[1.1.0] - 2023-06-07

Added

  1. console-server: Add PTY support for testing purposes
  2. console-server: Add --console-id option
  3. console-server: Add DBUS interface to find console unix socket FD.
  4. Implement D-Bus interface xyz.openbmc_project.Console.UART for UART TTY devices.

Changed

  1. The xyz.openbmc_project.console interface is only published if the underlying TTY device is a UART and not a VUART nor PTY (where baud is not applicable)

  2. console-server: Don't require a configuration file

    Passing the --config option is no longer required when invoking obmc-console-server.

Deprecated

  1. obmc-console: Introduce console-id, deprecate socket-id

    Deprecate the socket-id key in the configuration schema. Uses of socket-id should be directly replaced with console-id.

  2. Deprecate the xyz.openbmc_project.console D-Bus interface in favor of the functionally equivalent xyz.openbmc_project.Console.UART.

Fixed

  1. obmc-console: Consolidate handling of default socket-id
  2. log-handler: Set the end of the file as the file size
