OpenBMC port to AST2400 on Piestewa Peak CRB?

Hi Dave,

Facebook has been developing OpenBMC for several Intel host CPU boards 
using AST2400. But not for Piestewa Peak Customer Reference board. As 
Patrick mentioned, "The AST2400 itself is
host-processor agnostic, so it probably wouldn't be much trouble to get 
it running on that board."

Facebook OpenBMC repo is at http://github.com/facebook/openbmc. We are 
working with IBM team to have common Linux kernel and u-boot.

Thx,
Tian
