# phosphor-psu-code-mgmt

phosphor-psu-code-mgmt is a service to provide management for PSU code,
including:

- PSU code version
- PSU code update

## Building

```text
meson build/ && ninja -C build
```

## Unit test

- Run it in OpenBMC CI, refer to [local-ci-build.md][1]
- Run it in [OE SDK][2], run below commands in a x86-64 SDK env:

```text
meson -Doe-sdk=enabled -Dtests=enabled build/
ninja -C build/ test # Meson skips running the case due to it thinks it's cross compiling
# Manually run the tests
for t in `find build/test/ -maxdepth 1 -name "test_*"`; do ./$t || break ; done
```

## Vendor-specific tools

This repo contains generic code to handle the PSU versions and updates. It
depends on vendor-specific tools to provide the below functions on the real PSU
hardware:

- Get PSU firmware version
- Compare the firmware version
- Update the PSU firmware

It provides configure options for vendor-specific tools for the above functions:

- `PSU_VERSION_UTIL`: It shall be defined as a command-line tool that accepts
the PSU inventory path as input, and outputs the PSU version string to stdout.
- `PSU_VERSION_COMPARE_UTIL`: It shall be defined as a command-line tool that
accepts one or more PSU version strings, and outputs the latest version string
to stdout.
- `PSU_UPDATE_SERVICE`: It shall be defined as a systemd service that accepts
two arguments:
- The PSU inventory DBus object;
- The path of the PSU image(s).

For example:

```text
meson -Dtests=disabled \
'-DPSU_VERSION_UTIL=/usr/bin/psutils --raw --get-version' \
'-DPSU_VERSION_COMPARE_UTIL=/usr/bin/psutils --raw --compare' \
'[email protected]' \
build
```

The above configures the vendor-specific tools to use `psutils` from
[phosphor-power][3] to get and compare the PSU versions, and use
`[email protected]` to perform the PSU firmware update, where internally it
invokes `psutils` as well.

## Usage

### PSU version

When the service starts, it queries the inventory to get all the PSU inventory
paths, invokes the vendor-specific tool to get the versions, and creates version
objects under `/xyz/openbmc_project/software` that are associated with the PSU
inventory path. If multiple PSUs are using the same version, multiple PSU
inventory paths are associated.

E.g.

- Example of system with two PSUs that have different versions:

```text
"/xyz/openbmc_project/software/02572429": {
"Activation": "xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Activation.Activations.Active",
"Associations": [
[
"inventory",
"activation",
"/xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/chassis/motherboard/powersupply1"
]
],
"ExtendedVersion": "",
"Path": "",
"Purpose": "xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Version.VersionPurpose.PSU",
"RequestedActivation": "xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Activation.RequestedActivations.None",
"Version": "01120114"
},
"/xyz/openbmc_project/software/7094f612": {
"Activation": "xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Activation.Activations.Active",
"Associations": [
[
"inventory",
"activation",
"/xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/chassis/motherboard/powersupply0"
]
],
"ExtendedVersion": "",
"Path": "",
"Purpose": "xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Version.VersionPurpose.PSU",
"RequestedActivation": "xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Activation.RequestedActivations.None",
"Version": "00000110"
},
```

- Example of system with two PSUs that have the same version:

```text
"/xyz/openbmc_project/software/9463c2ad": {
"Activation": "xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Activation.Activations.Active",
"Associations": [
[
"inventory",
"activation",
"/xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/chassis/motherboard/powersupply0"
],
[
"inventory",
"activation",
"/xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/chassis/motherboard/powersupply1"
]
],
"ExtendedVersion": "",
"Path": "",
"Purpose": "xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Version.VersionPurpose.PSU",
"RequestedActivation": "xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Activation.RequestedActivations.None",
"Version": "01100110"
},
```

### PSU update

1. Generate a tarball of PSU firmware image by [generate-psu-tar tool][4].

```text
./generate-psu-tar --image --version --model --manufacturer \
--machineName --outfile --sign
```

2. To update the PSU firmware, follow the same steps as described in
[code-update.md][5]:
- Upload a PSU image tarball and get the version ID;
- Set the RequestedActivation state of the uploaded image's version ID.
- Check the state and wait for the activation to be completed.
3. After a successful update, the PSU image and the manifest is stored in BMC's
persistent storage defined by `IMG_DIR_PERSIST`. When a PSU is replaced, the
PSU's firmware version will be checked and updated if it's older than the one
stored in BMC.
4. It is possible to put a PSU image and MANIFEST in the built-bin OpenBMC image
in BMC's read-only filesystem defined by `IMG_DIR_BUILTIN`. When the service
starts, it will compare the versions of the built-in image, the stored image
(after PSU update), and the existing PSUs, if there is any PSU that has an
older firmware, it will be updated to the newest one.
