The LibreBMC SIG is a project workgroup whose purpose is to design an open source Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
|
|
based oncompatible with the Open Compute Project (OCP) DC-SCM specification.
|
|
|
|
The goal of the SIG is to design the adapter, based on the POWER ISA processor core,
|
|
and all required interfaces and controls using open source tools in order to contribute to their growth and usability.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of LibreBMC is to create a fully open source BMC design which will enhance the security of server management control
|
|
by being fully open and created with fully open source tooling. The use of an FPGA adds flexibility and security as well.
|
|
|
|
The requirement of a POWER 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 POWER 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 be compatible with 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 POWER, 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.
