OpenPOWER Foundation yalengeza pulojekiti yatsopano, LibreBMC, yomwe cholinga chake ndi kupanga wowongolera wa BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) wotsegulira ma seva omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito m'malo opangira data. LibreBMC idzapangidwa ngati pulojekiti yolumikizana, momwe makampani monga Google, IBM, Antmicro, Yadro, ndi Raptor Computing Systems alowa kale.
BMC ndi woyang'anira wapadera woikidwa m'maseva, omwe ali ndi CPU yake, kukumbukira, kusungirako ndi malo opangira mavoti a sensa, omwe amapereka mawonekedwe otsika owonetsera ndi kuyang'anira zida za seva. Pogwiritsa ntchito BMC, mosasamala kanthu za makina ogwiritsira ntchito pa seva, mukhoza kuyang'anira momwe masensa amachitira, kuyang'anira mphamvu, firmware ndi ma disks, kukonzekera kuthamangitsidwa kwakutali pa intaneti, kuonetsetsa kuti makina olowera kutali akugwira ntchito, ndi zina zotero.
LibreBMC imapangidwa motsatira mfundo za Open Hardware. Kuphatikiza pazithunzi zotseguka, zolemba zamapangidwe ndi mafotokozedwe, akukonzekera kugwiritsa ntchito zida zotseguka zachitukuko. Makamaka, chimango cha LiteX chimagwiritsidwa ntchito kupanga mabwalo amagetsi a SoC, ndipo phukusi la SymbiFlow limagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga mayankho a FPGA. Bungwe lomaliza lidzatsatira ndondomeko ya DC-SCM, yomwe imatanthawuza zofunikira za ma modules olamulira omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito pazida za seva zopangidwa ndi polojekiti ya Open Compute.
LibreBMC idzakhala ndi purosesa yotengera mamangidwe otseguka a POWER. Zolemba za OpenBMC, zomwe zidapangidwa ndi Facebook ndikusinthidwa kukhala projekiti yolumikizana yomwe idapangidwa motsogozedwa ndi Linux Foundation, idzagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati firmware. Kugwiritsa ntchito OpenBMC kuphatikiza pulojekiti ya LibreBMC kumapangitsa kuti pakhale chinthu chotseguka, kuphatikiza zida zotseguka ndi firmware yotseguka. LibreBMC pakadali pano ili mu gawo la mapangidwe a prototype, omwe akugwiritsidwa ntchito pogwiritsa ntchito Lattice ECP5 ndi Xilinx Artix-7 FPGAs.
