[ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'u-boot-default-env']

[Nikhil V]

Hi Patrick,

   

   Thanks for your response, I totally agree with above points. As I have SAMA5D27 lying arround and i wanted to explore/understand openbmc.

   Also i have seen some people have implemented openbmc on beaglebone, raspberry pi, Freescale Processors.

   As no one has tried porting openbmc with Atmel SAM series processor, I thought that i can give it a try to port openbmc on SAMA5D27,

   Any pointer or document will be helpful. 



Thanks & Regards,

Nikhil Muley

I don't have much help on your specific problem, but I think there is some 
surprise in your use of this chip for a few reasons. 
 
 - This isn't really a BMC-oriented chip and is likely missing hardware that 
 a BMC would typically have for interacting with the host processors. 
 
 - The A5 core in this chip is probably slower than the AST2500 (or maybe in 
 the same ballpark) which is already a generation behind. 
 
 - Aspeed has secure boot support also / already. 
 
This isn't to say that you might not be able to get the SAMA5D27 working as a 
BMC-like device for your system, but the fact that nobody else has decided to 
build a server around it would give me a bit of concern if it showed up in a 
system design I was working on.
