Hello Shakeeb and Tom,

I don’t see any issues with version for BMC in upstream version as well. Software versions are exposed in bmc updater object rather than version object and see following command yields BMC version

busctl get-property xyz.openbmc_project.Software.BMC.Updater /xyz/openbmc_project/software/1950470f xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Version Version

s "2.9.0-dev-1057-gfe5603705"

Regards

-Vijay

Hello Shakeeb,

Typically there is a D-Bus object for each version and that implements the xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Version interface. /xyz/openbmc_project/software doesn't implement the interface.

busctl tree xyz.openbmc_project.Software.BMC.Updater
└─/xyz
  └─/xyz/openbmc_project
    └─/xyz/openbmc_project/software
├─/xyz/openbmc_project/software/6b6a7c53
      └─/xyz/openbmc_project/software/76174d14

I guess the upstream implementation of this command is broken with the latest version format. We discussed this in the community, work is not done yet. https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/openbmc/2020-August/022598.html

Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply.

But it doesn't seem to work as expected. I'm looking at the witherspoon-bmc on QEMU.

Hey Shakeeb,

The service implementing the xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Version should be running in the case of a normal boot as well. In our systems the service is xyz.openbmc_project.Software.BMC.Updater and the Version property is populated when the BMCState is Ready.

Regards,
Tom

Hi All,

Currently the ipmi handler for "mc info" command depends on the "Version" property on interface xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Version. 

But this is getting populated only on the image update path by phosphor-bmc-code-mgmt.

Shouldn't the version be set on a normal boot as well? Is this a gap in current implementation?

Thanks,

Shakeeb
