The following systems are supported.

Witherspoon, or AC922, is an IBM POWER9 two-socket, 2U Accelerated Compute Server with up to 6 NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. More information can be found here.

In addition to witherspoon, this layer contains additional machine configurations such as swift. The default machine target is witherspoon, so in order to build a different configuration, or to build witherspoon after building a different one, set the MACHINE environment to the desired configuration name (see the conf/machine/ subdirectory for available options):

export MACHINE=machine_configuration_name

Then build:

bitbake obmc-phosphor-image

Example:

export MACHINE=swift
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
bitbake phosphor-logging

export MACHINE=witherspoon
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
