# OCP Delta Lake
This page describes coreboot support status for the [OCP] (Open Compute Project)
Delta Lake server platform.
## Introduction
OCP Delta Lake server platform is a component of multi-host server system
Yosemite-V3. Both [Delta Lake server design spec] and [Yosemite-V3 design
spec] were [OCP] accepted.
On the other hand, Wiwynn's Yosemite-V3 system and Delta Lake server product
along with its OSF implementation, which is based on FSP/coreboot/LinuxBoot
stack, was [OCP] accepted; For details, check:
- [The OCP blog]
- [The Wiwynn Press Release]
- [The Wiwynn's Yosemite-V3 product in OCP market place]
Wiwynn and 9Elements formed a partnership to offer the Wiwynn's Yosemite-V3
product and OSF for it.
Delta Lake server is a single socket Cooper Lake Scalable Processor (CPX-SP) server.
Intel Cooper Lake Scalable Processor was launched in Q2 2020.
Yosemite-V3 has multiple configurations. Depending on configurations, it may
host up to 4 Delta Lake servers (blades) in one sled.
The Yosemite-V3 system is in mass production. Meta, Intel and partners
jointly develop Open System Firmware (OSF) solution on Delta Lake as an alternative
solution. The OSF solution is based on FSP/coreboot/LinuxBoot stack. The
OSF solution reached production quality for some use cases in July, 2021.
## How to build
OSF code base is public at
https://github.com/opencomputeproject/OpenSystemFirmware
Run following commands to build Delta Lake OSF image from scratch:
git clone https://github.com/opencomputeproject/OpenSystemFirmware.git
cd OpenSystemFirmware/Wiwynn/deltalake && ./download_and_build.sh
The Delta Lake OSF code base leverages [osf-builder] to sync down coreboot,
Linux kernel and u-root code from their upstream repo, and sync down needed
binary blobs. [osf-builder] also provides the top level build system.
Delta Lake server OSF solution requires following binary blobs:
- FSP blob: The blob (Intel Cooper Lake Scalable Processor Firmware Support Package)
can be downloaded from https://github.com/intel/FSP/tree/master/CedarIslandFspBinPkg.
- Microcode: Available through github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files.
coreboot.org mirrors this repo and by default the correct binary is included.
- ME binary: Ignition binary can be downloaded from
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-non-osi/tree/master/Silicon/Intel/PurleySiliconBinPkg/MeFirmware
- ACM binaries: only required for CBnT enablement. Available under NDA with Intel.
- Payload: LinuxBoot is necessary when LinuxBoot is used as the coreboot payload.
U-root as initramfs, is used in the joint development. It can be built
following [All about u-root].
## Flashing coreboot
To do in-band FW image update, use [flashrom]:
flashrom -p internal:ich_spi_mode=hwseq -c "Opaque flash chip" --ifd \
-i bios --noverify-all -w <path to coreboot image>
From OpenBMC, to update FW image:
fw-util slotx --update bios <path to coreboot image>
To power off/on the host:
power-util slotx off
power-util slotx on
To connect to console through SOL (Serial Over Lan):
sol-util slotx
## Firmware configurations
[ChromeOS VPD] is used to store most of the firmware configurations.
RO_VPD region holds default values, while RW_VPD region holds customized
values.
VPD variables supported are:
- firmware_version: This variable holds overall firmware version. coreboot
uses that value to populate smbios type 1 version field.
- bmc_bootorder_override: When it's set to 1 IPMI OEM command can override boot
order. The boot order override is done in the u-root LinuxBoot payload.
- systemboot_log_level: u-root package systemboot log levels, would be mapped to
quiet/verbose in systemboot as that is all we have for now. 5 to 8 would be
mapped to verbose, 0 to 4 and 9 would be mapped to quiet.
- VPDs affecting coreboot are listed/documented in [src/mainboard/ocp/deltalake/vpd.h].
## Features
The solution is developed using LinuxBoot payload with Linux kernel 5.2.9,
and [u-root] as initramfs.
