I have done a few builds of firmware for the Raptor Blackbird since I got mine, each of them based on upstream op-build plus a few patches. The previous one was Yet another near-upstream Raptor Blackbird firmware build<\/a> that I built a couple of months ago. This new build is based off the release candidate of op-build v2.5.

There’s two differences from upstream op-build: my pull request to op-build<\/a>, and the fixing of the (old) buildroot so that it’ll build on Fedora 32<\/a>. From discussions on the openpower-firmware mailing list<\/a>, it seems that one hopeful thing is to have all the Blackbird support merged in before the final op-build v2.5 is tagged. The previous op-build release (v2.4) was tagged in July 2019, so we’re about 10 months into what was a 2 month release cycle, so speculating on when that final release will be is somewhat difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
