 listed but when I asked System76, they claim it’s not supported.

“Support” I understand, but does it work? Maybe using their System76 firmware?

Any other server vendors I should consider? I know Purism offers servers as well.

Anyone else?

Thank you

Only System76 laptops are ported to coreboot. We do not (and can't) port any of the servers, desktops, or NUCs.

We manufactured small amount of servers based on x11sch-f which the coreboot support done by 9elements. It's currently support the features that most ppl need including TPMv2. CBnT had some issues still though. It's not that hard if any organization try to assemble their own Common Building Blocks x86 server. We used a assembly factory in Shenzhen. Sure you can find similar vendors in other region (Vietnam/Mexico?).

Shawn

I’m really looking for something I can purchase assembled. We already have one of Purism’s hosts. We’re looking for something with a higher core density and overall availability. I know supply issues is a problem for everyone.

Any more info on the hosts you manufactured?

Thanks!

Hi Jeremy,

Both Wiwynn and Prodrive produce servers with coreboot-based firmware that can be bought off the shelf with coreboot on it.

Prodrive sells Coffee Lake based servers where as Wiwynn sells Cooper Lake Scalable (Xeon-SP) based Open Compute Project Servers, so 21-inch servers.

If one of these work for you, or both, I can give you an introduction to the sales rep. of both companies.

Best,
Chris

Some info you might need:

* Xeon E-2186G
* 128 GB ECC UDIMMs
* 500G SSD
* 1U server chassis

Reaching out again. I haven’t had too much luck finding ready to ship servers with coreboot.

Any other leads?

Thanks!
