The use of an FPGA adds flexibility and security as well. + +The requirement of a POWERower ISA core will drive the design and open release of a new or improved POWER soft-core. + +The scope of the LibreBMC SIG is the creation of a BMC adapter. +The scope will include an adapter design with an FPGA controller. +The FPGA will consist of a POWERower ISA core(s) that can run the OpenBMC stack (including LSB) and +manage the interface between system-management software and platform hardware. +The FPGA will also have all controls and interfaces required of a typical BMC. + +The LibreBMC adapter will conform be compatible with to the OCP DC-SCM specification. +Any changes to the OCP DC-SCM specification is outside the scope of this workgroup and will be handled through OCP. + +The adapter should meet the requirements to manage a variety of server architectures, +including but not limited to POWERower, ARM, and x86 based systems. +Any changes to system reference designs or specifications to use the adapter are outside the scope of this workgroup. + +The scope of the workgroup will require the use of Linux, OpenBMC, open source tools, interfaces, and components. +Any modifications of these are outside the scope of the workgroup and will be handled through their respective bodies.
