As data centers evolve and incorporate increasingly heterogeneous silicon and platform architectures, secure, scalable, and flexible management solutions are more critical than ever. Our latest release of MegaRAC OneTree addresses these needs by expanding its comprehensive silicon support for a wide range of new and upcoming releases, including:

• Next-generation AMD “Venice” EPYC processor (including dual-node support)
• ASPEED AST2700 A1 DC-SCM (with Intel “Avenue City” [“Birch Stream”] and “Oak Stream” silicon features)
• NVIDIA Galaxy GB300 and CX8aas milestones
• Early enablement for NVIDIA Vera Rubin and roadmap availability
• Discrete GPU support (NVIDIA Blackwell and Rubin platforms)
• Axiado Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU) enablement on NVIDIA GB200
• NXP Semiconductors i.MX 93 support with the same, unfragmented MegaRAC OneTree code base

This new release also adds important developer-centric enhancements to improve and speed development workflows, including:

• A new version of MegaRAC OneTree Development Studio (ODS v3.0) and CLI for streamlined workflows
• PDK framework and API-based sensor framework for faster integration
• A unified kernel for ASPEED AST2600, AST27x0, and Arbel with our software development kit (SDK) v9.08 update

In addition to expanded silicon support and developer enhancements, MegaRAC OneTree also raises the bar for quality, security and compliance with these latest benchmarks:

• 6,175 test cases executed with >95% pass rate – representing a 20% increase in test coverage – and 545 issues resolved with “Fixed Code Change” to deliver significantly improved code quality, stability and performance
• OCP SAFE certification (October 2025) and ISO9001:2015 audit certification (December 2025).
• 97 contributions to the OpenBMC community

With these key advancements in security, stability, interoperability and ease of use, MegaRAC OneTree version 3.0 once again sets a new standard for OpenBMC-based server management for the next generation of data centers.

AI Demand for DRAM Pushing RAS Boundaries

DRAM failures are one of the most common causes of server downtime, notorious for severely impacting system reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS). While the AI era continues to significantly accelerate the demand for DRAM, the increased capacity, speed and density required makes DRAM even more vulnerable.

The Solution: Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Services for BMCs

Since the introduction of DDR5, several new technologies have been introduced to improve the resilience of DRAM modules. To synergize all these innovative technologies and maximize their benefits to data centers, Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Service for BMCs can connect the dots – from error data collection to RAS actions, on-die ECC on DRAM modules to system platform RAS features – and fully leverage their individual contributions.

DDR5 modules are well-trained and optimized for modern server platforms, but a generic OS designed for multiple architectures, platforms and vendors has a limited ability to capture all the details about the DRAM modules installed in a server. In contrast, DRAM RAS services on the BMC are designed specifically for the platform and can intelligently adapt to the optimized configuration of both the DRAM and server platform.

A Powerful, Turn-key Solution for End Users

In this way, these new Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Services – also known as Memory Resilience Technology (MRT) – for BMCs provide a turn-key solution for end users, significantly shortening deployment time. After deployment, end users can get more detailed insights into DRAM errors, spare the memory faults automatically and mitigate the impact of uncorrectable memory errors, to improve data center SLAs.

“Working with AMI to successfully introduce Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Services for the MegaRAC BMC Manageability Solution from AMI is in full alignment with our goal of offering customized solutions to our diverse global customers in the era of full-scale AI. We are excited for the great potential of this new technology to make AI server DRAM modules more reliable and predictable,” commented Haekang Jung, Head of Application Engineering Technology Development, Vice President from SK hynix.

“This has been an important and engaging project for us, and the positive feedback we have received through testing has validated our collective vision for providing Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Services on the BMC, as well as the reliability and performance gains for the industry that we wish to see,” added Eric Chen, Vice President of Giga Computing.

“Driving innovations founded in our firmware expertise that expand the reliability, performance and sustainability of the AI data centers of the future is a core mission at AMI. We are grateful to the opportunity to work with SK hynix and Giga Computing on this important project and are confident that this new development of Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS services for BMCs will have a tremendous impact,” said Anura Bhatia, General Manager, Manageability Firmware Group at AMI.

Next Steps

In the future, AMI and its partners plan to add support for Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Services / MRT into its OpenBMC™-based MegaRAC OneTree™ BMC firmware stack, expand this support to other platforms, and make Vendor-Specific DRAM RAS Services for BMCs contribute to DRAM-optimized configuration.

The post AMI Releases MegaRAC OneTree Version 2.1 – The Premier OpenBMC-Based Solution for Enterprise Server Management appeared first on AMI.

To arrive at its results, Eclypsium took a snapshot of the latest available OpenBMC vendor releases from the main Open BMC GitHub repository, Intel® S2600WF, Dell™ R670csp, Supermicro® X14DBG-AP and MegaRAC OneTree (version 2.0).  They then recorded both the number of open CVEs for each code revision and the related areas where the security issue exists.

While the results show a clear advantage for MegaRAC OneTree, readers should also take note that certain vulnerabilities discovered in the upstream OpenBMC code that were shown as CVEs affecting MegaRAC OneTree have already been mitigated by AMI. Additionally, we continue to apply mitigations directly to the downstream code in the form of updates distributed to customers that will be upstreamed in the next open-source revision. Consequently, the total number of CVEs that are open today is less than what the study from Eclypsium was able to capture.

Eclypsium’s report highlights the importance of leveraging a robust Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) approach with vulnerability management, regular updates, and transparency throughout the supply chain for maintaining a more secure supply chain.
