OpenBMC: Boot your server with Python
summary
OpenBMC replaces proprietary BMC firmware with an embedded Linux stack whose core firmware is written in Python core firmware, exposing device objects over D‑Bus and a REST API and offering an SSH host console instead of IPMI. The project bundles a phosphor user‑space suite, a goal of upstreaming SoC support (about 50% mainline kernel support now, aiming for full support), and a working image for the Open Compute “Barrel A” platform (SU2400‑based) to show adding a new server with only a few Python files.
