The main issue I'm having is understanding the bare minimum requirements for BMC involvement in Tioga Pass power on.  I've found the recipe fb-powerctrl which sets a couple of GPIOs but beyond that I can't figure out how the BMC is enabling power on.  I'm missing something.

Is this something you can help with?
