# OpenBMC documentation
This repository contains documentation for OpenBMC as a whole. There may
be component-specific documentation in the repository for each component.
The [features](features.md) document lists the project's major features
with links to more information.
OpenBMC Usage
-------------
These documents describe how to use OpenBMC, including using the programmatic
interfaces to an OpenBMC system.
- [rest-api.md](rest-api.md): Introduction to using the OpenBMC REST API
- [console.md](console.md): Using the host console
- [host-management.md](host-management.md): Performing host management tasks
with OpenBMC
- [code-update](code-update): Updating OpenBMC and host platform firmware
OpenBMC Development
-------------------
These documents contain details on developing OpenBMC code itself
- [cheatsheet.md](cheatsheet.md): Quick reference for some common
development tasks
- [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md): Guidelines for contributing to
OpenBMC
- [kernel-development.md](kernel-development.md): Reference for common
kernel development tasks
- [REST-cheatsheet.md](REST-cheatsheet.md): Quick reference for some common
curl commands usage.
OpenBMC Goals
-------------
The OpenBMC project's aim is to create a highly extensible framework for BMC
software and implement for data-center computer systems.
We have a few high-level objectives:
* The OpenBMC framework must be extensible, easy to learn, and usable in a
variety of programming languages.
* Provide a REST API for external management, and allow for "pluggable"
interfaces for other types of management interactions.
* Provide a remote host console, accessible over the network
* Persist network configuration settable from REST interface and host
* Provide a robust solution for RTC management, exposed to the host.
* Compatible with host firmware implementations for basic IPMI communication
between host and BMC
* Provide a flexible and hierarchical inventory tracking component
* Maintain a sensor database and track thresholds
