@Linux RISC-V is, as far as I know, only a specification. I had a look at SiFive but they only offer have dev boards. I'm looking for actual implentations that I can buy and use to assemble a system.

@NullReference
Yeah I realized that! -
I don't know if anyone on devRant knows even as much as what is stated here, lol: https://quora.com/What-are-the-best...

https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner give it a try it you want, it doesn't remove everything, but it's way better than leaving everything "on"

@Linux Are you like 4 different distros?

@electrineer Thanks for the link, unfortunately the CPUs listed there are all softcore implentations 😥
-
@Giocol Thanks for pointing me to this project. I guess that might be an acceptable (temporary) solution, tough it does bother me that I have to modify such expensive hardware just to disable a feature that shouldn't be there in the first place.

@NullReference I totally see your point, but unluckly I don't think there's a less invasive way to do it. And, as suggest by the repo guide, you can flash the firmware from an external device so that, in case things go wrong, you can roll back to the standard firmware

Hey fellow devRanters,
I'm sure some of you have read about the newest vulnerabilities in Intels Management Engine (ME). I feel like ME and similar "features" are unacceptable backdoors into our systems. Unfortunately Intel and AMD do not offer their customers the option to acquire CPUs that lack these backdoors and make disabling them rather impossible 😒
Thus my question: Do you guys know of any 64-bit "open-source" CPU on the market that is production-ready and suitable for high-traffic web applications? Please note that I don't consider FPGAs to be viable options, since I don't trust Xilinx and Altera either.
