<html><body><p><font size="2">As you can see there has been a desire for over a year to have it supported. Raspberrypi supported is interesting since it allows for an easy reference board to develop and learn from. It provides other communities to get involved and it presents a very cheap model for test automation. The developers talking on that issue had other systems and timelines that got in the way of providing the community a cheap usable hardware reference.</font><br><br><font size="2">As you yourself discovered, OpenBMC kernel development can be difficult without system level specs. With the Pi you remove the problem. </font><br><br><br><font size="2"><br>Chris Austen<br>POWER Systems Enablement Manager <br>(512) 286-5184 (T/L: 363-5184)</font><br><br><tt><font size="2">Javier Romero <xavinux@gmail.com> wrote on 09/22/2017 01:56:45 PM:<br><br>> From: Javier Romero <xavinux@gmail.com></font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> To: Chris Austen <austenc@us.ibm.com></font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> Cc: openbmc@lists.ozlabs.org</font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> Date: 09/22/2017 01:56 PM</font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> Subject: Re: Porting OpenBMC to Raspberry PI 3.</font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> <br>> Seems that obmc on Raspberry PI is not a primary use case...<br>> <br>> <a href="https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/399">https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/399</a></font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> <br>> Javier Romero</font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> E-mail: xavinux@gmail.com</font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> Skype: xavinux</font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> <br>> 2017-09-22 13:47 GMT-03:00 Javier Romero <xavinux@gmail.com>:</font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> Chris,<br></font></tt><br><tt><font size="2">> Thank you for your answer.
