Bluefield tools

This repository contains tools and a Containerfile to build a container which provides a conveniant way to manage Buefield-2 (BF-2) and Bluefield-3 (BF-3). Make sure that the underlying system has kernel-modules-extra installed (since cuse is a dependency) and run the container as follows (a build is available on quay.io):

test change test

sudo podman run --pull always --replace --pid host --network host --user 0 --name bf -dit --privileged -v /dev:/dev quay.io/bnemeth/bf

Tools

All the tools can directly be ran inside the container. All the tools automatically find and act on the first BF in the system.

sudo podman exec -it bf <TOOL_NAME>
Tool Purpose
reset Reboots the BF.
listbf List all B2 on the system.
fwup Updates the firmware on the BF to the latest.
fwversion Shows firmware version
console Starts a minicom console to access the BF.
pxeboot Starts a pxe server and tells BF to boot from it. An coreos iso file needs to be passed.
fwdefaults Resets the firmware settings on the BF to defaults.
bfb Downloads BFB images and sends it to the BF.
set_mode Sets the BF mode to either dpu or nic. One argument is required
get_mode Gets the BF mode.

The only tool that requires an argument is the pxeboot tool. It expect an iso file with coreos that should be booted through the rshim. The iso file can optionally be on an nfs mount point.
