Both of these questions really point to the BMC's configuration --
what is your recipe configuring?  For instance:

PACKAGECONFIG_append_fakesystem = " aspeed-p2a reboot-update static-bmc"
IPMI_FLASH_BMC_ADDRESS_fakesystem = "0x47FF0000"

Will enable the aspeed-p2a controller, reboot-update and enable the
config-static-bmc.json file.

You can find the list of currently supports options here:
