Tioga Pass OpenBMC 2.8

[Bruce Mitchell]

In addition to what Neil has ask I am find this issue with NC-SI:

Yet Ben Wei's OSFC 2019 "NIC Management and Monitoring in OpenBMC" 
leads me to believe that NC-SI should be in my image and functioning.
Has something changed since Ben's paper?

Subject: Tioga Pass OpenBMC 2.8

Greetings fellow BMC folk ? I’m Neil Bradley, Phoenix Technologies’ BMC architect and have a question for the group.

We are attempting to load OpenBMC 2.8 on a Tioga Pass. This is what we did:

mkdir tiogapass
cd tiogapass
git clone https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc.git
cd openbmc
git checkout 35a774200999ac2fca48693c1c169bf99d2f63ea
export TEMPLATECONF=meta-facebook/meta-tiogapass/conf
source openbmc-env
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image

The BMC does boot fully, however there are two major problems we’ve encountered:

1. Host will not power on via the front panel power button
2. BMC Will not obtain or try DHCP even though its set enabled for the primary LAN channel

I have a couple of questions:

1. Was this built/done correctly? In other words, did I do something wrong in this process?
2. Does anyone know the current state of Tioga Pass support in 2.8 or the general health therein?

We’re coming up to speed on this quickly, so apologies if these are stupid questions. And greetings!
