Seems like the project might be dead. It was based on a controller chip from a company Indilinx [0] that went bankrupt and was sold off to Toshiba.

last commit 5 years ago: https://github.com/openssd/openssd yes, looks dead

Edit: seems like they went from openssd-project.org to openssd.io in 2017, so the github project is the old one. Not sure if there is any new one. Maybe https://github.com/Cosmos-OpenSSD/Cosmos-plus-OpenSSD ?

Yep, that newer repo has a presentation in the doc folder detailing 3 generations of the hardware for research use, they moved to FPGA later: https://github.com/Cosmos-OpenSSD/Cosmos-plus-OpenSSD/blob/m...

There’s a commit in another repo in that org by an account professing to be Sangjin Lee, so either it’s real or a long con.
