This conference talk features Jose Marinho from Arm LTD and Marvin Drees from 9elements Cyber Security discussing their collaborative prototype of OpenBMC for Arm Neoverse. Discover how Arm and 9elements created a groundbreaking solution to address the increasing demands on data center manageability. Learn about the implementation of modern protocols and industry standards that enable next-generation server management. The presentation explores the critical role of Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) and interfaces like Redfish-IPMI in server management. See how OpenBMC on Arm Virtual Platform (FVP) serves as a blueprint for Arm servers with interoperability and advanced features. Understand the Server Base Manageability Requirements (SBMR) that standardize BMC capabilities and allow compliant hardware/software to work together seamlessly. The talk covers how SBMR builds on standards from DMTF and OCP while adding Arm-specific requirements, and explains Arm's SBMR Architecture Compliance Suite (SBMR-ACS) for testing compliance. Explore the prototype's use of PLDM over MCTP for endpoint discovery and sensor data monitoring, highlighting the potential for advanced, scalable server management solutions on the Arm architecture.
