Re: OpenBMC on OCP Leopard server

[Sai Dasari <sdasari@fb.com>]

Hi vejmarie,

AST1250 is in the family of AST2400 and should have basic needed support in OpenBMC and few of the existing platform use AST2400 family for BMC. 

But most of the new platforms have moved on to AST2500 family and is the focus for current developer team. As an example, please refer to facebook's addition of basic machine support for AST2500 based TiogaPass platform few days back @ https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/tree/master/meta-facebook. It adds only basic support and we are working on the userland feature additions at this time,.

Yesterday, Andrew led hackathon @ Open Power Summit in Amsterdam and we went through series of exercises walking through basic environment setup and adding a new machine. The details are @ https://gist.github.com/geissonator
And hope this is useful for your effort also for adding OpenBMC support for Leopard systems.

Thanks,
Sai,.

    Hi,
    
    OCP Leopard servers comes with an ASPeed Chip 1250, and doesn't seems to
    be supported with OpenBMC (I might be totally wrong but I didn't found
    any recipes within the source tree for that platform). So is there any
    specific reasons over perhaps community interest of why this machine is
    not supported ?
    
    A guy involved in the linuxboot development team has created a funny for
    of the project based on u-root called u-bmc which works as a PoC on
    Leopard. The BMC starts in a couple of seconds (I think 8s in that case)
    and is operationnal.
    
    Is there a porting guide somewhere ? I liked to get this machine
    supported on OpenBMC for various reason, and that might be my first try
    with it.
