Blackbird / Blackbird Down

« on: November 14, 2022, 12:37:37 pm »

Hello all,

Last week we had a large storm come through and took out our power for a 5 days.  Unfortunately my Blackbird was on when the power died.  Even more unfortunately it will no longer boot up.  It gets as far as where you choose which OS/kernel you want to use and it locks up.  Has anyone here run into this before?

Firmware / Compiling and Updating BMC

« on: February 06, 2022, 02:48:19 pm »

Working on a Blackbird/Fedora via debian-chroot, I was able to self compile "blackbird.pnor". 

I am stuck with a
"OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented
)
ERROR: Unable to connect to bitbake server, or start one"
while Building the OpenBMC firmware.

I had decided to just download the pre-compiled version and became a little confused.  The instructions for self compiling say you should end up with 2 files,  "image-rofs" and "image-kernel" but when I open the pre-compiled version it contains only one file, "blackbird-v2.00-image-bmc".

EDIT: So, if updating via shell you use the web_ipmi_upgrade and if updating via the web you use the shell_upgrade?  I'm sure this makes sense to everybody else but I invert my x-y axis on FPS's.
