Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] soc: aspeed: Add BMC and host driver for PCIe BMC device
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 14:51:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1780929570.git.gregoire.layet@9elements.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1780409151.git.gregoire.layet@9elements.com>
This is a v2 for upstreaming the VUART over PCIe BMC device driver from the ASPEED kernel SDK (branch master-v6.18) [1].
There are two drivers: a BMC-side driver and a host-side driver.
Together they enable host<->BMC VUART communication via PCIe.
This v2 narrows down the scope to VUART support only, to address review feedback on v1 [2]
that the additional subsystems (shared memory, doorbell and mailbox) were software-defined
IPC channels better used with rpmsg or virtio.
Those subsystems are deferred to a separate future series.
VUART data flow and MSI interrupts have been verified working on the test hardware.
Tested on:
BMC:
- Asus IPMI Kommando Card R1.01, AST2600 A3.
- OpenBMC
Host:
- Linux kernel v7.0.0
This v2 only supports AST2600; the AST2700 is untested and not supported by this patch.
Changes since v1 [2]:
- BMC driver: trimmed down to only SCU and PCIe initialization
- Host driver: removed shared memory misc device, sysfs doorbell, mailbox setup and message queue handler.
Driver now only supports VUART registration.
- Host driver: Fixed cleanup path: removed pci_release_regions() call as there was no matching pci_request_regions call
