psutils: Partial AEI Updater class

The AeiUpdater class within the aeiUpdater namespace, responsible for
updating AEI PSU firmware via I2C communication. The code focuses on
executing  various stages of the firmware update process,  ensuring each
step performed and validated correctly. The following partial functions
of the key component of the class:

doUpdate()
This method initiates the firmware update process. It checks and sets
the ISP (In-System Programming) mode using writeIspKey(),
writeIspMode(), and writeIspStatusReset().

writeIspKey()
Unlocks the ISP by writing a specific key to the KEY_REGISTER. Handles
exceptions for any I2C communication errors and logs the failure.

writeIspMode()
Sends a command to enter ISP mode and checks the status register.
Retries on failure, with a maximum retry limit. Checks the status
register to confirm the mode has been set.  Logs any I2C errors
encountered.

writeIspStatusReset()
Resets ISP status register, clearing any existing status flags. Verifies
the reset by reading the status register, retrying as needed. Logs any
I2C errors encountered.

Test:
Tested the function listed in the class on a system with AEI PSU:

- Validated the PSU ISP key was accepted and no error logged.
- Validated an error was logged when I used wrong key.
- Validated the PSU entered to ISP mode by reading back status register
  and confirmed the bit is set.
- Validated the PSU status reset by reading the back status register and
  confirmed the bit is set.

phosphor-power

Overview

This repository contains applications for configuring and monitoring devices that deliver power to the system.

Actively-maintained applications:

  • cold-redundancy: Application that makes power supplies work in Cold Redundancy mode and rotates them at intervals.
  • phosphor-power-sequencer: JSON-driven application that powers the chassis on/off and monitors the power sequencer device.
  • phosphor-power-supply: Next generation power supply monitoring application.
  • phosphor-regulators: JSON-driven application that configures and monitors voltage regulators.
  • tools/power-utils: Power supply utilities.

Legacy applications:

  • power-sequencer: Original power sequencer monitoring application.
  • power-supply: Original power supply monitoring application.

Build

To build all applications in this repository:

  meson setup build
  ninja -C build

To clean the repository and remove all build output:

  rm -rf build

You can specify meson options to customize the build process. For example, you can specify:

  • Which applications to build and install.
  • Application-specific configuration data, such as power sequencer type.
  • Whether to build tests.

Power Supply Monitor and Util JSON config

Several applications in this repository require a PSU JSON config to run. The JSON config file provides information for:

  • Where to access the pmbus attributes
  • Which attribute file in pmbus maps to which property and interface in D-Bus
  • Which kernel device directory is used on which PSU

There is an example psu.json to describe the necessary configurations.

  • inventoryPMBusAccessType defines the pmbus access type, which tells the service which sysfs type to use to read the attributes. The possible values are:

    • Base: The base dir, e.g. /sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069/
    • Hwmon: The hwmon dir, e.g. /sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069/hwmon/hwmonX/
    • Debug: The pmbus debug dir, e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/pmbus/hwmonX/
    • DeviceDebug: The device debug dir, e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/<driver>.<instance>/
    • HwmonDeviceDebug: The hwmon device debug dir, e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/pmbus/hwmonX/cffps1/
  • fruConfigs defines the mapping between the attribute file and the FRU inventory interface and property. The configuration example below indicates that the service will read part_number attribute file from a directory specified by the above pmbus access type, and assign to PartNumber property in xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Decorator.Asset interface.

      "fruConfigs": [
        {
          "propertyName": "PartNumber",
          "fileName": "part_number",
          "interface": "xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Decorator.Asset"
        }
      ]
    
  • psuDevices defines the kernel device dir for each PSU in inventory. The configuration example below indicates that powersupply0's device is located in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069.

      "psuDevices": {
        "/xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/chassis/motherboard/powersupply0" : "/sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069",
      }
