# Add a New System to OpenBMC
**Document Purpose:** How to add a new system to the OpenBMC distribution
**Audience:** Programmer familiar with OpenBMC
**Prerequisites:** Completed Development Environment Setup [Document][32]
## Overview
**Please note:** This document is no longer officially supported by the OpenBMC
team. It still contains a lot of useful information so it has been left here.
Ideally this guide would become a standalone document (outside of the
development tree) and would cover all of the different areas that must be
updated to add a new system.
This document will describe the following:
- Review background about Yocto and BitBake
- Creating a new system layer
- Populating this new layer
- Building the new system and testing in QEMU
- Adding configs for sensors, LEDs, inventories, etc.
## Background
The OpenBMC distribution is based on [Yocto](https://www.yoctoproject.org/).
Yocto is a project that allows developers to create custom Linux distributions.
OpenBMC uses Yocto to create their embedded Linux distribution to run on a
variety of devices.
Yocto has a concept of hierarchical layers. When you build a Yocto-based
distribution, you define a set of layers for that distribution. OpenBMC uses
many common layers from Yocto as well as some of its own layers. The layers
defined within OpenBMC can be found with the meta-\* directories in OpenBMC
[GitHub](https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc).
Yocto layers are a combination of different files that define packages to
incorporate in that layer. One of the key file types used in these layers is
[BitBake](https://github.com/openembedded/bitbake/blob/master/README) recipes.
BitBake is a fully functional language in itself. For this lesson, we will focus
on only the aspects of BitBake required to understand the process of adding a
new system.
## Start the Initial BitBake
For this work, you will need to have allocated at least 100GB of space to your
development environment and as much memory and CPU as possible. The initial
build of an OpenBMC distribution can take hours. Once that first build is done
though, future builds will use cached data from the first build, speeding the
process up by orders of magnitude.
So before we do anything else, let's get that first build going.
Follow the direction on the OpenBMC GitHub
[page](https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/blob/master/README.md#2-download-the-source)
for the Romulus system (steps 2-4).
## Create a New System
While the BitBake operation is going above, let's start creating our new system.
Similar to previous lessons, we'll be using Romulus as our reference. Our new
system will be called romulus-prime.
From your openbmc repository you cloned above, the Romulus layer is defined
within `meta-ibm/meta-romulus/`. The Romulus layer is defined within the `conf`
subdirectory. Under `conf` you will see a layout like this:
```
meta-ibm/meta-romulus/conf/
├── bblayers.conf.sample
├── conf-notes.txt
├── layer.conf
├── local.conf.sample
└── machine
└── romulus.conf
```
To create our new romulus-prime system we are going to start out by copying our
romulus layer.
```
cp -R meta-ibm/meta-romulus meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime
```
Let's review and modify each file needed in our new layer
1. meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime/conf/bblayers.conf.sample
This file defines the layers to pull into the meta-romulus-prime
distribution. You can see in it a variety of Yocto layers (meta, meta-poky,
meta-openembedded/meta-oe, ...). It also has OpenBMC layers like
meta-phosphor, meta-openpower, meta-ibm, and meta-ibm/meta-romulus.
The only change you need in this file is to change the two instances of
meta-romulus to meta-romulus-prime. This will ensure your new layer is used
when building your new system.
2. meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime/conf/conf-notes.txt
This file simply states the default target the user will build when working
with your new layer. This remains the same as it is common for all OpenBMC
systems.
3. meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime/conf/layer.conf
The main purpose of this file is to tell BitBake where to look for recipes
(\*.bb files). Recipe files end with a `.bb` extension and are what contain
all of the packaging logic for the different layers. `.bbappend` files are
also recipe files but provide a way to append onto `.bb` files. `.bbappend`
files are commonly used to add or remove something from a corresponding `.bb`
file in a different layer.
The only change you need in here is to find/replace the "romulus-layer" to
"romulus-prime-layer"
4. meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime/conf/local.conf.sample
This file is where all local configuration settings go for your layer. The
documentation in it is well done and it's worth a read.
The only change required in here is to change the `MACHINE` to
`romulus-prime`.
5. meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime/conf/machine/romulus.conf
This file describes the specifics for your machine. You define the kernel
device tree to use, any overrides to specific features you will be pulling
in, and other system specific pointers. This file is a good reference for the
different things you need to change when creating a new system (kernel device
tree, MRW, LED settings, inventory access, ...)
