I can't able to connect the sol web console with raspberrypi4

[heyviveksingh]

i have add below
baud=115200
local-tty = ttyAMA0
loacl-tty-baud = 115200
console-id = host0

but i'm not getting to connect to web console (sol)

How are you connecting a rpi4 to a host? That isn’t really a typical “BMC chip”.

You're right — the Raspberry Pi 4 isn’t a typical BMC chip like an AST2500 or Nuvoton. But I'm using it for development and evaluation purposes.

I built the OpenBMC image specifically for the Raspberry Pi 4, and it’s running successfully. The bmcweb service is working fine, and I’ve been able to access several Redfish endpoints already. It's a great way to explore and test OpenBMC features, even if it’s not a production BMC platform.

but I wanted to connect the web console (sol ) with bmcweb, what can I able to connect with rpi aur need two rpi one as host and another one as bmc, what this idea is really woked

I'm having trouble deciphering this statement. Can you please restate your exact problem?

Did you add a udev rule to trigger a systemd unit for the console?

You need to create a config for the console server and a unit to be started by the device discovery.

The local-tty is to mirror the serial connection to an external tty. I'm guessing you intended for that tty to be the connection to the "host" RPi.

The bmcweb service is working fine, and I’ve been able to access several Redfish endpoints already. It's a great way to explore and test OpenBMC features, even if it’s not a production BMC platform.

This (and it's availablity) is why the meta-raspberrypi integration was merged years ago. However there has been limited usage and it does not have active maintenance. Instead it is getting limited updates when something runs out of space and some notices and provides a fix (or at least enough of a problem description for someone to suggest a fix). I

t is only integrated as an evaluation platform similar other base soc evaluation boards in meta-evp.
The boot and file system is from the raspberry pi with uboot selected for no functional benefit (just similarly to other boards) and has no code update support. (After my recent work in this area I have thoughts on making an integration but no motivation).

There is no raspberry pi connected to anything else in tree. I'm not aware of anyone who has even described a setup with an external connection even a sensor or hat to monitor a system or environment (voltage temperature etc).

There is no standard for connecting to a host (or there asn't [before PIKVM ) and hence no host power control.

There is limited availability to connect standard protocols to connect to a host. It doesn't have a LPC It's i2c target is independently connected vs the two i2c initiator, so for most standard BMC it BMC to BMC connections you'ld need to connect one of each and create a virtual i2c exposing the combination to other kernel i2c interfaces.

Yes, PiKVM has become popular and has created a defacto standard for KVM-IP and even has serial and atx power though isolation solid state relay for level translation.

I still think RPi can be a useful integration test and learning platform but it's not there and question it's suitability for mass deployment and even standard tinkering as is. Expect to put some effort in.
