Change Log History

The NCSIoMCTPoSMBus interface has been activated to facilitate communication between the DPU BMC and the NIC subsystem. This activation has introduced several enhanced functionalities to the NIC subsystem's firmware, including:

• Configuring and retrieving the DPU's operational mode

• Configuring and retrieving the status of the RShim

• Retrieving the strap values of the NIC subsystem on the DPU

• Obtaining information about the OS state

Added the ability to control BIOS secure boot configuration through the Redfish interface

Allow programmatic changing of BIOS/UEFI parameters via the Redfish API

Support UEFI HTTP boot using Redfish

Allow programmatic mechanism for changing BIOS/UEFI boot order using Redfish

Implemented the Certificate, CertificateLocations, and CertificateService schema in the NIC BMC, including certificate information

Implemented Redfish-based firmware update using the SimpleUpdate SCP schema for DPU recovery

DPU BMC indication of the reset/reboot state

Added support for BMCs of BlueField-3 DPUs

Add support for Serial Console Redirection

Added Redfish service with the underlying schemas:

• Redfish chassis schema to represent the DPU chassis elements including:

  • /redfish/v1/Chassis/Card1

  • /redfish/v1/Chassis/Bluefield_BMC

  • /redfish/v1/Chassis/Bluefield_ERoT

• Redfish sensor schema:

  • /redfish/v1/Chassis/Card1/Sensors/

• NetworkAdapter schema representing a physical network adapter capable of connecting to a computer network:

  • /redfish/v1/Chassis/Card1/NetworkAdapters

• NetworkDeviceFunction schema representing a logical interface that a network adapter exposes:

  • /redfish/v1/Chassis/Card1/NetworkAdapters/{NetworkAdapter}/NetworkDeviceFunctions/

• Port schema containing properties that describe a port of a switch, controller, chassis, or any other device that could be connected to another entity:

  • /redfish/v1/Chassis/Card1/NetworkAdapters/{NetworkAdapter}/Ports

• Management subsystem schema:

  • /redfish/v1/Managers/Bluefield_BMC

• Updated service and the properties that affect the service itself for Redfish implementation:

  • /redfish/v1/UpdateService

• Redfish FirmwareInventory schema:

  • /redfish/v1/UpdateService/FirmwareInventory

• Redfish log service:

  • /redfish/v1/Managers/Bluefield_BMC/LogServices

• Redfish user account for the system manager:

  • /redfish/v1/AccountService

  • /redfish/v1/AccountService/Roles

  • /redfish/v1/SessionService/Sessions

• Redfish session service properties:

  • /redfish/v1/SessionService

• Redfish task service:

  • /redfish/v1/TaskService

Updated LLDPAD to be enabled by default

First software GA release
