code-update.md: Add non-REST instructions to the Host Update Add details on how to perform a host code update without using the REST interfaces, by manually copying the image file to the BMC and performing the activation from the BMC command line. Also describe what a version id is, and how to check the activation is completed. Change-Id: I60f97f3a6430f7f93c388aff51d96a3f3a440217 Signed-off-by: Adriana Kobylak <anoo@us.ibm.com>
This repository contains documentation for OpenBMC as a whole. There may be component-specific documentation in the repository for each component.
These documents describe how to use OpenBMC, including using the programmatic interfaces to an OpenBMC system.

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
