Gidauniyar OpenPOWER ta sanar da wani sabon aiki, LibreBMC, da nufin ƙirƙirar BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) na buɗe gaba ɗaya don sabobin da ake amfani da su a cibiyoyin bayanai. Za a haɓaka LibreBMC a matsayin aikin haɗin gwiwa, wanda kamfanoni irin su Google, IBM, Antmicro, Yadro, da Raptor Computing Systems suka riga sun shiga.
BMC wani ƙwararren mai sarrafa ne wanda aka shigar a cikin sabobin, wanda ke da nasa CPU, ƙwaƙwalwar ajiya, ajiya da musaya na zaɓe na firikwensin, wanda ke ba da ƙananan ƙirar ƙira don saka idanu da sarrafa kayan aikin uwar garke. Yin amfani da BMC, ba tare da la'akari da tsarin aiki da ke gudana akan uwar garken ba, zaku iya saka idanu kan matsayin na'urori masu auna firikwensin, sarrafa iko, firmware da diski, tsara booting mai nisa akan hanyar sadarwar, tabbatar da aikin na'ura mai ba da hanya tsakanin hanyoyin sadarwa, da sauransu.
An haɓaka LibreBMC daidai da ka'idodin Buɗe Hardware. Baya ga zane-zane na buɗewa, takaddun ƙira da ƙayyadaddun bayanai, an shirya yin amfani da kayan aikin buɗewa don haɓakawa. Musamman, ana amfani da tsarin LiteX don ƙirƙirar da'irori na lantarki na SoC, kuma ana amfani da kunshin SymbiFlow don haɓaka tushen tushen FPGA. Hukumar ta ƙarshe za ta bi ƙayyadaddun ƙayyadaddun DC-SCM, wanda ke bayyana buƙatun na'urori masu sarrafawa da aka yi amfani da su a cikin kayan aikin uwar garken da aikin Buɗaɗɗen Compute ya haɓaka.
LibreBMC za a sanye shi da na'ura mai sarrafawa bisa buɗaɗɗen gine-ginen POWER. Tarin OpenBMC, da zarar Facebook ya haɓaka kuma ya zama aikin haɗin gwiwa da aka haɓaka a ƙarƙashin tushen Linux Foundation, za a yi amfani da shi azaman firmware. Yin amfani da OpenBMC a haɗe tare da aikin LibreBMC zai haifar da samfurin buɗewa gabaɗaya, haɗa kayan aikin buɗewa da buɗaɗɗen firmware. LibreBMC a halin yanzu yana cikin tsarin ƙira, wanda aka aiwatar ta amfani da Lattice ECP5 da Xilinx Artix-7 FPGAs.
