Hi Dhanasekar,
Algorithms or Steps for implementing functionalities (SOL, PostCode, ) will be same.

Hi Supreeth,
I am working on SP5 Servers too. SP5 Servers has aspeed 2600 chip and BMC is off the board whereas EthanolX/Daytonax has 2500 and BMC is on the board.
Algorithms or Steps for implementing functionalities (SOL, PostCode, PSU..) will remain the same?.
Thanks,
Dhanasekar

Hi Dhanasekar,
DaytonaX and EthanolX platforms were only OpenBMC PoC with limited functionality.
We are in the process of upstreaming new AMD CRBs with OpenBMC which has all the functionality you mention below.
Public instance of the staging/intermediary repository before upstream is here:
AMDESE/OpenBMC: OpenBMC for Genoa SP5 socket platforms (github.com)<https://github.com/AMDESE/OpenBMC>

Hi Supreeth,
Thanks for the info. We hoped that Daytonax would be upstreamed. Unfortunately, It is not available.
Actually, we need to enable SOL, Post code and PSU features in Daytona. Will we get support for this feature enablement? or Are there any reference implementation available for AMD boards?.
Thanks,
Dhanasekar

Hi Dhanasekar,
It is supported for EPYC Genoa family and beyond at this time.
Daytona uses EPYC Milan family and support is not there in that.

Hi Supreeth Venkatesh,
Does this RAS feature work for the Daytona Platform. i have been working in openBMC development for the Daytonax platform.
If this RAS works for Daytona Platform. I will include it in my project.
Please provide your suggestions.
Thanks,
Dhanasekar

Thank you. Lets collaborate in standardizing some aspects of it.

I have put in a request here:

Please chime in.
