Dear OpenBMC,
I’ve been handed the opportunity of building OpenBMC for the Portwell Neptune circuit card. Of course, Portwell is no help whatever.

I am new to OpenBMC. I’ve built Yocto Petalinux machines before. So I have a little knowledge of Yocto. I’ve lots of experience with Linux and embedded systems.

Where would I start?

BTW, I was able to clone the OpenBMC repository and build the phosphor target without error. When I attempt to build meta-portwell/meta-neptune, I get errors early with bitbake. Since the Portwell literature boasts of Facebook OpenBMC, I tried their branch and that failed to build also.

Help!
