aspeed: Add Aspeed SDK recipes for U-boot

Start by copying oe-core recipes-bsp/u-boot/ into the Aspeed BSP.  The
uboot recipes in oe-core master currently point to 2019.07 u-boot and
the Aspeed SDK branch being pointed to by this patch is based on uboot
upstream 2019.04.  There weren't any changes in oe-core going from
2019.04 to 2019.07 so thats OK.

After copying the oe-core recipes, fix up SRC_URI, HOMEPAGE, and a
couple other variables to point at the Aspeed u-boot fork.

The current aspeed-master-v2019.04 tip and evb-ast2600_defconfig will produce
a uboot binary but make returns non-zero:

  CFGCHK  u-boot.cfg
   Error: You must add new CONFIG options using Kconfig
   The following new ad-hoc CONFIG options were detected:
   CONFIG_RAM
   Please add these via Kconfig instead. Find a suitable Kconfig
   file and add a 'config' or 'menuconfig' option.
   make: *** [Makefile:1010: all] Error 1

As such the utility of this recipe is limited until the above issue is
addressed.

The Aspeed SDK is intended to be the basis for Aspeed G6 bringup.

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 perl-Thread-Queue perl-bignum perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-Bignum
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.
