# OpenBMC
[](https://openpower.xyz/job/openbmc-build/)
The OpenBMC project can be described as a Linux distribution for embedded
devices that have a BMC; typically, but not limited to, things like servers,
top of rack switches or RAID appliances. The OpenBMC stack uses technologies
such as [Yocto](https://www.yoctoproject.org/),
[OpenEmbedded](https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Main_Page),
[systemd](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/), and
[D-Bus](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/) to allow easy
customization for your server platform.
## Setting up your OpenBMC project
### 1) Prerequisite
- Debian 9
```
sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libsdl1.2-dev texinfo gawk chrpath diffstat
```
### 2) Download the source
```
git clone git@github.com:openbmc/openbmc.git
cd openbmc
```
### 3) Target your hardware
Any build requires an environment variable known as `TEMPLATECONF` to be set
to a hardware target.
You can see all of the known targets with
`find meta-* -name local.conf.sample`. Choose the hardware target and
then move to the next step. Additional examples can be found in the
[OpenBMC Cheatsheet](https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/cheatsheet.md)
Machine | TEMPLATECONF
--------|---------
Talos II | ```meta-rcs/meta-talos/conf```
As an example target Talos II
```
export TEMPLATECONF=meta-rcs/meta-talos/conf
```
### 4) Build
```
. openbmc-env
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
```
Additional details can be found in the [docs](https://github.com/openbmc/docs)
repository.
## Build Validation and Testing
Commits submitted by members of the OpenBMC GitHub community are compiled and
tested via our [Jenkins](https://openpower.xyz/) server. Commits are run
through two levels of testing. At the repository level the makefile `make
check` directive is run. At the system level, the commit is built into a
firmware image and run with an arm-softmmu QEMU model against a barrage of
[CI tests](https://openpower.xyz/job/openbmc-test-qemu-ci/).
Commits submitted by non-members do not automatically proceed through CI
testing. After visual inspection of the commit, a CI run can be manually
performed by the reviewer.
Automated testing against the QEMU model along with supported systems are
performed. The OpenBMC project uses the
[Robot Framework](http://robotframework.org/) for all automation. Our
complete test repository can be found
[here](https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation).
## Submitting Patches
Support of additional hardware and software packages is always welcome.
Please follow the [contributing guidelines](https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
when making a submission. It is expected that contributions contain test
cases.
## Bug Reporting
[Issues](https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues) are managed on
GitHub. It is recommended you search through the issues before opening
a new one.
