@Luigi Pannocchi Yes, the AADP supports all versions of Ubuntu.
Yes, https://github.com/bexcran/openbmc is the new location. One tool which can be used to replace MegaRAC with OpenBMC `embedded_reflash` from https://github.com/9elements/embedded_reflash .
@Alex Bennée Sorry but I don't know if I can share the document that ADLINK sent me privately, but it's a standard ARM10 header: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/101416/0100/Hardware-...
@Alex Wang Thanks! I had trouble using a ARM-USB-TINY-H but was able to successfully run OpenOCD, connect GDB and get debugging working with an ARM-USB-OCD-HL.
@Will 💜 I haven't come across any compatibility problems, but I have only tried other Macronix chips (64MB and 128MB).
I've been wondering if the COM-HPC-ALT module or carrier exposes any JTAG/SWD/etc. pins? There's what looks to be debug headers on the module, but I haven't had any success connecting my ARM D-STR...
I released v1.0 of the port of OpenBMC to ADLINK Ampere Altra systems yesterday. The release along with upgrade instructions can be found at https://github.com/bcran/openbmc/releases/tag/v1.0-bexc...
@Marvin Drees I've asked for access to the MMC code in the past and was told it couldn't be provided. Given that, I wonder if it might be possible to get enough information about the hardware and ...
Thanks. It's disappointing because I was hoping I'd be able to configure my OpenBMC build to display the consoles but it appears to be something that's just broken.
@Willy Tarreau The ADLINK firmware images can be built by end users if they have an NDA signed by Ampere which provides access to the SCP and TF-A binary blobs. The AmpereAltra-ATF-SCP repository i...
I was wondering if anyone's had any success using the BMC's SOL feature? If I run `ipmitool -I lanplus -U admin -P admin -H <ip_address> sol activate` I don't get any output when I power on ...
What form factor are you thinking of? I have a 6.4TB NVMe PCIe AIC that I'm successfully using.
@Willy Tarreau I have an idea about your slow boot issue. There's basically a race condition between the BMC and UEFI: UEFI wants to use SSIF to read information about the BMC, but it requires that...
@Willy Tarreau It would be nice if there was an official build with more verbose logging enabled (DEBUG_INFO at least).
@Willy Tarreau If you go down the page far enough, there's a release from July 2022, v2.06.100.00: "Update CRB code to V2.06.100-ampere."
@Willy Tarreau Very helpfully, the EEPROMs on the carrier board are all socketed so you can either use an adapter to flash them in-place, or remove them and flash them outside the case.
@Willy Tarreau @Jiaheng Wang was able to create an adapter to connect from a SPI programmer to the DB40 connector on the module, which might be useful?
@Willy Tarreau The edk2_aadp repo was temporarily removed because they found problems where older hardware revisions could be bricked. They're updating the documentation and will make it visible ag...
@Willy Tarreau Apparently there will be a new MMC release coming soon that fixes being able to boot from the EEPROM on the carrier. From a different thread: > There will also be an update for t...
@Willy Tarreau Yeah, it's very unfortunate. I didn't think 2.09.100 was released yet. I've been running 2.04.100.10 and 2.04.100.11. Maybe a build of 2.09.100 was mistakenly created?
