We got the Hello World to work perfectly,= thank you for the assistance! How would we now go about doing the exact sa= me thing, but hardware implemented? By that, I mean actually running the ph= osphor state manager modified module on the physical BMC chip? How do we in= stall the OpenBMC sdk? Also, is there a method to read from the computer= 9;s BIOS chip from this modified state manager?

I have a supermicro X9 with ast2400 BMC chip. How w= ould we go about installing it? openBMC onto it? We currently have a fresh = install of Ubuntu LTS on it, and nothing else.

The only AST2400 conf= ig I=E2=80=99m familiar with is our Palmetto.
You could start with that machine and tweak it for yours.
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/blob/master/meta-ibm/meta-palmetto/= conf/machine/palmetto.conf

In terms of the development virtual = machine. I keep running into an issue when trying to wget the sdk.=C2=A0
Specifically, this line:=C2=A0wget https://openpower.xyz/job/openbmc-build-sdk/distro=3D= ubuntu,target=3Dromulus/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/deploy/sdk/oecore-x86_= 64-arm1176jzs-toolchain-nodistro.0.sh
=C2=A0After running t= hat inside the romulus emulator, it runs out of space and won't complet= e the download. Does this mean I need to either increase the storage for th= e romulus, or am I simply installing it in the wrong place, and instead nee= d to wget that into the regular VM?

The SDK is not meant to be downloaded = to the actual OpenBMC
system. I=E2=80= =99t meant to be downloaded to your development system.
You can then use it to build OpenBMC software that you th= en copy
over to your OpenBMC and run.<= /div>

Apologi= es for all the questions, I am doing as much research as I can, and this ma= iling list seems to be the largest wealth of knowledge I have available.

You can do that.
The disk is rather small by default.
If you are using VirtualBox, you may be able to use the vboxfs file system = to
mount the host. That might require adding modules to the kernel.

Maybe. What server do you have?
