* [y_cable] Support for initialization of new Daemon ycable to support ycables This PR also adds the commit in sonic-platform-daemons 94fa239 [y_cable] refactor y_cable to a seperate logic and new daemon from xcvrd (#219) Why I did it This PR separates the logic of Y-Cable from xcvrd. Before this change we were utilizing xcvrd daemon to control all aspects of Y-Cable right from initialization to processing requests from other entities like orch,linkmgr. Now we would have another daemon ycabled which will serve this purpose. Logically everything still remains the same from the perspective of other daemons. it also take care aspects like init/delete daemon from Y-Cable perspective. How I did it To serve the purpose we build a new wheel sonic_ycabled-1.0-py3-none-any.whl and install it inside pmon. We also initalize the daemon ycabled which serves our purpose for refactor inside pmon How to verify it Ran the changes with an image for dualtor tests on a 7050cx3 platform Signed-off-by: vaibhav-dahiya <vdahiya@microsoft.com> |

Changing the virtual device
You can control the hw sku and default factory configuration for the VS image by modifying the content of the file default_sku in this directory.
The format of default_sku is a single line:
<hw_key> <default_preset>
Allowable values for hw_key
| hw_key | Device |
|---|---|
| Force10-S6000 | Dell Force10 S6000 |
| brcm_gearbox_vs | Similar to Force10-S6000, but implements a virtual BRCM81724 Gearbox Phy |
Allowable values for default_preset
These include "t1", "l2", and "empty". See the file sonic-buildimage/src/sonic-config-engine/config_samples.py for details on how each default_preset value is interpreted.
Changing the hwsku of an existing VS switch
To change the default hwsku for a VS image that has already been built and installed, follow these steps:
-
Edit /usr/share/sonic/device/x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0/default_sku. For details, see the section below (Device Specific Documentation)
-
Edit /etc/sonic/config_db.json, and change the "hwsku" key in DEVICE_METADATA:localhost to match the hw_key used in default_sku. Example:
"DEVICE_METADATA": { "localhost": { ... "hwsku": "brcm_gearbox_vs", ... } }, ...
-
Reboot the switch
-
Use "show platform summary" to verify, and follow any steps specific to the platform, as needed, such as those described below for the brcm_gearbox_vs hwsku.
Device Specific Documentation
For general info on building, see https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/blob/master/README.md
Force-10-S6000
This is the default VS for SONiC. To enable, set contents of default_sku to:
Force10-S6000 t1
To build:
make init
make configure PLATFORM=vs
make target/sonic-vs.img.gz
brcm_gearbox_vs
This sku simulates a device with a Broadcom BRCM81724 gearbox PHY. To enable, set default_sku to:
brcm_gearbox_vs t1
To build (same as Force-10-S6000):
make init
make configure PLATFORM=vs
make target/sonic-vs.img.gz
To verify, install and bring up SONiC. There will be a new gbsyncd docker which is designed to respond to configuration directed towards the gearbox phy "switch". swss will create that gearbox switch on startup after detecting the gearbox is present (this is done by a short lived gearsyncd that runs in the swss docker).
The commands "show gearbox interfaces status" and "show gearbox phys status" can be used to verify the virtual gearbox phy has been created. See https://github.com/Azure/sonic-utilities/blob/master/doc/Command-Reference.md#gearbox for details.
