The ``tacoma-bmc`` machine was a board including an AST2600 SoC based
BMC and a witherspoon like OpenPOWER system. It was used for bring up
of the AST2600 SoC in labs. It can be easily replaced by the
``rainier-bmc`` machine which is a real product.

This machine was removed because it was unused. Alternative AST2500 based

Aspeed ``tacoma-bmc`` machine (removed in 10.0)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
The ``tacoma-bmc`` machine was removed because it didn't bring much
compared to the ``rainier-bmc`` machine. Also, the ``tacoma-bmc`` was
a board used for bring up of the AST2600 SoC that never left the
labs. It can be easily replaced by the ``rainier-bmc`` machine, which
was the actual final product, or by the ``ast2600-evb`` with some
tweaks.
