The first Raptor tease of 2021

If you're wondering what Raptor has in the works next, it's not a new Condor: it's apparently something a little smaller. The company is teasing a new device for "for anyone interested in FPGA, open HDL, open FPGA tooling, low level IBM OpenPOWER POWER9 initialization, and minimal roots of trust." This doesn't sound like a computer; it may well be a peripheral for the FlexVer connector. If such a device could help improve the currently arduous secure boot procedure, this would be another big step forward in owner control and security.
