Blackbird / Re: Support for POWER9 22core?

« on: February 16, 2020, 05:56:04 am »

It's possible, but not at full speed. It's linked through the power consumption -> Mainboard VRMs

These are only for comparison.
I would like to benchmark FFTW, but sadly it fails because he is expecting SSE and I don't know how to change it.

It is a pity that cpufreq does not distinguish between physical cores and threads. Then it would be possible to switch off single cores and you could also switch between SMT1, 2 and 4.

Yes, the mapping is for the Blackbird only.
I'm using cpufreq.

Code: [Select]

$ ls -l /dev/ipmi0

Code: [Select]

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99_my.rules

Code: [Select]

chgrp ipmi /dev/ipmi0

What have I done wrong and how do I correct the permissions?

Sorry, I have to ask you one thing. I have done adduser and addgroup. The files looks as folows:

vigr:

Code: [Select]

ipmi:x:1001:username
vigr -s:

Code: [Select]

ipmi:!::username
vipw:

Code: [Select]

username:x:1000:1001:ipmi:/home/username:/bin/bash
groups:

Code: [Select]

ipmi wheel
I guess, the vipw entry are wrong? What have I got to enter in this file?

Because, when I type: ipmitool sdr type fan, I got:

Code: [Select]

Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory
I still have to sudo.

You can verify the firmware with Flashrom and a Bus Pirate. But there should be an easier solution. But sadly, that's all I can say.

I'm wondering what do you want to patch?
