Disable launching host-ipmi-hw via systemd

On the QEMU, host-ipmi-hw.py was emulating btbridge.
host-ipmi-hw looks for user inputs from STDIN and when
the user inputs the series of hex bytes for a particular
ipmi netfn/cmd tuple and hits the enter key, it results
in host-ipmi-hw broadcasting the signal that IPMI daemon
would catch and process.

because of how it works, we do not want to launch it via
systemd and hence can be started manually while testing
the IPMI functionality.

host-ipmi-hw was initially written when btbridge was
still being developed as we needed a vehicle to test
the IPMI daemon in the absence of btbridge.

Going forward, we can use 'ipmitool -I dbus' instead of this
python script and if at all we see a need to use this
python script, we can launch this on a need bassis and kill
it than consuming the CPU and memory.

Fixes openbmc/openbmc#409

OpenBMC

Build Status

Building

OpenBMC uses Yocto/Open-Embedded for a build system, which supports an out-of-tree build. It is recommended that you create an empty directory somewhere to hold the build. This directory will get big.

On Ubuntu 14.04 the following packages are required to build the default target

sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libsdl1.2-dev texinfo gawk chrpath diffstat

On Fedora 23 the following packages are required to build the default target:

sudo dnf install -y git patch diffstat texinfo chrpath SDL-devel bitbake
sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

To start a build:

cd <builddir>
. <repodir>/openbmc-env
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
