    Lua error in mw.title.lua at line 392: bad argument #2 to 'title.new' (unrecognized namespace name 'Portal'). The OpenBMC project is a Linux Foundation collaborative open-source project that produces an open source implementation of the baseboard management controllers (BMC) firmware stack.[1][2][3] OpenBMC is a Linux distribution for BMCs meant to work across heterogeneous systems that include enterprise, high-performance computing (HPC), telecommunications, and cloud-scale data centers.[3][4]

    History

    [edit | edit source]

    In 2014, four Facebook programmers at a Facebook hackathon event created a prototype open-source BMC firmware stack named OpenBMC.[5] In 2015, IBM collaborated with Rackspace on an open-source BMC firmware stack also named OpenBMC. These projects were similar in name and concept only.[6] In March 2018, OpenBMC became a Linux Foundation project and converged on the IBM stack. Founding organizations of the OpenBMC project are Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Google, and Facebook.[7][3] A technical steering committee was formed to guide the project with representation from the five founding companies. Brad Bishop from IBM was elected chair of the technical steering committee.[8] In April 2019, Arm Holdings joined as the 6th member of the OpenBMC technical steering committee.[9]

    Features

    [edit | edit source]

    OpenBMC uses the Yocto Project as the underlying building and distribution generation framework.[10] The firmware itself is based on U-Boot.[11] OpenBMC uses D-Bus as an inter-process communication (IPC).[12][13] OpenBMC includes a web application for interacting with the firmware stack.[14] OpenBMC added Redfish support for hardware management.[15]
