I registered with Cavium's support site, but I never got the verification/approval email back from Cavium. Gigabyte's BIOS download page for their ThunderX2 system shows BIOS version of F16, not the latest F25 release. So, for HardenedBSD, we're not getting much more than radio silence. Perhaps I need to exercise a bit more patience. Is there any way to get access to the newer BIOS releases without having to wait for Gigabyte to update their end? Can you talk with Cavium support to get them to accept my registration?
