OpenBMC port to AST2400 on Piestewa Peak CRB?

[Chris Austen]

Hi David, is that something you would be interested in helping to develop?

Hi Dave,

Facebook has been developing OpenBMC for several Intel host CPU boards
using AST2400. But not for Piestewa Peak Customer Reference board. As
Patrick mentioned, "The AST2400 itself is
host-processor agnostic, so it probably wouldn't be much trouble to get it
running on that board."

Facebook OpenBMC repo is at http://github.com/facebook/openbmc. We are
working with IBM team to have common Linux kernel and u-boot.

Thx,
Tian

            Does anybody have plans to port or have already ported OpenBMC
            to the
            AST2400 BMC used on the Intel Piestewa Peak Customer Reference
            Board?

      Currently, the code tree at http://github.com/openbmc/openbmc only
      supports full functionality on Power8 systems.  The AST2400 itself is
      host-processor agnostic, so it probably wouldn't be much trouble to
      get
      it running on that board.  It would be the userspace apps that
      interact
      with the Host that would need work.

      Facebook has a different code stack that does support Intel
      processors.
      I do not know how close any of their systems would be to this
      reference
      board.

      We are wanting to work with anyone who might be interested in
      extending
      our code-base to support non-Power architectures, but it just isn't
      my
      team's focus.  We have been discussing with Facebook on how to get
      parts
      of the code stack common between our two efforts.  Our main areas of
      focus now have been on Linux kernel and u-boot support.

      Cc'd Teddy @ Facebook so he can forward this around over there.