The first thing you need to do is rename the file to `romulus-prime.conf`.
**Note** If our new system really was just a variant of Romulus, with the
same hardware configuration, then we could have just created a new machine in
the Romulus layer. Any customizations for that system could be included in
the corresponding .conf file for that new machine. For the purposes of this
exercise we are assuming our romulus-prime system has at least a few hardware
changes requiring us to create this new layer.
## Build New System
This will not initially compile but it's good to verify a few things from the
initial setup are done correctly.
Do not start this step until the build we started at the beginning of this
lesson has completed.
1. Modify the conf for your current build
Within the shell you did the initial "bitbake" operation you need to reset
the conf file for your build. You can manually copy in the new files or just
remove it and let BitBake do it for you:
```
cd ..
rm -r ./build/conf
. setup romulus-prime
```
Run your "bitbake" command.
2. Nothing RPROVIDES 'romulus-prime-config'
This will be your first error after running "bitbake obmc-phosphor-image"
against your new system.
The openbmc/skeleton repository was used for initial prototyping of OpenBMC.
Within this repository is a
[configs](https://github.com/openbmc/skeleton/tree/master/configs) directory.
The majority of this config data is no longer used but until it is all
completely removed, you need to provide it.
Since this repository and file are on there way out, we'll simply do a quick
workaround for this issue.
Create a config files as follows:
```
cp meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime/recipes-phosphor/workbook/romulus-config.bb meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime/recipes-phosphor/workbook/romulus-prime-config.bb
vi meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime/recipes-phosphor/workbook/romulus-prime-config.bb
SUMMARY = "Romulus board wiring"
DESCRIPTION = "Board wiring information for the Romulus OpenPOWER system."
PR = "r1"
inherit config-in-skeleton
#Use Romulus config
do_make_setup() {
cp ${S}/Romulus.py \
${S}/obmc_system_config.py
cat <<EOF > ${S}/setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
setup(name='${BPN}',
version='${PR}',
py_modules=['obmc_system_config'],
)
EOF
}
```
Re-run your "bitbake" command.
3. Fetcher failure for URL: file://romulus.cfg
This is the config file required by the kernel. It's where you can put some
additional kernel config parameters. For our purposes here, just modify
romulus-prime to use the romulus.cfg file. We just need to add the `-prime`
to the prepend path.
```
vi ./meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-aspeed_%.bbappend
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend_romulus-prime := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
SRC_URI += "file://romulus.cfg"
```
Re-run your "bitbake" command.
4. No rule to make target arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-bmc-opp-romulus-prime.dtb
The .dtb file is a device tree blob file. It is generated during the Linux
kernel build based on its corresponding .dts file. When you introduce a new
OpenBMC system, you need to send these kernel updates upstream. The linked
email
[thread](https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/openbmc/2018-September/013260.html)
is an example of this process. Upstreaming to the kernel is a lesson in
itself. For this lesson, we will simply use the Romulus kernel config files.
```
vi ./meta-ibm/meta-romulus-prime/conf/machine/romulus-prime.conf
# Replace the ${MACHINE} variable in the KERNEL_DEVICETREE
# Use romulus device tree
KERNEL_DEVICETREE = "${KMACHINE}-bmc-opp-romulus.dtb"
```
Re-run your "bitbake" command.
## Boot New System
And you've finally built your new system's image! There are more customizations
to be done but let's first verify what you have boots.
Your new image will be in the following location from where you ran your
"bitbake" command:
```
./tmp/deploy/images/romulus-prime/obmc-phosphor-image-romulus-prime.static.mtd
```
Copy this image to where you've set up your QEMU session and re-run the command
to start QEMU (`qemu-system-arm` command from [dev-environment.md][32]), giving
your new file as input.
Once booted, you should see the following for the login:
```
romulus-prime login:
```
There you go! You've done the basics of creating, booting, and building a new
system. This is by no means a complete system but you now have the base for the
customizations you'll need to do for your new system.
## Further Customizations
There are a lot of other areas to customize when creating a new system.
