Signed Firmware for Nodes
The Workstation Nodes are programmed with immutable, one-time-programmable keys which are used to verify the signature of the firmware on every boot. Pre-production nodes are not programmed with appropriate keys and so will fail to initialise when the enclosure is running 2025.8.4 or later.
