      1Aspeed family boards (``*-bmc``, ``ast2500-evb``, ``ast2600-evb``)
      2==================================================================
      3
      4The QEMU Aspeed machines model BMCs of various OpenPOWER systems and
      5Aspeed evaluation boards. They are based on different releases of the
      6Aspeed SoC : the AST2400 integrating an ARM926EJ-S CPU (400MHz), the
      7AST2500 with an ARM1176JZS CPU (800MHz) and more recently the AST2600
      8with dual cores ARM Cortex-A7 CPUs (1.2GHz).
      9
     10The SoC comes with RAM, Gigabit ethernet, USB, SD/MMC, USB, SPI, I2C,
     11etc.

     73Boot options
     74------------
     75
     76The Aspeed machines can be started using the ``-kernel`` option to
     77load a Linux kernel or from a firmware. Images can be downloaded from
     78the OpenBMC jenkins :
     79
     80   https://jenkins.openbmc.org/job/ci-openbmc/lastSuccessfulBuild/distro=ubuntu,label=docker-builder
     81
     82or directly from the OpenBMC GitHub release repository :
     83
     84   https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/releases
     85
     86The image should be attached as an MTD drive. Run :
     87
     88.. code-block:: bash
     89
     90  $ qemu-system-arm -M romulus-bmc -nic user \
     91	-drive file=obmc-phosphor-image-romulus.static.mtd,format=raw,if=mtd -nographic
     92
     93Options specific to Aspeed machines are :
     94
     95 * ``execute-in-place`` which emulates the boot from the CE0 flash
     96   device by using the FMC controller to load the instructions, and
     97   not simply from RAM. This takes a little longer.
     98
     99 * ``fmc-model`` to change the FMC Flash model. FW needs support for
    100   the chip model to boot.
    101
    102 * ``spi-model`` to change the SPI Flash model.
    103
    104For instance, to start the ``ast2500-evb`` machine with a different
    105FMC chip and a bigger (64M) SPI chip, use :
    106
    107.. code-block:: bash
    108
    109  -M ast2500-evb,fmc-model=mx25l25635e,spi-model=mx66u51235f
