Aspeed family boards (``*-bmc``, ``ast2500-evb``, ``ast2600-evb``)
==================================================================
The QEMU Aspeed machines model BMCs of various OpenPOWER systems and
Aspeed evaluation boards. They are based on different releases of the
Aspeed SoC : the AST2400 integrating an ARM926EJ-S CPU (400MHz), the
AST2500 with an ARM1176JZS CPU (800MHz) and more recently the AST2600
with dual cores ARM Cortex-A7 CPUs (1.2GHz).
The SoC comes with RAM, Gigabit ethernet, USB, SD/MMC, USB, SPI, I2C,
etc.
AST2400 SoC based machines :
- ``palmetto-bmc`` OpenPOWER Palmetto POWER8 BMC
- ``quanta-q71l-bmc`` OpenBMC Quanta BMC
- ``supermicrox11-bmc`` Supermicro X11 BMC
AST2500 SoC based machines :
- ``ast2500-evb`` Aspeed AST2500 Evaluation board
- ``romulus-bmc`` OpenPOWER Romulus POWER9 BMC
- ``witherspoon-bmc`` OpenPOWER Witherspoon POWER9 BMC
- ``sonorapass-bmc`` OCP SonoraPass BMC
- ``fp5280g2-bmc`` Inspur FP5280G2 BMC
- ``g220a-bmc`` Bytedance G220A BMC
AST2600 SoC based machines :
- ``ast2600-evb`` Aspeed AST2600 Evaluation board (Cortex-A7)
- ``tacoma-bmc`` OpenPOWER Witherspoon POWER9 AST2600 BMC
- ``rainier-bmc`` IBM Rainier POWER10 BMC
- ``fuji-bmc`` Facebook Fuji BMC
Supported devices
-----------------
* SMP (for the AST2600 Cortex-A7)
* Interrupt Controller (VIC)
* Timer Controller
* RTC Controller
* I2C Controller
* System Control Unit (SCU)
* SRAM mapping
* X-DMA Controller (basic interface)
* Static Memory Controller (SMC or FMC) - Only SPI Flash support
* SPI Memory Controller
* USB 2.0 Controller
* SD/MMC storage controllers
* SDRAM controller (dummy interface for basic settings and training)
* Watchdog Controller
* GPIO Controller (Master only)
* UART
* Ethernet controllers
* Front LEDs (PCA9552 on I2C bus)
* LPC Peripheral Controller (a subset of subdevices are supported)
* Hash/Crypto Engine (HACE) - Hash support only. TODO: HMAC and RSA
* ADC
Missing devices
---------------
* Coprocessor support
* PWM and Fan Controller
* Slave GPIO Controller
* Super I/O Controller
* PCI-Express 1 Controller
* Graphic Display Controller
* PECI Controller
* MCTP Controller
* Mailbox Controller
* Virtual UART
* eSPI Controller
* I3C Controller
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
The image should be attached as an MTD drive. Run :
.. 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 FMC Flash model. FW needs support for
the chip model to boot.
* ``spi-model`` to change the SPI Flash model.
For instance, to start the ``ast2500-evb`` machine with a different
FMC chip and a bigger (64M) SPI chip, use :
.. code-block:: bash
-M ast2500-evb,fmc-model=mx25l25635e,spi-model=mx66u51235f
Aspeed minibmc family boards (``ast1030-evb``)
==================================================================
The QEMU Aspeed machines model mini BMCs of various Aspeed evaluation
boards. They are based on different releases of the
Aspeed SoC : the AST1030 integrating an ARM Cortex M4F CPU (200MHz).
The SoC comes with SRAM, SPI, I2C, etc.
AST1030 SoC based machines :
- ``ast1030-evb`` Aspeed AST1030 Evaluation board (Cortex-M4F)
Supported devices
-----------------
* SMP (for the AST1030 Cortex-M4F)
* Interrupt Controller (VIC)
* Timer Controller
* I2C Controller

* PWM and Fan Controller
* Slave GPIO Controller
* PECI Controller
* Mailbox Controller
* Virtual UART
* eSPI Controller
* I3C Controller
Boot options
------------
The Aspeed machines can be started using the ``-kernel`` to load a
Zephyr OS or from a firmware. Images can be downloaded from the
ASPEED GitHub release repository :
https://github.com/AspeedTech-BMC/zephyr/releases
To boot a kernel directly from a Zephyr build tree:
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-arm -M ast1030-evb -nographic \
-kernel zephyr.elf
