OpenPOWER™ Foundation

The OpenPOWER™ Foundation is an entity dedicated to making IBM's POWER systems technology available and accessible to members of industry. It exists separate from IBM and primarily handles access to information on and licensing of POWER technology.

For more information please visit the OpenPOWER website. A list of current members can be viewed here.

Vendors

A non-exhaustive list of OpenPOWER-ready systems and vendors follows:

Vendor System CPU Type Fully Owner Controllable
("blob-free")
Commercially Available BMC/FSP Platform
Raptor Computing Systems Talos™ II POWER9 Sforza Yes Yes OpenBMC Talos (nearest reference Romulus)
IBM AC922 POWER9 Monza NO Yes OpenBMC Witherspoon
RackSpace Barreleye G2 POWER9 LaGrange NO No (release planned) OpenBMC Zaius
IBM S822LC POWER8 Turismo NO[1] Yes AMI (OpenBMC does not allow host IPL) Firestone

  1. While source exists for both the open host firmware and OpenBMC, the two do not work together on real hardware as of last test (2016). Debug efforts stalled due to POWER9 ramping up and POWER8 being of less immediate importance. Failures were in the SBE, making debug difficult with the tools available at the time (2016). Some evidence of a serial/LPC bus problem was gathered as well, since the open host firmware would boot on AMI BMC and vice versa.
