location code: add new item interface to support more connections types

Provide informaiton on different types of physical connections.
Supporting:
 - Slot
 - Embedded

Only supporting these two options since it can be used to cover most
cases.

The location type can be used by the IPMI OEM or Redfish to represent
the physical location of the hardware. A client wrapper client around
IPMI/Redfish can use it along with physical location to determine/build
device path of the hardware.

phosphor-dbus-interfaces

YAML descriptors of standard D-Bus interfaces. The format is described by the sdbusplus binding generation tool sdbus++.

Building

This project can be built with meson. The typical meson workflow is: meson builddir && ninja -C builddir.

The meson files used to handle the YAML files are automatically generated and found under the gen subdirectory. When adding or removing YAML files, this must be regenerated. This can be done with the helper script found in the gen subdirectory: cd gen && ./regenerate-meson.

Configuration

Only the xyz/openbmc_project interfaces are built by default. Other interfaces can be enabled by meson options:

  • com/ibm - -Ddata_com_ibm=true
  • org/open_power - -Ddata_org_open_power=true

Example: meson builddir -Ddata_com_ibm=true && ninja -C builddir
