My BC-250 Journey (with 40 CUs Unlocked)

The ASRock BC-250 is interesting. Sold as a mining card during the crypto boom of 2021/2022, then killed by Ethereum’s proof-of-work migration, leaving many mining farms out of business with many BC 250s never used or even opened. Dumped as e-waste. With a lot of work (from people who know how to write documentation), the ASRock BC-250 now has full native Linux support. Even better, as AMD got lazy in their binning process, but not fusing off “faulty” cores. Many have been found to be fully unlockable.