### Kernel changes
This section describes how you can make changes to the kernel to port OpenBMC to
a new machine. The device tree is in
https://github.com/openbmc/linux/tree/dev-4.13/arch/arm/boot/dts. For examples,
see [aspeed-bmc-opp-romulus.dts][1] or a similar machine. Complete the following
steps to make kernel changes:
1. Add the new machine device tree:
- Describe the GPIOs, e.g. LED, FSI, gpio-keys, etc. You should get such info
from schematic.
- Describe the i2c buses and devices, which usually include various hwmon
sensors.
- Describe the other devices, e.g. uarts, mac.
- Usually the flash layout does not need to change. Just include
`openbmc-flash-layout.dtsi`.
2. Modify Makefile to build the device tree.
3. Reference to [openbmc kernel doc][31] on submitting patches to mailing list.
Note:
- In `dev-4.10`, there is common and machine-specific initialization code in
`arch/arm/mach-aspeed/aspeed.c` which is used to do common initializations and
perform specific settings in each machine. Starting in branch `dev-4.13`,
there is no such initialization code. Most of the inits are done with the
upstream clock and reset driver.
- If the machine needs specific settings (e.g. uart routing), please send mail
to [the mailing list][2] for discussion.
### Workbook
In legacy OpenBMC, there is a "workbook" to describe the machine's services,
sensors, FRUs, etc. This workbook is a python configuration file and it is used
by other services in [skeleton][3]. In the latest OpenBMC, the skeleton services
are mostly replaced by phosphor-xxx services and thus skeleton is deprecated.
But the workbook is still needed for now to make the build.
[meta-quanta][4] is an example that defines its own config in OpenBMC tree, so
that it does not rely on skeleton repo, although it is kind of dummy.
Before [e0e69be][26], or before v2.4 tag, OpenPOWER machines use several
configurations related to GPIO. For example, in [Romulus.py][5], the
configuration details are as follows:
```python
GPIO_CONFIG['BMC_POWER_UP'] = \
{'gpio_pin': 'D1', 'direction': 'out'}
GPIO_CONFIG['SYS_PWROK_BUFF'] = \
{'gpio_pin': 'D2', 'direction': 'in'}
GPIO_CONFIGS = {
'power_config' : {
'power_good_in' : 'SYS_PWROK_BUFF',
'power_up_outs' : [
('BMC_POWER_UP', True),
],
'reset_outs' : [
],
},
}
```
The PowerUp and PowerOK GPIOs are needed for the build to power on the chassis
and check the power state.
After that, the GPIO related configs are removed from the workbook, and replaced
by `gpio_defs.json`, e.g. [2a80da2][27] introduces the GPIO json config for
Romulus.
```json
{
"gpio_configs": {
"power_config": {
"power_good_in": "SYS_PWROK_BUFF",
"power_up_outs": [
{ "name": "SOFTWARE_PGOOD", "polarity": true },
{ "name": "BMC_POWER_UP", "polarity": true }
],
"reset_outs": []
}
},
"gpio_definitions": [
{
"name": "SOFTWARE_PGOOD",
"pin": "R1",
"direction": "out"
},
{
"name": "BMC_POWER_UP",
"pin": "D1",
"direction": "out"
}
]
}
```
Each machine shall define the similar json config to describe the GPIO
configurations.
### Hwmon Sensors
Hwmon sensors include sensors on board (e.g. temperature sensors, fans) and OCC
sensors. The config files path and name shall match the devices in device tree.
There is detailed document in openbmc [doc/architecture/sensor-architecture][6].
Here let's take Romulus as an example. The config files are in
[meta-romulus/recipes-phosphor/sensors][7] which includes sensors on board and
sensors of OCC, where on board sensors are via i2c and occ sensors are via FSI.
- [w83773g@4c.conf][8] defines the `w83773` temperature sensor containing 3
temperatures:
```
LABEL_temp1 = "outlet"
...
LABEL_temp2 = "inlet_cpu"
...
LABEL_temp3 = "inlet_io"
```
This device is defined in its device tree as [w83773g@4c][9]. When BMC starts,
the udev rule will start `phosphor-hwmon` and it will create temperature
sensors on below DBus objects based on its sysfs attributes.
```
/xyz/openbmc_project/sensors/temperature/outlet
/xyz/openbmc_project/sensors/temperature/inlet_cpu
/xyz/openbmc_project/sensors/temperature/inlet_io
```
- [pwm-tacho-controller@1e786000.conf][10] defines the fans and the config is
similar as above, the difference is that it creates `fan_tach` sensors.
