Aspeed BMCs using KCS?

Aspeed BMCs using KCS?

Patrick et al;

As you may know, my team is working on enabling lots of stuff with Qemu and
we dont' have any platforms using KCS with aspeed.  However, we wanted to
enable this testing because we have other KCS configurations.  I wanted to
ask if you have an openbmc image that uses aspeed kcs?

Thanks,
Patrick

I thought most x86 machines use KCS, but certainly Tiogapass does.

meta-facebook/conf/machine/include/facebook-withhost.inc:PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/obmc-host-ipmi-hw ?= "phosphor-ipmi-kcs"

A default build of Tiogapass should get you something that attempts to use the
KCS interface.

Yeah - I feel like with most Aspeed set-ups people use BT.  At least all
the ones I've touched.
