AMI Expands Support to Open-source Ecosystem and Accelerates OpenBMC Adoption

ATLANTA, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AMI^®, a global leader in dynamic firmware, is advancing open firmware innovation by delivering a unified, secure, SLA-backed OpenBMC™ codebase that streamlines development, reduces duplication, and accelerates platform bring-up for hardware vendors. This strategic approach ensures higher quality and reliability for hyperscalers and enterprises deploying open firmware at scale.

As the only vendor offering OCP S.A.F.E. compliant firmware, AMI reinforces its commitment to transparency and control in the open-source community. Both Aptio^® Community Edition (EDK II-based) and MegaRAC^® Community Edition (OpenBMC-based) now meet OCP S.A.F.E. standards, giving developers and integrators greater confidence in open firmware deployments.

AMI continues to collaborate closely with silicon providers, ODMs, and OEMs to ensure broad hardware support across the ecosystem. Through the OCP Marketplace, AMI now offers an expanded portfolio of open-source and commercial solutions, including platform firmware, chiplet technologies, hardware offerings, and professional services.

Significance for the Open-Source Community

• Unifies OpenBMC for OCP: AMI maintains and synchronizes the Linux Foundation OpenBMC codebase with added support for OCP-accepted platforms, ensuring consistency and compatibility, reduces code drift.
• Accelerates ODM success with SLA-backed reliability: By maintaining and supporting a horizontal, unfragmented common OpenBMC codebase, AMI delivers SLA-backed reliability and accelerates time-to-market for ODMs.
• Ensures Trust and Transparency : OCP S.A.F.E. compliance provides a standardized framework that assures open firmware meets rigorous security and reliability benchmarks, reducing risk.
• Accelerates Access to Trusted Solutions : AMI's offerings in the OCP Marketplace provide enterprises and developers with easy access to validated open-source and commercial firmware, hardware, and service; enabling faster deployment, broader hardware compatibility, and seamless integration across modern data center environments. 

"Open source moves fastest when the community shares one reliable foundation. By helping unify OpenBMC and strengthening its security and supply‑chain practices, AMI is making open firmware simpler to adopt, easier to contribute to, and safer to run—at any scale," said Sanjoy Maity, CEO, AMI.

"AMI's enablement of a consistent OpenBMC foundation directly supports OCP's mission and our community to deliver fast TTM Hardware Solutions with open, efficient, and scalable infrastructure.
