Failure to launch #5

Closed shenki closed 8 years ago

shenki commented 8 years ago

On a Palmetto running a custom BMC:

# pdbg putcfam 0x281c 0x30000000 
fsi_getcfam: getcfam error. Response: 0xfffffffe
main: Unable to initialise backend

This is usually because the BMC hasn't been put in debug mode with the ipmitool raw command. Doing that directly with pdbg has been on my todo list for a while now.

@apopple pointed out that the P8 was not powered on

12:00 < alistair> joel: you have to turn the power on first ;-)
12:03 <@joel> alistair: the power on to what? :P
12:03 <@joel> the p8?
12:04 <@joel> i didn't know we had it turned off
12:04 < alistair> the p8 ... which is the thing pdbg is trying to talk to :)
12:04 <@joel> alistair: there's a gpio for that?
12:04 < alistair> right ... the BMC controls the power supplies
12:04 < alistair> via a GPIO
12:04 <@joel> ok. my bad
12:04 <@joel> thanks :)
12:04 < alistair> GPIOE1 to be precise
12:05 < alistair> POWER GOOD is on GPIOC7
12:05 < alistair> set GPIOE1 -> 0/Low = power on