- [occ-hwmon.1.conf][11] defines the occ hwmon sensor for master CPU. This
config is a bit different, that it shall tell `phosphor-hwmon` to read the
label instead of directly getting the index of the sensor, because CPU cores
and DIMMs could be dynamic, e.g. CPU cores could be disabled, DIMMs could be
pulled out.
```
MODE_temp1 = "label"
MODE_temp2 = "label"
...
MODE_temp31 = "label"
MODE_temp32 = "label"
LABEL_temp91 = "p0_core0_temp"
LABEL_temp92 = "p0_core1_temp"
...
LABEL_temp33 = "dimm6_temp"
LABEL_temp34 = "dimm7_temp"
LABEL_power2 = "p0_power"
...
```
- The `MODE_temp* = "label"` tells that if it sees `tempX`, it shall read the
label which is the sensor id.
- And `LABEL_temp* = "xxx"` tells the sensor name for the corresponding sensor
id.
- For example, if `temp1_input` is 37000 and `temp1_label` is 91 in sysfs,
`phosphor-hwmon` knows `temp1_input` is for sensor id 91, which is
`p0_core0_temp`, so it creates
`/xyz/openbmc_project/sensors/temperature/p0_core0_temp` with sensor
value 37000.
- For Romulus, the power sensors do not need to read label since all powers
are available on a system.
- For Witherspoon, the power sensors are similar to temperature sensors, that
it shall tell hwmon to read the `function_id` instead of directly getting
the index of the sensor.
### LEDs
Several parts are involved for LED.
1. In kernel dts, LEDs shall be described, e.g. [romulus dts][12] describes 3
LEDs, `fault`, `identify` and `power`.
```
leds {
compatible = "gpio-leds";
fault {
gpios = <&gpio ASPEED_GPIO(N, 2) GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
};
identify {
gpios = <&gpio ASPEED_GPIO(N, 4) GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
};
power {
gpios = <&gpio ASPEED_GPIO(R, 5) GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
};
};
```
2. In machine layer, LEDs shall be configured via yaml to describe how it
functions, e.g. [Romulus led yaml][28]:
```
bmc_booted:
power:
Action: 'Blink'
DutyOn: 50
Period: 1000
Priority: 'On'
power_on:
power:
Action: 'On'
DutyOn: 50
Period: 0
Priority: 'On'
...
```
It tells the LED manager to set the `power` LED to blink when BMC is ready
and booted, and set it on when host is powered on.
3. At runtime, LED manager automatically set LEDs on/off/blink based on the
above yaml config.
4. LED can be accessed manually via /xyz/openbmc_project/led/, e.g.
- Get identify LED state:
```
curl -b cjar -k https://$bmc/xyz/openbmc_project/led/physical/identify
```
- Set identify LED to blink:
```
curl -b cjar -k -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"data": "xyz.openbmc_project.Led.Physical.Action.Blink" }' https://$bmc/xyz/openbmc_project/led/physical/identify/attr/State
```
5. When an error related to a FRU occurs, an event log is created in logging
with a CALLOUT path. [phosphor-fru-fault-monitor][29] monitors the logs:
- Assert the related fault LED group when a log with the CALLOUT path is
generated;
- De-assert the related fault LED group when the log is marked as "Resolved"
or deleted.
**Note**: This yaml config can be automatically generated by
[phosphor-mrw-tools][13] from its MRW, see [Witherspoon example][14].
### Inventories and other sensors
Inventories, other sensors (e.g. CPU/DIMM temperature), and FRUs are defined in
ipmi's yaml config files.
E.g. [meta-romulus/recipes-phosphor/ipmi][15]
- `romulus-ipmi-inventory-map` defines regular inventories, e.g. CPU, memory,
motherboard.
- `phosphor-ipmi-fru-properties` defines extra properties of the inventories.
- `phosphor-ipmi-sensor-inventory` defines the sensors from IPMI.
- `romulus-ipmi-inventory-sel` defines inventories used for IPMI SEL.
For inventory map and fru-properties, they are similar between different
systems, you can refer to this example and make one for your system.
For ipmi-sensor-inventory, the sensors from IPMI are different between systems,
so you need to define your own sensors, e.g.
