- Based on initial server board
- Uses whiptail as opposed to fbwhiptail (was slow and output fuzzy)
- Simple fix to have dual KVM(BMC) and vga output for consoles
Reasoning for dropping fbwhiptail support is that:
- it is impossible to output framebuffer content through remote BMC console.
- A workstation board config could output to fbwhiptail for VGA and give remote recovery shell access through BMC
- If someone shows interest for that, qemu-coreboot-tpm boards can be used as reference.
- slowness/fuzzyness of fbwhiptail output through AST would still need to be fixed in kernel drivers. Not a priority here.
Limitation:
- Since whiptail is sent to both consoles:
- If one console goes to recovery shell, recovery shell access invalidate TPM PCR4 measurements.
- The other console won't be aware that TPM measurements were invalidated, and will consequently:
- not be able to unseal TOTP if refreshed
- not be able to unseal TPM disk unlock key on default boot
- A reboot will fix this.
