kernel: Use new FSI chardev system

The kernel has changed how the character devices are allocated by the
fsi driver. All of the in-tree users of fsi have been updated to use
this new system.

The changes include an optional feature improve the layout of userspace
API. This is controlled by the CONFIG_FSI_NEW_DEV_NODE option, which we
do not set yet.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt (14):
      fsi: sbefifo: Fix inconsistent use of ffdc mutex
      fsi: Add support for device-tree provided chip IDs
      fsi: master-ast-cf: Fix build warnings on 64-bit platforms
      fsi: master-ast-cf: Mask unused bits in RTAG/RCRC
      fsi: master-ast-cf: Rename dump_trace() to avoid name collision
      fsi: Add new central chardev support
      fsi: sbefifo: Convert to use the new chardev
      fsi: scom: Convert to use the new chardev
      fsi: Add cfam char devices
      fsi: Prevent multiple concurrent rescans
      fsi: scom: Fix NULL dereference
      fsi: sbefifo: Bump max command length
      fsi: occ: Convert to use the new chardev
      arm: dts: aspeed: Change how power9 chips are represented on OpenPower

Gustavo A. R. Silva (1):
      fsi: master-ast-cf: Fix memory leak

Joel Stanley (1):
      fsi: sbefifo: Remove unnecessary mutex unlock

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 23
sudo dnf install -y git patch diffstat texinfo chrpath SDL-devel bitbake
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. OpenBMC has placed all known hardware targets in a standard directory structure meta-openbmc-machines/meta-[architecture]/meta-[company]/meta-[target]. You can see all of the known targets with find meta-openbmc-machines -type d -name conf. Choose the hardware target and then move to the next step. Additional examples can be found in the OpenBMC Cheatsheet

Zaiusmeta-openbmc-machines/meta-openpower/meta-ingrasys/meta-zaius/conf
Witherspoonmeta-openbmc-machines/meta-openpower/meta-ibm/meta-witherspoon/conf

As an example target Palmetto

export TEMPLATECONF=meta-openbmc-machines/meta-openpower/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.
