Firmware / talos-openbmc: build failure

« on: December 27, 2020, 03:10:48 pm »

i am using a fedora-32 vm to build the openpower and openbmc firmware, and have setup the debian-chroot config per

https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Compiling_Firmware

the openpower fw built fine (apart from some messages about signing keys), but i have hit a build error for the raptor-v2.00 branch of talos-openbmc. it fails during obmc-phosphor-initfs.bb:do_install and here is the build log

as you can see, the bbe binary is missing.

advice appreciated.

Blackbird / LPC Guard questions

« on: December 24, 2020, 11:37:10 am »

per this document from crowdsupply about LPC Guard

https://www.crowdsupply.com/raptor-computing-systems/talos-secure-workstation/updates/talos-fpga-functions-and-responsibilities-part-1

is it correct to assume that LPC Guard is present in blackbird and talos ii mainboards?

is LPC Guard implemented in hw/fw, where it is passively applied, or does it need to be implemented in the os?

LPC Guard is a pretty attractive feature, thus my interest.

Blackbird / mainboards on backorder

« on: December 24, 2020, 11:18:56 am »

i've been checking the online store every few weeks for the past several months and the blackbird mainboards continue to show as backordered.

can someone from raptor give insight into what is driving the unavailability of blackbird boards? i expect earlier batch(es) sold out and there is a wait for the next batch to arrive.

i am keen to get one of these systems for testing, but i would like to know more about how long i should expect to wait between ordering it and receiving it before placing an order.
