Summary
Introduced Project Argus, a Datacenter-ready Secure Control Module (DC-SCM) design specification developed in partnership with Lenovo. This design decouples the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and its related components from the main server motherboard, enabling independent development, cost reduction through specialized PCBs, and unified firmware development with OpenBMC. Project Argus adheres to the DC-SCM 2.0 specification and includes contributions to the Open Compute Project (OCP) database.
