+OpenBMC Driver
+=================
+
+https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1634635
+
+This proposal covers the addition of power and management interfaces for
+OpenBMC and the addition of driver to the IPA and PXE driver classes.
+
+Problem description
+===================
+
+Currently IPMI is not fully supported by OpenBMC. Instead, OpenBMC's
+power is controlled through a RESTful interface. As well, the boot device can
+be retrieved and set through this RESTful interface. While IPMI may be
+supported by OpenBMC in the future, the recommended way to interact with it
+will continue to be its `REST API <https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/rest-api.md>`_.
+
+Servers running OpenBMC will require a new interface implementation to control
+its power, another to set the boot device, and a hardware type that use
+has these interfaces supported.
+
+Proposed change
+===============
+
+The addition of an OpenBMCPower() module conforming to base.PowerInterface.
+Login credentials will be specified as openbmc_address, openbmc_username, and
+openbmc_password in the driver_info property of the node.
+
+The addition of an OpenBMCManagement() module conforming to
+base.ManagementInterface which also uses the openbmc_address, openbmc_username,
+and openbmc_password as login credentials.
+
+The module will login to the BMC, issue the proper command, then
+log out of the BMC.
+
+A hardware type, OpenBMCHardware, will be added. This hardware type will have
+OpenBMCPower in it's 'supported_power_interfaces' list. This hardware type
+will also have OpenBMCManagement in it's 'supported_management_interfaces'
+list.
+
+
+Alternatives
+------------
+
+Wait for IPMI functionality to be fully supported by OpenBMC. This would
+allow the pxe_ipmitool and agent_ipmitool drivers to work.
+
+The disadvantage here is that it is not the recommended method of interaction
+with the BMC. As well, it is unknown when IPMI will be fully supported.

+Work Items
+----------
+
+*  Implement a new power interface, OpenBMCPower, conforming
+   to base.PowerInterface.
+*  Implement a new management interface, OpenBMCManagement, conforming
+   to base.ManagementInterface
+*  Add hardware type, OpenBMCHardware, that has these interfaces as supported.
+*  Add documentation detailing usage of interfaces and driver.
+
+
+Dependencies
+============
+
+This feature will only be usable by target hardware that runs OpenBMC.
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+The feature will be tested using the `KVM on POWER OpenStack CI <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/PowerKVM>`_ environment.
+
+The job will run the ironic tempest tests, but no new integration tests will be
+added. The job will test against real hardware initially.
+
+Unit tests will be added as well.
+
+
+Upgrades and Backwards Compatibility
+====================================
+
+None
+
+Documentation Impact
+====================
+
+Documentation will be added describing the new interfaces and how to use them.
