[phosphor-state-manager] Error reading HostFirmware condition, error: sd_bus_call: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown

[Jordan Chang]

Hi Sir/Madam,
I am implementing the power control mechanisms for my platform, and
encounter the problem in below:
*phosphor-host-state-manager[341]: Error reading HostFirmware condition,
error: sd_bus_call: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name is
not activatable, service: xyz.openbmc_project.Control.Host path:
/xyz/openbmc_project/control/host0*

I am using the host0-ready gpio pin to determine the HostFirmwareCondition
is running or not. However, the service
*xyz.openbmc_project.State.Host.HostState* could not be established since
the dbus call method of  *xyz.openbmc_project.Control.Host *returns an
error. Therefore, I have printed some debug messages starting with Ufi to
ensure the xyz.openbmc_project.State.HostCondition.Gpio service is involved
in phosphor-host-state-manager. Not sure why the bus call function of
*xyz.openbmc_project.Control.Host
service* failed. Which packages or settings should I configure to enable
this service?  Could someone give me some instructions or suggestions?
Thank you!
