| <p>skiboot-5.4.0-rc4 was released on Tuesday November 8th 2016. It is the |
| fourth (and hopefully final) release candidate of skiboot 5.4, which will |
| become the new stable release of skiboot following the 5.3 release, first |
| released August 2nd 2016.</p> |
| <p>skiboot-5.4.0-rc4 contains all bug fixes as of <a class="reference internal" href="skiboot-5.3.7.html#skiboot-5-3-7"><span class="std std-ref">skiboot-5.3.7</span></a> |
| and <a class="reference internal" href="skiboot-5.1.18.html#skiboot-5-1-18"><span class="std std-ref">skiboot-5.1.18</span></a> (the currently maintained stable releases).</p> |
| <p>For how the skiboot stable releases work, see <a class="reference internal" href="../process/stable-skiboot-rules.html#stable-rules"><span class="std std-ref">Skiboot stable tree rules and releases</span></a> for details.</p> |
| <p>Since this is a release candidate, it should <em>NOT</em> be put into production.</p> |
| <p>With this release candidate, I’m hoping that it’s the last one, and that within |
| the week we’re able to tag a final 5.4.0 release. There is one bit of code I’m |
| hoping to merge in before the final 5.4.0, and that’s the p8dtu platform |
| definition. The aim is for skiboot-5.4.x to be in op-build v1.13, which is due |
| by November 23rd 2016.</p> |
| <p>Over <a class="reference internal" href="skiboot-5.4.0-rc3.html#skiboot-5-4-0-rc3"><span class="std std-ref">skiboot-5.4.0-rc3</span></a>, we have a few changes:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><p>Add BMC platform to enable correct OEM IPMI commands</p> |
| <p>An out of tree platform (p8dtu) uses a different IPMI OEM command |
| for IPMI_PARTIAL_ADD_ESEL. This exposed some assumptions about the BMC |
| implementation in our core code.</p> |
| <p>Now, with platform.bmc, each platform can dictate (or detect) the BMC |
| that is present. We allow it to be set at runtime rather than purely |
| statically in struct platform as it’s possible to have differing BMC |
| implementations on the one machine (e.g. AMI BMC or OpenBMC).</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>hw/ipmi-sensor: Fix setting of firmware progress sensor properly.</p> |
| <p>On FSP systems, OPAL was incorrectly setting firmware status |
| on a sensor id “00” which doesn’t exist.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>pflash: remove stray d in from info message</p></li> |
| <li><p>libflash/pflash: support whole chip erase on mtd access</p></li> |
| <li><p>boot_test: fix typo in console message</p></li> |
| <li><p>core/pci: Fix criteria in pci_cfg_reg_filter(), i.e. NVLink didn’t work.</p></li> |
| <li><p>Remove KERNEL_COMMAND_LINE mention from config.h</p> |
| <p>We removed the functionality but not the define.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
