Editor implementation for VPD manager This commit implements editor class for VPD manager app. This calss holds responsibility of handling and editing vpd data related requests on behalf of manager app and updating the cache with new data if required. This commit also changes parser class to implement api needed to validate vpd header file in case of write call. Steps to build: meson <build_directory> ninja -C <directory_path> -Tested with sample json and sample vpd file sample command to test busctl call com.ibm.VPD.Manager /com/ibm/VPD/Manager com.ibm.VPD.Manager WriteKeyword sssay <"inventory_path"> <"Record_Name"> <"Keyword_Name"> <no. of bytes to update> <array_of_bytes> Signed-off-by: Sunny Srivastava <sunnsr25@in.ibm.com> Change-Id: I569f03e329b0f62937c6e143a344d8e4ff02db6f
#Overview This repository hosts code for OpenPower and IBM IPZ format VPD parsers. Both OpenPower VPD and IPZ VPD formats are structured binaries that consist of records and keywords. A record is a collection of multiple keywords. More information about the format can be found here.
The repository consists of two distinct applications, which are:
This is a build-time YAML driven application that parses the OpenPower VPD format and uses the YAML configuration (see extra-properties-example.yaml and writefru.yaml) to determine:
The application instance must be passed in the file path to the VPD (this can, for example, be a sysfs path exposed by the EEPROM device driver) and also the D-Bus object path(s) that EEPROM data needs to be published under.
This parser is can be built by passing in the --enable-ibm-parser
configure option. This parser differs from the OpenPower VPD parser in the following ways:
#
and are > 255 bytes in length).Making the application runtime JSON driven allows us to support multiple systems (with different FRU configurations) to be supported in a single code image as well as making the application more flexible for future improvements.
