AMD BC-250 Continues Being Improved Under Linux With Patches Now Enabling The PSP

New kernel patches posted this weekend enable the AMD Platform Security Processor (PSP) on the AMD BC-250, a repurposed cryptocurrency-mining board built from a cut-down PlayStation 5 APU with six Zen 2 cores, a 24 CU RDNA2 GPU, and 16GB of GDDR6. The three-patch series modifies the AMD Crypto Co-Processor (CCP) Linux driver so the board's secure processor can handle encryption tasks, continuing a string of community-driven Linux improvements (RADV driver support, AMDGPU adaptation, sensor monitoring). Used BC-250 boards, once around $100, now sell for roughly $200-350 due to rising PC component prices.
