+# meta-fvp-base
+
+This layer contains a reference implementation of OpenBMC for Armv-A Base RevC AEM FVP.
+
+The image can be used for the following demonstration setup
+where the Base FVP represents the management controller which is communicating
+with the Manageability Control Processor (MCP) over PLDM over MCTP over UART.

+
+## Features
+
+- The MCP exposes a temperature sensor which our image then exposes over redfish
+    - pldmd should automatically pick up this sensor and expose it on dbus
+- The MCP has a PLDM Event which can be retrieved by pldmd upon using ```pldm event``` command from MCP debug console
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Start Base FVP with OpenBMC Image
+    - ```./meta-arm/scripts/runfvp build/fvp/tmp/deploy/images/fvp/obmc-phosphor-image-fvp.fvpconf```
+    - The serial /dev/ttyAMA1 will be automatically configured
+    - pldmd will find ```/usr/share/pldm/host_eid``` which is hardcoded as 18
+    - pldmd will start communicating with the MCP once it's ready
+2. Start Neoverse RD-N2 FVP
+    - Can observe SCP FW logs on MCP debug console
+    - Can enter MCP Debug Prompt by pressing Ctrl+e on MCP debug console
+3. Connect the UART's of MCP to Base FVP with
+   ```socat -x tcp:localhost:6005 tcp:localhost:5065```
+   - The port numbers are just examples, they can be hardcoded in fvp config, otherwise the fvp's will assign them dynamically
+   - ```-x``` tells socat to print the bytes being transferred
+4. Query Redfish Sensor and Event
+   - ```curl --insecure -u root:0penBmc -X GET https://127.0.0.1:4223/redfish/v1/Chassis/PLDM_Device_1/Thermal```
+   - ```curl --insecure -u root:0penBmc -X GET https://127.0.0.1:4223/redfish/v1/Systems/system/LogServices/PldmEvent/Entries/```
+
+## Known Issues
+- Because both FVP are running independently, there can be an issue with timeout.
+  That's why a large timeout was configured for pldmd.
