Fboss and compute platform #193

Closed ChuTingI closed 1 year ago

ChuTingI commented 2 years ago

Hi all,

I am studying rest-api recently. When I was studying redfish_chassis_helper.py to figure out which fru tool the path /redfish/v1/Chassis/1 use, I found the description about fboss and compute in the function get_fru_info(). I want to know the difference between these two platforms and which is better for ast2600. image

Thank you

"FBOSS" is for our switch platforms and "Compute" is for our more traditional compute / storage platforms. Which one you pick is probably more dependent on what your server purpose is.

Are you building a system working with Meta or are you building your own system? If you're building your own system then looking at https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc is probably more appropriate for your needs.