```
0x08:
sensorType: 0x07
path: /org/open_power/control/occ0
...
0x1e:
sensorType: 0x0C
path: /system/chassis/motherboard/dimm0
...
0x22:
sensorType: 0x07
path: /system/chassis/motherboard/cpu0/core0
```
The first value `0x08`, `0x1e` and `0x22` are the sensor id of IPMI, which is
defined in MRW. You should follow the system's MRW to define the above config.
**Note**: The yaml configs can be automatically generated by
[phosphor-mrw-tools][13] from its MRW, see [Witherspoon example][14].
### Fans
[phosphor-fan-presence][16] manages all the services about fan:
- `phosphor-fan-presence` checks if a fan is present, creates the fan DBus
objects in inventory and update the `Present` property.
- `phosphor-fan-monitor` checks if a fan is functional, and update the
`Functional` property of the fan Dbus object.
- `phosphor-fan-control` controls the fan speed by setting the fan speed target
based on conditions, e.g. temperatures.
- `phosphor-cooling-type` checks and sets if the system is air-cooled or
water-cooled by setting properties of
`/xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/chassis` object.
All the above services are configurable, e.g. by yaml config. So the machine
specific configs shall be written when porting OpenBMC to a new machine.
Taking Romulus as an example, it is air-cooled and has 3 fans without GPIO
presence detection.
#### Fan presence
Romulus has no GPIO detection for fans, so it checks fan tach sensor:
```
- name: fan0
path: /system/chassis/motherboard/fan0
methods:
- type: tach
sensors:
- fan0
```
The yaml config tells that
- It shall create `/system/chassis/motherboard/fan0` object in inventory.
- It shall check fan0 tach sensor (`/sensors/fan_tach/fan0`) to set `Present`
property on the fan0 object.
#### Fan monitor
Romulus fans use pwm to control the fan speed, where pwm ranges from 0 to 255,
and the fan speed ranges from 0 to about 7000. So it needs a factor and offset
to mapping the pwm to fan speed:
```
- inventory: /system/chassis/motherboard/fan0
allowed_out_of_range_time: 30
deviation: 15
num_sensors_nonfunc_for_fan_nonfunc: 1
sensors:
- name: fan0
has_target: true
target_interface: xyz.openbmc_project.Control.FanPwm
factor: 21
offset: 1600
```
The yaml config tells that:
1. It shall use `FanPwm` as target interface of the tach sensor.
2. It shall calculate the expected fan speed as `target * 21 + 1600`.
3. The deviation is `15%`, so if the fan speed is out of the expected range for
more than 30 seconds, fan0 shall be set as non-functional.
#### Fan control
The fan control service requires 4 yaml configuration files:
- `zone-condition` defines the cooling zone conditions. Romulus is always
air-cooled, so this config is as simple as defining an `air_cooled_chassis`
condition based on the cooling type property.
```
- name: air_cooled_chassis
type: getProperty
properties:
- property: WaterCooled
interface: xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Decorator.CoolingType
path: /xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/chassis
type: bool
value: false
```
- `zone-config` defines the cooling zones. Romulus has only one zone:
```
zones:
- zone: 0
full_speed: 255
default_floor: 195
increase_delay: 5
decrease_interval: 30
```
It defines that the zone full speed and default floor speed for the fans, so
the fan pwm will be set to 255 if it is in full speed, and set to 195 if fans
are in default floor speed.
- `fan-config` defines which fans are controlled in which zone and which target
interface shall be used, e.g. below yaml config defines fan0 shall be
controlled in zone0 and it shall use `FanPwm` interface.
```
- inventory: /system/chassis/motherboard/fan0
cooling_zone: 0
sensors:
- fan0
target_interface: xyz.openbmc_project.Control.FanPwm
...
```
- `events-config` defines the various events and its handlers, e.g. which fan
targets shall be set in which temperature. This config is a bit complicated,
the [example event yaml][17] provides documents and examples. Romulus example:
```
- name: set_air_cooled_speed_boundaries_based_on_ambient
groups:
- name: zone0_ambient
interface: xyz.openbmc_project.Sensor.Value
property:
name: Value
type: int64_t
matches:
- name: propertiesChanged
actions:
- name: set_floor_from_average_sensor_value
map:
value:
- 27000: 85
- 32000: 112
- 37000: 126
- 40000: 141
type: std::map<int64_t, uint64_t>
- name: set_ceiling_from_average_sensor_value
map:
value:
- 25000: 175
- 27000: 255
type: std::map<int64_t, uint64_t>
```
The above yaml config defines the fan floor and ceiling speed in
`zone0_ambient`'s different temperatures. E.g.
