[Skiboot] [PATCH v4 3/4] libflash: blocklevel backend for MBOX flash access

Michael Neuling mikey at neuling.org
Wed Feb 22 20:31:01 AEDT 2017


From: Cyril Bur <cyril.bur at au1.ibm.com>

The use MBOX protocol to request flash access from the BMC.  Then
read/write to the 'flash' through windows it creates on LPC FW space.

Reference implementation of the mbox flash daemon for BMC userspace:
  https://github.com/cyrilbur-ibm/mboxbridge
