A BMC is a specialized controller embedded in servers. It often comes in the form of a system-on-chip (SoC), with its own CPU, memory, and storage and lots of IO. A BMC connects to sensors to read environmental conditions and to fans to control temperature. It also provides other system management functions, including remote power control, serial over LAN, and monitoring and error logging of the server host CPU and memory. By itself, BMC hardware is a computer system. Compared with modern computer systems, the hardware resources in a BMC are very limited. A slow CPU, less than 32 MB flash as storage, and less than 256 MB RAM are common in BMC hardware. Because of this, OpenBMC is designed as a complete Linux distribution, with flexibility to be customized to support different BMC SoC or boards. The OpenBMC image includes a bootloader (u-boot), a Linux kernel, open source packages, and board-specific packages: - Both the bootloader and the Linux kernel include various hardware drivers for the BMC SoC, including an i2c driver, USB driver, PWM driver, and SPI driver. - The open source packages include common applications such as BusyBox, i2c-tools, lm-sensors, OpenSSH, and Python. - The board-specific packages include initialization scripts and tools for a particular board. For example, it includes a tool to dump asset info from the EEPROM and a fan-controller daemon to control the fan speed based on environment readings.
