To try the OpenBMC port you don't need to solder anything; you just need
to find an ASMB4-iKVM module and program it. Soldering is for if you
want access to the JTAG connector for low-level development (U-Boot
development, mostly).

The ASMB5-iKVM also works from a hardware perspective, but both may be
hard to find as the KGPE-D16 and the Opterons it uses are now out of
production.

I want to try your OpenBMC port. I readed I have to solder the 20 pin
connector.
Pin 1 is the squared shape, isn't it? But which is Pin 1 in the female
connector?
Best regards,

Good to hear. I was going to mention bad CPU but that seemed unlikely;
on this end we always make sure the CPU contacts are shiny before
attempting boot so that could explain the discrepancy.
