mboxd: Depend on xyz.openbmc_project.Control.Host

This is one of the bus names claimed by ipmid, and according to
bea22141ca95 ("Ensure ipmid doesn't start until on dbus") it's the last
to be claimed. Depend on this to ensure our required IPMI services are
available. I've observed a reasonably reliable difference in behaviour
between depending on the canonical service (phosphor-ipmi-host.service)
vs the alias (xyz.openbmc_project.Control.Host.service) in that
setAttention()s from mboxd state changes were propagated as expected in
the latter case but not in the former.

(From meta-phosphor rev: 3b0c37e3e0bf2a6f6e9cca7f4f1e49f4c79cc1e1)

OpenBMC

Build Status

The OpenBMC project can be described as a Linux distribution for embedded devices that have a BMC; typically, but not limited to, things like servers, top of rack switches or RAID appliances. The OpenBMC stack uses technologies such as Yocto, OpenEmbedded, systemd, and D-Bus to allow easy customization for your server platform.

Setting up your OpenBMC project

1) Prerequisite

  • Ubuntu 14.04
sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libsdl1.2-dev texinfo gawk chrpath diffstat
  • Fedora 28
sudo dnf install -y git patch diffstat texinfo chrpath SDL-devel bitbake rpcgen
sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

2) Download the source

git clone git@github.com:openbmc/openbmc.git
cd openbmc

3) Target your hardware

Any build requires an environment variable known as TEMPLATECONF to be set to a hardware target. You can see all of the known targets with find meta-* -name local.conf.sample. Choose the hardware target and then move to the next step. Additional examples can be found in the OpenBMC Cheatsheet

MachineTEMPLATECONF
Palmettometa-ibm/meta-palmetto/conf
Zaiusmeta-ingrasys/meta-zaius/conf
Witherspoonmeta-ibm/meta-witherspoon/conf
Romulusmeta-ibm/meta-romulus/conf

As an example target Palmetto

export TEMPLATECONF=meta-ibm/meta-palmetto/conf

4) Build

. openbmc-env
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image

Additional details can be found in the docs repository.

Build Validation and Testing

Commits submitted by members of the OpenBMC GitHub community are compiled and tested via our Jenkins server. Commits are run through two levels of testing. At the repository level the makefile make check directive is run. At the system level, the commit is built into a firmware image and run with an arm-softmmu QEMU model against a barrage of CI tests.

Commits submitted by non-members do not automatically proceed through CI testing. After visual inspection of the commit, a CI run can be manually performed by the reviewer.

Automated testing against the QEMU model along with supported systems are performed. The OpenBMC project uses the Robot Framework for all automation. Our complete test repository can be found here.

Submitting Patches

Support of additional hardware and software packages is always welcome. Please follow the contributing guidelines when making a submission. It is expected that contributions contain test cases.

Bug Reporting

Issues are managed on GitHub. It is recommended you search through the issues before opening a new one.