1. When the temperature is lower than 27 degreesC, the floor speed (pwm)
shall be set to 85.
2. When the temperature is between 27 and 32 degrees C, the floor speed (pwm)
shall be set to 112, etc.
With above configs, phosphor-fan will run the fan presence/monitor/control logic
as configured specifically for the machine.
**Note**: Romulus fans are simple. For a more complicated example, refer to
[Witherspoon fan configurations][18]. The following are the additional functions
of Witherspoon fan configuration:
- It checks GPIO for fan presence.
- It checks GPIO to determine if the system is air or water cooled.
- It has more sensors and more events in fan control.
### GPIOs
This section mainly focuses on the GPIOs in device tree that shall be monitored.
E.g.:
- A GPIO may represent a signal of host checkstop.
- A GPIO may represent a button press.
- A GPIO may represent if a device is attached or not.
They are categorized as `phosphor-gpio-presence` for checking presences of a
device, and `phosphor-gpio-monitor` for monitoring a GPIO.
#### GPIOs in device tree
All the GPIOs to be monitored shall be described in the device tree. E.g.
```
gpio-keys {
compatible = "gpio-keys";
checkstop {
label = "checkstop";
gpios = <&gpio ASPEED_GPIO(J, 2) GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
linux,code = <ASPEED_GPIO(J, 2)>;
};
id-button {
label = "id-button";
gpios = <&gpio ASPEED_GPIO(Q, 7) GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
linux,code = <ASPEED_GPIO(Q, 7)>;
};
};
```
The following code describes two GPIO keys, one for `checkstop` and the other
for `id-button`, where the key code is calculated from [aspeed-gpio.h][24]:
```
#define ASPEED_GPIO_PORT_A 0
#define ASPEED_GPIO_PORT_B 1
...
#define ASPEED_GPIO_PORT_Y 24
#define ASPEED_GPIO_PORT_Z 25
#define ASPEED_GPIO_PORT_AA 26
...
#define ASPEED_GPIO(port, offset) \
((ASPEED_GPIO_PORT_##port * 8) + offset)
```
#### GPIO Presence
Witherspoon and Zaius have examples for gpio presence.
- [Witherspoon][19]:
```
INVENTORY=/system/chassis/motherboard/powersupply0
DEVPATH=/dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio-keys-event
KEY=104
NAME=powersupply0
DRIVERS=/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/ibm-cffps,3-0069
```
It checks GPIO key 104 for `powersupply0`'s presence, creates the inventory
object and bind or unbind the driver.
- [Zaius][20]:
```
INVENTORY=/system/chassis/pcie_card_e2b
DEVPATH=/dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio-keys-event
KEY=39
NAME=pcie_card_e2b
```
It checks GPIO key 39 for `pcie_card_e2b`'s presence, and creates the
inventory object.
#### GPIO monitor
Typical usage of GPIO monitor is to monitor the checkstop event from the host,
or button presses.
- [checkstop monitor][21] is a common service for OpenPOWER machines.
```
DEVPATH=/dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio-keys-event
KEY=74
POLARITY=1
TARGET=obmc-host-crash@0.target
```
By default it monitors GPIO key 74, and if it is triggered, it tells systemd
to start `obmc-host-crash@0.target`. For systems using a different GPIO pin
for checkstop, it simply overrides the default one by specifying its own
config file in meta-machine layer. E.g. [Zaius's checkstop config][22].
**Note**: when the key is pressed, `phosphor-gpio-monitor` starts the target
unit and exits.
- [id-button monitor][23] is an example service on Romulus to monitor ID button
press.
```
DEVPATH=/dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio-keys-event
KEY=135
POLARITY=1
TARGET=id-button-pressed.service
EXTRA_ARGS=--continue
```
It monitors GPIO key 135 for the button press and starts
`id-button-pressed.service`, that handles the event by setting the identify
LED group's `Assert` property. **Note**: It has an extra argument,
`--continue`, that tells `phosphor-gpio-monitor` to not exit and continue
running when the key is pressed.
