# The OpenPDU project |
||||
|
||||
This repo contains the source code for the main binary of the OpenPDU project. |
||||
|
||||
OpenPDU is an OpenHardware and OpenSource project for a network-connected PDU. |
||||
The goal is to build a modular system than can be used to retrofit an existing 19" rack PDU to a real networked PDU. A secondary goal is the use of commonly available hardware, where possible, at least for the main controller. |
||||
|
||||
## Hardware |
||||
The first iteration will cover the scenario of a retrofit of an existing (rack) power strip. In any case we'll keep separated the system into the following modules: |
||||
|
||||
- DC power supply |
||||
- controller board |
||||
- power board |
||||
|
||||
The power supply will power the controller and the power board, taking the power from the existing power switch (it's uncommon to have a rack power strip without a power button; in this case it's required to add a power button). |
||||
|
||||
The controller board will be a commonly available one (let's say a Raspberry PI 2/3, Orange Pi, ...). The requirements are: |
||||
|
||||
- capable of running linux |
||||
- at least 256mb of RAM |
||||
- ethernet port |
||||
- GPIO/i2c port |
||||
- (40pin connector? some orangepis have only 26) |
