I returned my two boards to SuperMicro about a year ago, and they
affected the fix on both of them and returned them to me.  SuperMicro
was even very flexible in the scheduling to fit within the spare board
constraints that I have.  And there was no charge except for the cost to
ship the boards to them.

Here is my take away of the day: avoid reading from Anton, because he jumped to 
conclusions about the C3000 series after his narrow experience with an Atom 
D525.

Note on the side: the C3000 introduced a patch to the known C2000 bug.

Hi Mike,

I laugh every time someone mentions serve-their-home sponsored web site.
I also laugh at people who can't quote in email but tend to give advice.

Here is what I think, disregard Rupert, and skip new unsupported boards.

Evasively this has not affected your system mainboard, very interesting:

https://www.servethehome.com/intel-atom-c2000-series-bug-quiet/
https://www.google.com/search?q=atom+c2758+sudden+death

The fault affects various makers, manifests itself in dead system board.

https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/atom/x10/a1sri-2758f.cfm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Atom_microprocessors#Silvermont_microarchitecture_4

In light of meltdown spectres, how come this did not get any fancy icon?
We are also VERY seriously concerned of critical faults in BMC firmware.

https://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/ipmi.cfm
https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/IPMI_Security_Updates

Here is the current generation of Atom server boards discussed in the
thread, these are quite new and still unsupported:

https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/atom/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Atom_microprocessors#Goldmont_microarchitecture_2

I suspect critical bugs down the line with c3000, to re-warrant extended
product life statements back to the reality of 2yrs, smells like a plan:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence#Contrived_durability

I have a previous generation Atom D525 right next to me, SuperMicro made
X7SPA-HF-D525-O and can report DISSATISFACTION with both of BMC firmware
operating system related vulnerabilities and its reliability.  I have to
constantly restart the BMC before reboots and totally skipped next gens.

https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/atom/ich9/x7spa-hf-d525.cfm
https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/X7SPA-HF

Marketing stuff of no real technical value (will praise anything for $):
https://www.servethehome.com/supermicro-x7spahfd525-x7spehfd525-atom-server-motherboard-review/

I will SKIP until both the BMC starts getting accessible to reprogram w/
OpenBSD tools into using OpenBSD as the BMC firmware.. and further until
Intel stops shipping processors set to fail with hardware bugs, remotely
exploitable management engines and microcode malware disasters included.

Conclusion: Atom server boards are overpriced and the BMC are a failure!
Mobo makers do NOT provide fixes to issues w/ BMC security, reliability.
Check BMC firmware upgrades paths and third party reports on the BMC fw.

https://www.google.com/search?q=WPCM450

https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Supermicro_IPMI_Security_Updates_November_2013

There are NO BMC firmware upgrades past R3.16 and BIOS 1.2b really none.
I am very disappointed the BMC crashes on its own, and prevents reboots.

https://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/firmware0.aspx
https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/IPMI_Security_Updates
https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/download.html?manufacturer=5=82=7224
https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/ICH9/X7SPA-HF-D525.cfm

Now a mandatory dmesg, BMC crash indication at the end, affects reboots.
I bought this board brand new in May 2011, one year later the BMC fails.

Note, the board has the latest BIOS and BMC firmwares, and still the BMC
OS keeps crashing every couple of minutes.  It is one major RMA incident
& the 2 companies selling the boards in my country can not help, at all.

The faulty chip is the Winbond WPCM450 BMC: avoid everywhere.  I can not
be convinced its AST2400 & AST2500 replacements are anything better.  It
is really loudly screaming for an OpenBSD reflash, but I have no images.

https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/ASPEED_AST2400_IPMI_Chip_with_ATEN-Software
https://www.google.com/search?q=AST2500

OpenBSD runs extremely stable on this board, but I hate the BMC, period.
Before buying mainboards ask long term usage reports from OpenBSD users!

Your extrapolation is the only issue here as OP did not describe a linear
causal relationship.

That is not the only problem, look to a sample:

b20vaW50ZWwtYXRvbS1jMzMzOC1iZW5jaG1hcmtzLXdoeS1kZW52ZXJ0b24t

Going back to the subject, I still fail to figure out why some people
buy the hardware first and only after that they are concerned if
OpenBSD runs on it.

Re: Supermicro SuperServer E200-9A

2018-02-27 Thread Charlie Eddy
I would "bump" the issue for this specific case, but I think it is a very
laughable mistake to argue over the definition of new.

Rupert, I strongly suggest you actively search as quickly as possible as
Stuart suggested, or return your product. Not the first time this has
happened so don't take it personally.

It would also be cool if someone has:

1) A contact list of devs who are chill and want to program new things such
as a Supermicro
SuperServer E200-9A with an A2SDi-4C-HLN4F motherboard in it.

2) A specific recommendation for an alternative device that will provide
similar sweet functionality.

My idea of (2) is one of the following:
https://www.openbsd.org/octeon.html
https://www.openbsd.org/sgi.html
... but I could be totally wrong, I am not that smart and very busy.

Regards,
Charlie

This machine has a lot of rather new hardware in (C3000 Denverton) and
is really not at all supported yet.

I found a dmesg from RAMDISK_CD on one of these and it's full of failure
starting with being unable to enable acpi (so interrupt routing and
other things aren't working), plus we haven't even got skeleton pcidevs
entries for most of the devices (ahci, nic, etc).

Realistically, at the moment, I'd say the best chances of getting this
machine supported are if you can get similar hardware in the hands of a
developer if there is anyone with interest, skills and time to look into
it, remote debugging of a system in this state is going to be slow and
painful..
