Tioga Pass OpenBMC 2.8

[Neil Bradley]

Thanks for the reply, Vijay! The part was programed directly with a dediprog. Hey Bruce, can you post the full boot log of that TP system? Vijay, Bruce (in another thread) did see this on the boot log, but I’ll work to get you the full boot console:

This is the image we used:

We are also wondering about power control. We get an IPMB error whenever we do any power control via IPMI instructions (power button works however) and it looks like it’s talking to the ME. Are you familiar with the ME’s role in power control/status? I couldn’t find any mention of the ME in the Tioga Pass spec, so perhaps I missed it. I’m suspecting that our UEFI image doesn’t have the right ME image to mate up with Tioga Pass.

Thank you!

Hi Neil,
How did you copy image to target, I mean what file name you have copied and what was size.
There is no issue in available image for tiogapass build and it should work seamlessly.

Please share console boot log if you have, do you know what network card you system have.

Regards
-Vijay

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!

-->Neil
