bmc web error info on porting the recipes-phosphor based on meta-evb-ast2500

Tue Apr 28 13:05:06 AEST 2020

Chunhui,

First thanks for your support me. also thanks a lot for Milton. 
Now I Always stuck on the  'update_font_cache'.
the process is description as follows:

(Y: is my samba share directory for my linux=/home/shilaimao/  I changed which based on export TEMPLATECONF=meta-evb/meta-evb-aspeed/meta-evb-ast2500/conf)

1.     1.   Y:\openbmc\meta-evb Folder I added the Y:\openbmc\meta-evb\recipes-phosphor which including :

bmcweb and interfaces directory

2.       2. Y:\openbmc\meta-evb\conf\ layer.conf

(the files' whole contents:)
# We have a conf and classes directory, add to BBPATH

BBPATH .= ":${LAYERDIR}"

This is newly added!

# We have recipes-* directories, add to BBFILES

BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb \

            ${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bbappend"

BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "evb"

BBFILE_PATTERN_evb = ""

3.        3. Y:\openbmc\meta-evb\meta-evb-aspeed

Just copy recipes-phosphor from Y:\openbmc\meta-ibm\meta-romulus

4.       Y:\openbmc\meta-evb\meta-evb-aspeed\meta-evb-ast2500\conf\ layer.conf

Also added the following items 

# We have recipes-* directories, add to BBFILES

BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb \

            ${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bbappend"

4. Then start the build based on the modification:

Only run the
. openbmc-env

bitbake obmc-phosphor-image

and the paring the recipes is ok. But still can not generated the image.

Always stuck on the  'update_font_cache'

would you please help me on this items, the attachment is some detail info on separated build the bmcweb.

Thanks
Steven

Steven,

check the log first to see details.

Looks like you want to do quick test with some openbmc full feature enabled image.  QEMU would help:
https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/5cc3a78afbc453dabf2f9db86dd5092d075e9612/development/dev-environment.md#download-and-start-qemu-session

If your target is to enable these features on EVB board, take Milton's suggestion "making incremental changes".
Take EVB recipe as basis and other platform conf as reference. Port these phosphor features to that platform (EVB).

Please consider adding more whitespace and vertical formatting to  
your replies. 

I'm glad you can build the initial evb image and that it works.

It occurs to me that this is likely to being a pure evb image and  
not a obmc-phosphor image.  Try adding this layer to start getting  
the features.

Please look at the documentation in the openbmc doc repository for  
some additional suggestions on how to start modifing the image. 

https://github.com/openbmc/doc 

I don't remember which tty the evb uses for the console vs romulus.

I've heard of this option but not familar with people using it for  
aspeed debug.

The udev-hwdb image is a database of fixups for usb devices.  I thought  
it was suppressed for Romulus but don't remember.  Also the problem may  
be related to turning on the read-only filesystem feature but again I  
don't remember. 

Again consider making incremental changes.

I tend to do specific low level coding and not the full stack, so I will  
ask you to read and hope others can help with your future questions.
