To Build

To build this project, run the following shell commands:

meson setup build meson compile -C build

To test:

dbus-run-session meson test -C build

To Run Server

Running the server requires a serial port (e.g. /dev/ttyS0):

touch obmc-console.conf ./obmc-console-server --config obmc-console.conf ttyS0

To Connect Client

To connect to the server, simply run the client:

./obmc-console-client

To disconnect the client, use the standard ~. combination.

Underlying design

This shows how the host UART connection is abstracted within the BMC as a Unix domain socket.
