Project Summary 2.1. Project Description: Congo 4U AC/DC server are the next generation CMT 19" rack servers for Telecom market. Congo is based on Victoria Falls processors, and it is leveraged from Maramba motherboard. This project registers the "banner-name" and root node "name" property values used on the Congo platform. OpenBoot extracts these values from the guest MDs and creates the properties for Solaris to use. Minor changes are also required to the vBSC/POST interface to allow POST to return information relevant to I/O devices found on Congo. 2.2 Risks and Assumptions: Assumptions: ------------ - Congo OepnBoot code will be leverage from Maramba OpenBoot. There is no OpenBoot code change. - All Maramba related FWARC cases are reviewed and approved prior to Congo release. 3. Business Summary 3.1. Problem Area: This one pager provides information about properties and name provided by Congo at the system firmware level, which must be registered with FWARC. 3.2. Market/Requester: NSN 3.3. Business Justification: N/A 3.4. Competitive Analysis: N/A 3.5. Opportunity Window/Exposure: Required for Congo RR 3.6. How will you know when you are done?: When the related code changes are integrated into 4.x gate. 4. Technical Description: 4.1 New Development 4.1.1 OpenBoot properties Congo will have the following root name "name" and "banner-name" properties. "name" Type: Prop-encoded-string Contents: Root node name property for Congo Value: "SUNW,Netra-T5440" "banner-name" Type: Prop-encoded-string Contents: Banner name for Congo Value: "Sun Netra T5440" 4.1.2 vBSC/POST interface vBSC/POST interface for Congo is identical to the one defined for Maramba (FWARC/2007/605 section 7) with a very minor change in "IO Device Results" field. The unused bit 9 (in Maramba) is used in Congo. 4.1.2.1 IO device Results Bit Maramba Devices Congo Devices ----- ------------------- -------------------------------- 0 XAUI0 XAUI0 1 XAUI1 XAUI1 2 PCISWITCH0 PCISWITCH0 3 PCISWITCH1 PCISWITCH1 4 PCISWITCH2 PCISWITCH2 5 PCISWITCH3 PCISWITCH3 6 GBE GBE 7 PCIEIO PCIEIO 8 SASHBA SASHBA 9 Unused PCIE Bridge (New for Congo) 4.2 Interfaces: Imported Interfaces: Interface Classification Comments "name" Standard FWARC/1998/392 (Standard IEEE 1275 Property) "banner-name" Stable FWARC/1998/392 (Legacy Property) vBSC/POST Interface Uncommitted FWARC/2007/605 Exported Interfaces: "SUNW,Netra-T5440" Uncommitted "name" property value "Sun Netra T5440" Uncommitted "banner-name" property value "IO Device Results" Uncommitted Section 4.1.2 field for Congo 5.

Yes, it is adding a new platform (Congo).
I would add a new section in Sun4v VBSC/POST interface document and copy it 
in case directory.
    

For someone not fluent in the fwarc case materials management, how would they
find the latest complete vbsc/post interface?

  4.1.2 vBSC/POST interface

    vBSC/POST interface for Congo is identical to the one defined for
    Maramba (FWARC/2007/605 section 7) with a very minor change in     "IO 
Device Results" field. The unused bit 9 (in Maramba) is used
    in Congo.


If this case is extending the sun4v vbsc/post interface specification 
document:

http://sac.eng/Archives/CaseLog/arc/FWARC/2007/605/materials/sun4v_vbsc_post_interface.txt

Then please create a new version of that specification with your changes 
so that all vbsc and post interface information for all sun4v platforms 
can be found in a single document. Basically, add a section 9 for Congo.

I think an even better thing to do would be to add a link to the FWARC approved specs section of the main page. I should have done that with the original case I suppose. Sunit: can you update the FWARC main page with this new version of the spec? I've updated the IAM permissions for you.
