Boot options
------------

The Aspeed machines can be started using the ``-kernel`` and ``-dtb`` options
to load a Linux kernel or from a firmware. Images can be downloaded from the
OpenBMC jenkins :

   https://jenkins.openbmc.org/job/ci-openbmc/lastSuccessfulBuild/

or directly from the OpenBMC GitHub release repository :

   https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/releases

To boot a kernel directly from a Linux build tree:

.. code-block:: bash

  $ qemu-system-arm -M ast2600-evb -nographic \
        -kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage \
        -dtb arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-ast2600-evb.dtb \
        -initrd rootfs.cpio

To boot the machine from the flash image, use an MTD drive :

.. code-block:: bash

  $ qemu-system-arm -M romulus-bmc -nic user \
	-drive file=obmc-phosphor-image-romulus.static.mtd,format=raw,if=mtd -nographic

Options specific to Aspeed machines are :

 * ``execute-in-place`` which emulates the boot from the CE0 flash
   device by using the FMC controller to load the instructions, and
   not simply from RAM. This takes a little longer.

 * ``fmc-model`` to change the default FMC Flash model. FW needs
   support for the chip model to boot.

 * ``spi-model`` to change the default SPI Flash model.

 * ``bmc-console`` to change the default console device. Most of the
   machines use the ``UART5`` device for a boot console, which is
   mapped on ``/dev/ttyS4`` under Linux, but it is not always the
   case.

To use other flash models, for instance a different FMC chip and a
bigger (64M) SPI for the ``ast2500-evb`` machine, run :

.. code-block:: bash

  -M ast2500-evb,fmc-model=mx25l25635e,spi-model=mx66u51235f

When more flexibility is needed to define the flash devices, to use
different flash models or define all flash devices (up to 8), the
``-nodefaults`` QEMU option can be used to avoid creating the default
flash devices.

Flash devices should then be created from the command line and attached
to a block device :

.. code-block:: bash

  $ qemu-system-arm -M ast2600-evb \
        -blockdev node-name=fmc0,driver=file,filename=/path/to/fmc0.img \
	-device mx66u51235f,bus=ssi.0,cs=0x0,drive=fmc0 \
	-blockdev node-name=fmc1,driver=file,filename=/path/to/fmc1.img \
	-device mx66u51235f,bus=ssi.0,cs=0x1,drive=fmc1 \
	-blockdev node-name=spi1,driver=file,filename=/path/to/spi1.img \
	-device mx66u51235f,cs=0x0,bus=ssi.1,drive=spi1 \
	-nographic -nodefaults

In that case, the machine boots fetching instructions from the FMC0
device. It is slower to start but closer to what HW does. Using the
machine option ``execute-in-place`` has a similar effect.

To change the boot console and use device ``UART3`` (``/dev/ttyS2``
under Linux), use :

.. code-block:: bash

  -M ast2500-evb,bmc-console=uart3

Aspeed minibmc family boards (``ast1030-evb``)

The SoC comes with SRAM, SPI, I2C, etc.

ASPEED GitHub release repository :

   https://github.com/AspeedTech-BMC/zephyr/releases

.. code-block:: bash

  $ qemu-system-arm -M ast1030-evb -nographic \
        -kernel zephyr.elf

Facebook Yosemite v3.5 Platform and CraterLake Server (``fby35``)
==================================================================

Facebook has a series of multi-node compute server designs named
Yosemite. The most recent version released was
`Yosemite v3 <https://www.opencompute.org/documents/ocp-yosemite-v3-platform-design-specification-1v16-pdf>`__.

Yosemite v3.5 is an iteration on this design, and is very similar: there's a
baseboard with a BMC, and 4 server slots. The new server board design termed
"CraterLake" includes a Bridge IC (BIC), with room for expansion boards to
include various compute accelerators (video, inferencing, etc). At the moment,
only the first server slot's BIC is included.

Yosemite v3.5 is itself a sled which fits into a 40U chassis, and 3 sleds
can be fit into a chassis. See `here <https://www.opencompute.org/products/423/wiwynn-yosemite-v3-server>`__
for an example.

In this generation, the BMC is an AST2600 and each BIC is an AST1030. The BMC
runs `OpenBMC <https://github.com/facebook/openbmc>`__, and the BIC runs
`OpenBIC <https://github.com/facebook/openbic>`__.

Firmware images can be retrieved from the Github releases or built from the
source code, see the README's for instructions on that. This image uses the
"fby35" machine recipe from OpenBMC, and the "yv35-cl" target from OpenBIC.
Some reference images can also be found here:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ wget https://github.com/facebook/openbmc/releases/download/openbmc-e2294ff5d31d/fby35.mtd
    $ wget https://github.com/peterdelevoryas/OpenBIC/releases/download/oby35-cl-2022.13.01/Y35BCL.elf

Since this machine has multiple SoC's, each with their own serial console, the
recommended way to run it is to allocate a pseudoterminal for each serial
console and let the monitor use stdio. Also, starting in a paused state is
useful because it allows you to attach to the pseudoterminals before the boot
process starts.

.. code-block:: bash

    $ qemu-system-arm -machine fby35 \
        -drive file=fby35.mtd,format=raw,if=mtd \
        -device loader,file=Y35BCL.elf,addr=0,cpu-num=2 \
        -serial pty -serial pty -serial mon:stdio \
        -display none -S
    $ screen /dev/tty0 # In a separate TMUX pane, terminal window, etc.
    $ screen /dev/tty1
    $ (qemu) c		   # Start the boot process once screen is setup.
