Harness the Power of OpenBMC
with a Trusted Partner

Over the course of our collaboration with a key customer, our engineering team has built deep, hands-on expertise in the OpenBMC project - an open-source software stack for Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) used in modern servers, data centers, and embedded systems.

OpenBMC provides a Linux-based, highly configurable firmware platform that enables out-of-band management capabilities for server-class hardware. It offers industry-standard interfaces (such as Redfish and IPMI) and supports modern security practices, modular firmware components, and hardware abstraction for various platform..

Comprehensive OpenBMC Knowledge

We bridge the gaps, mitigate the risks, and deliver a stable platform.

We function as an embedded engineering partner, integrating directly with your team to achieve your goals more efficiently.

Yocto Project Proficiency

We build custom BMC firmware images using the Yocto Project toolchain, tailored for specific hardware platforms.

Mastery of the Full OpenBMC GitHub Project

We have a deep understanding of the entire OpenBMC source tree, its components, and upstream development practices.

Hardware and Emulation

We test images in QEMU for rapid prototyping and deploy to real hardware, including the ASPEED AST2600 chipset.

DMTF Standards Expertise

We have a full working knowledge of the key DMTF specifications that underpin secure, modern BMC communication and management:

MCTP

(Management Component Transport Protocol)

PLDM

(Platform Level Data Model)

SPDM

(Security Protocol and Data Model)

Our experience includes:

  • Implementing a custom SPDM requester from scratch.
  • Enhancing libmctp to add I²C and SPI transport interface support.
  • Building fuzz tests for MCTP, PLDM, and SPDM, including kernel driver test cases for PCIe, I²C, and SPI.

Redfish & BMCWeb Development

  • In-depth understanding of the Redfish API and its implementation within BMCWeb.
  • Development and customization of Redfish-based management interfaces for platform-specific needs.

D-Bus in the OpenBMC Environment

  • Senior-level expertise in D-Bus architecture, service design, and method/property signal handling within OpenBMC.
  • Experience in integrating D-Bus services with other subsystems, ensuring performance and reliability.

Open Source Security & Compliance

  • Full-cycle security vulnerability management for Linux, U-Boot, and related components.
  • Patch integration, CVE tracking, licensing compliance, and SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) creation.
  • Development of Python-based tools for security analysis and automation within the OpenBMC dev environment.

Automated Testing & Validation

  • Expertise in Robot Framework test automation, including longevity and sanity test execution.
  • Advanced debugging of Linux systems - including crash dump analysis, remote debugging, network traffic configuration and monitoring, and bug reproduction.

Security Features & Hardening

  • Implementation of Secure Boot, logging access control, and hardened SSH configurations for production firmware.

Programming Expertise

We have a full working knowledge of the key DMTF specifications that underpin secure, modern BMC communication and management:

C/C++ at a Senior and Expert Engineering Level

With deep familiarity with the newest standard features, especially C++20 / C++23: Concepts for cleaner template programming, ranges library for expressive data manipulation, coroutines for asynchronous programming, and improved standard library utilities for concurrency and pattern matching.

Build System Mastery

Meson, Makefiles, Yocto recipes — ensuring optimal compilation and deployment in embedded environments.

Test-Driven Development (TDD)

Approach adopted throughout our OpenBMC-related work - writing automated unit tests before feature implementation to ensure code reliability, maintainability, and quick defect detection.

Python Scripting and Robot Framework Automation

For test creation, integration, and execution at production scale.

Aspeed AST2600 Evalutaion Board

Hardware Platform Experience

In addition to QEMU-based simulation, we have extensive hands-on work with ASPEED AST2600 evaluation boards.
