6 Commits • 3 Features
Jan 1, 2026January 2026 delivered targeted reliability and configurability improvements for OpenBIC, focusing on firmware update flow, cross-platform MCTP efficiency, and initialization timing to reduce downtime and platform-specific regressions. Key outcomes include ensuring post-update steps precede apply-complete signaling to avoid MMC hangs, blocking VR access during updates, and enabling platform-specific firmware timeout overrides; standardizing MCTP MTU to 64 bytes with a cross-platform PLAT_MCTP_MSG_MAX_SIZE; adding Delta UBC sensor 2nd address with fallback for improved reliability; and correcting RTC initialization to occur after the PLDM event receiver is set up. These changes reduce update failures, enhance interoperability, and improve overall system reliability in production environments.
