oem-nvidia: Add support for legacy CPER event handling

Add OEM support to handle legacy CPER events using event class 0xFA for
existing NVIDIA platforms.

Prior to DSP0248 V1.3.0, NVIDIA used OEM event class 0xFA to report CPER
events. The spec later standardized CPER events as class 0x07
(PLDM_CPER_EVENT). This change maintains backwards compatibility by
registering handlers for both the legacy 0xFA and the standardized 0x07
event classes.

This ensures continued support for NVIDIA platforms using older firmware
while being compatible with the current PLDM specification.

Tested.

This patch was tested on Nvidia GB200 Platform on Grace CPU Terminus.
The CPER payload was generated in /var/cper

PLDM - Platform Level Data Model

License

Overview

PLDM (Platform Level Data Model) is a key component of the OpenBMC project, providing a standardized data model and message formats for various platform management functionalities. It defines a method to manage, monitor, and control the firmware and hardware of a system.

The OpenBMC PLDM project aims to implement the specifications defined by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), allowing for interoperable management interfaces across different hardware and firmware components.

Features

  • Standardized Messaging: Adheres to the DMTF's PLDM specifications, enabling consistent and interoperable communication between different components.
  • Modularity: Supports multiple PLDM types, including base, FRU,Firmware update, Platform Monitoring and Control, and BIOS Control and Configuration.
  • Extensibility: Easily extendable to support new PLDM types and custom OEM commands.
  • Integration: Seamlessly integrates with other OpenBMC components for comprehensive system management.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To build and run PLDM, you need the following dependencies:

  • Meson
  • Ninja

Alternatively, source an OpenBMC ARM/x86 SDK.

Building

To build the PLDM project, follow these steps:

meson setup build && meson compile -C build

To run unit tests

The simplest way of running the tests is as described by the meson man page:

meson test -C build

Alternatively, tests can be run in the OpenBMC CI docker container using these steps.

To enable pldm verbosity

pldm daemon accepts a command line argument --verbose or --v or -v to enable the daemon to run in verbose mode. It can be done via adding this option to the environment file that pldm service consumes.

echo 'PLDMD_ARGS="--verbose"' > /etc/default/pldmd
systemctl restart pldmd

To disable pldm verbosity

rm /etc/default/pldmd
systemctl restart pldmd
