Openbmc Alternatives

openbmc reviews and mentions

• Hackable Intel and Lenovo hardware went undetected for 5 years

  For unsupported but functional hardware with vulnerable BMCs, it would be helpful to have a toolkit for hardware owners to replace the vulnerable software with OpenBMC, https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc

• What do you guys actually script / automate?
  1 project | /r/sysadmin | 9 Jul 2023

  OpenBMC has some level of SuperMicro support currently.

• Hitting my head against the wall with this server.
  1 project | /r/sysadmin | 6 Jul 2023

  OpenBMC? Yes, if someone coded the support and documented it. Most of the work has been on whitebox targets, if you look. But Dell's BMCs are Aspeed units, just like 95% of everything else, so in theory they probably aren't hard to support if anyone sat down to do it.

• Finding the kernel source for a embedded device
  2 projects | /r/embeddedlinux | 13 Jun 2023

  I have a BMC with almost the same kernel version, probably based on the same distribution : OpenBmc , have a look there see if it matches.

• Server BMCs can need to be rebooted every so often
  5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Jan 2023

  I do development on openbmc (https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc) which is an open source bmc implantation using bitbake, primarily targeted to aspeed, and nuvoton bmc chips.

• User experience of a fresh HPE Proliant DL345 server deployment
  1 project | /r/sysadmin | 21 Oct 2022

  Few of us can do anything about this pain point in the short term, but in the longer term, OpenBMC distributions are going to supplant vendor-locked BMC firmware just like Linux and BSD supplanted AT&T Unix.

• Open Source BMC Solutions
  1 project | /r/sysadmin | 9 Oct 2022

  OpenBMC slightly post-dates the reign of the AST2400. There's openbmc/meta-aspeed/conf/machine/include/ast2400.inc, but the explicit targets in https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/tree/master/meta-aspeed/conf/machine are the 2500 and 2600.

  In doing some additional research, I've come across some open-source BMC solutions. MegaRAC Open Edition and OpenBMC. I am wondering if this is a viable path to correct the bug I have. I tried to find some sort of compatibility indication for the AST2400, but couldn't find anything.

• newbie / stupid question maybe (i'm ops) - motherboard swap on server in data center rack
  1 project | /r/sysadmin | 31 Aug 2022

  OpenBMC supports many of the SuperMicro BMCs.

• Options for replacing BMC firmware with open source alternative?
  1 project | /r/homelab | 18 Feb 2022

  For that specific board, it asrock says it has an ASPEED 2400. Openbmc exists and might work on the 2400 as per https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/3676. The aspeed 2500 is supported and is seems like the 2400 may also work based on a few google hits, but you're going to need to research and compile yourself.
