Why I did it
Pre-requisite: #8269
To be able to generate multi-asic KVM image.
To provide flexibility to generate single asic or both single and multi-asic images.
How I did it
Add a new build param, BUILD_MULTIASIC_KVM, if set to "y", the multi-asic VS target KVM images will be generated. If not, only single asic VS image will be generated.
Make changes to build_image.sh to generate 4-asic and 6-asic KVM images if BUILD_MULTIASIC_KVM parameter is set to y
How to verify it
Generate single-asic VS as currently done, no change in build steps:
make configure PLATFORM=vs
make target/sonic-vs.img.gz - will generate only single asic KVM image.
make BUILD_MULTIASIC_KVM=y target/sonic-vs.img.gz - will generate single asic and multi-asic KVM images.
should generate:
sonic-vs.bin
sonic-vs.img.gz
sonic-4asic-vs.img.gz
sonic-6asic-vs.img.gz
Introduce new sonic-buildimage images for Broadcom DNX ASIC family.
sonic-broadcom-dnx.bin
sonic-aboot-broadcom-dnx.swi
How I did it
NO CHANGE to existing make commands
make init; make configure PLATFORM=broadcom; make target/sonic-aboot-broadcom.swi; make target/sonic-broadcom.bin
The difference now is that it will result in new broadcom images for DNX asic family as well.
sonic-broadcom.bin, sonic-broadcom-dnx.bin
sonic-aboot-broadcom.swi, sonic-aboot-broadcom-dnx.swi
Note: This PR also adds support for Broadcom SAI 5.0 (based on 1.8 SAI ) for DNX based platform + changes in platform x86_64-arista_7280cr3_32p4 bcm config files and platform_env.conf files
Images built from master branch and installed on devices where we mount /var/lib/docker in RAM (because the HDD is small) were failing to boot properly. The Docker service failed to start because /var/lib/docker was filled to 100%. This is due to the increase in total number of containers in the image.
As of today, /var/lib/docker contains 1.3 GB of data. Therefore, this PR increases the size of the ramdisk to 1.5 GB to accommodate all the containers. Example output below from an Arista-7050-QX32 SKU:
```
admin@sonic:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
...
tmpfs 1.5G 1.3G 172M 89% /var/lib/docker
...
```
when device disk is small, do not unzip dockerfs.tar.gz on disk.
keep the tar file on the disk, unzip to tmpfs in the initrd phase.
enabled this for 7050-qx32

1. "make target/sonic-broadcom.raw" will create the compressed dd'able image.
2. This will also update the grub config files (device/dell/*/nos_to_sonic_grub.cfg) with the image versions.
* Single image

* Update syncd service. Add HW mgmt to Mellanox single image.
* Add single image template for Broadcom platform.
SKU should be provided during configure:
make configure PLATFORM=broadcom SKU=Force10-S6000
* Add single image template for Cavium platform.
SKU should be provided during configure:
make configure PLATFORM=cavium SKU=AS7512
