Thanks, I'm still learning.

I've pushed everything here: https://github.com/Rwantare/qemu/tree/aspeed-ibt
The other patches are out for review and will likely change before merging

Sure, there's not much else there, one of the bmc firmwares I'm testing with
is a quanta-q71l-bmc which should build from OpenBMC.

Host:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-nographic -m 4G \
-kernel arch/x86/boot/bzImage -append "console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=ttyS0" \
-serial /dev/tty -monitor /dev/pts/9 -initrd u-root.cpio \
-chardev socket,id=ipmichr0,host=localhost,port=9999,reconnect=10 \
-device ipmi-bmc-extern,chardev=ipmichr0,id=bmc0 \
-device isa-ipmi-bt,bmc=bmc0,irq=10 -nodefaults

BMC:
qemu-system-arm \
-machine quanta-q71l-bmc \
-nographic \
-drive file=path/to/openbmc/image,if=mtd,bus=0,unit=0,snapshot=on \
-chardev socket,id=ipmichr1,host=localhost,port=9999,server=on,wait=off \
-device "ipmi-host-extern,chardev=ipmichr1,responder=/machine/soc/ibt"

Noted, I think I should be able to send the BT commits from
https://github.com/Rwantare/qemu/tree/aspeed-ibt
after the others are reviewed and merged.
For now, the irq setup is my point of confusion.

Thanks,
