Greetings!


I am a learner of openbmc, for some reason I do not have a real BMC nor a real server, I run openbmc in qemu. Recentlly I want to learn how BMC communicate with HOST System. But it seems qemu can not emulate this scenario. 
Can someone help tell me:
Is there a mechanism allow me to run openbmc in qemu1 and at the same time run OS in qemu2. And let qemu1 run as the qemu2's BMC hardware and communicate via KCS or BT interface? Like the following sequence:
[qemu1&nbsp; [openbmc&nbsp; [bt-bmc]]]<------LPC--------&gt;|-----system IPC-----|<------LPC--------&gt;[[[ipmi_si]&nbsp; host]&nbsp; qemu2]
And what can I do?
I have seen there is some code in qemu source code:
qemu/hw/ipmi/*
and in linux-5.3 source code:
drivers/char/ipmi/*
Dose this can help mitigate my problem?


Best Regards!

Lui Hongwei;
   Here is how we handled our initial setup for OpenBMC:
1) all of this runs in a single VirtualMachine on a Host System (an Apple
Macbook in my case) - the VM is running an ubuntu 18.04 LTS OS.
2) Within this VM:
a) Build the OpenBMC image for AST2500
b) You will need to rebuild from downloaded source the QEMU version 4.1.0
to run the AST2500.  The "stock" version that is delivered with Ubuntu
18.03 is 2.11, and does not work.   Rebuild this and keep a copy to
re-install as necessary.
c) you will also need to install ipmitool on this system.
3)  In Terminal Window 1:   Use this command to run the image:
qemu-system-arm \
-machine ast2500-evb \
-m 256 \
-nographic \
-drive file=obmc-phosphor-image-evb-ast2500.static.mtd,format=raw,if=mtd \
-net nic \
-net user,hostfwd=:127.0.0.1:2222-:22,hostfwd=:127.0.0.1:2443
-:443,hostfwd=udp:127.0.0.1:2623-:623,hostname=qemu
3) In Terminal Window 2:  You can run the ipmitool to talk to the AST2500
BMC image:
ipmitool -H 127.0.0.1 -I lanplus -p 2623  -U root -P 0penBmc chassis power
status
Chassis Power is off

IPMI "raw" commands also work:
ipmitool -H 127.0.0.1 -I lanplus -p 2623  -U root -P 0penBmc raw 0x00 0x0f
 3c 00 00 00 00

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Stephen Beckwith

I think what Liu was asking about was setting up in-band IPMI between two guests
(e.g. one BMC guest and one host guest). Your description covers network IPMI
between a management client and the BMC guest.

Liu Hongwei: Cédric has done this for Power hosts in the past, I've added him
on To:, hopefully give you some pointers.

(Cédric maintains our ASPEED QEMU models as well as the Power QEMU
models).

Hi, Stephen


Thanks for your help, I have handled how the client like ipmitool to communicate with openbmc via net. As Andrew said my problem is how openbmc communicate with host in qemu environment.
ipmitool<------stage 1 OK-------&gt;openbmc<------stage 2 NOT OK------&gt;host


Best Regards!
Liu Hongwei
