Install a P9 Open Power Hardware with the latest OP940 BMC Firmware images. https://rchweb.rchland.ibm.com/releasenotes/openpower9/OP940/OP940_1934A/OP940_1934D_RelNote_Main.html

Then built the PNOR image using the upstream Eric's git tree and flashed the witherspoon PNOR on the box.

Then flashed the witherspoon.pnor.squashfs.tar PNOR image onto the witherspoon box. Then after powering on the HOST, there is MCE Fatal crash at skiboot and machine is continuously rebooting.
