VOL-1257 - OpenOLT Driver Agent should support platforms-defined port topologies

Updated openolt driver initial activation sequence with BAL to query and
extract the topology information. This includes both number of ports as
well as the technology for each port. Presently, it is assumed that
all ports use same technology until the adapter resource manager supports
per-port technonologies. Updated hardcoded iterator extents to use
the dynamic results via NumPonIf_() and NumNniIf_(). Added construct
to allow vendors to specify their vendor/model name used in
DeviceInfo discovery.

OpenOLT agent

The OpenOLT agent runs on white box Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) and provides a gRPC-based management and control interface to OLTs.

The OpenOLT agent is used by VOLTHA through the OpenOLT adapter.

OpenOLT agent currently supports Broadcom's Maple/Qumran chipsets.

Hardware requirements

A list of tested devices and optics can be found in the CORD hardware requirements guide, in the R-CORD access equipment and optics section.

Pre-built debian packages of OpenOLT agent for Accton/Edgecore ASFVOLT16

Accton/Edgecore makes available pre-built debian packages of OpenOLT agent to their customers. Contact your Accton/Edgecore representative for more information.

The pre-built debian packages have been tested on this specific version of OpenNetworkingLinux (ONL).

More info on how to install ONL can be found on the official ONL website.

Install OpenOLT

Copy the debian package to the OLT. For example:

scp openolt.deb root@10.6.0.201:~/.

Install the openolt.deb package using dpkg:

dpkg -i openolt.deb

Run OpenOLT as a Linux service

Rebooting the OLT (after the installation) will start bal_core_dist and openolt as init.d services:

Rebooting the OLT will start the bal_core_dist and openolt services:

reboot

The services can also be stopped/started manually:

service bal_core_dist stop
service openolt stop
service bal_core_dist start
service openolt start

Check the status of the services:

service bal_core_dist status
service openolt status

Run OpenOLT in foreground

Running the bal_core_dist and/or openolt services in the forground is useful for development and debugging. Make sure to first stop the services if they are running in background.

Open a terminal and run the Broadcom BAL software (bal_core_dist):

cd /broadcom
./bal_core_dist -C :55001

While the first executable still runs (even in background), open another terminal and run openolt:

cd /broadcom
./openolt -C 127.0.0.1:55001

NOTE: the two executables will remain open in the terminals, unless they are put in background.

Connect from VOLTHA

At the VOLTHA CLI, preprovision and enable the OLT:

(voltha) preprovision_olt -t openolt -H YOUR_OLT_MGMT_IP:9191
(voltha) enable

Additional notes

  • 9191 is the TCP port that the OpenOLT agent uses for its gRPC channel
  • In the commands above, you can either use the loopback IP address (127.0.0.1) or substitute all its occurrences with the management IP of your OLT

Build OpenOLT

Supported BAL API versions

Currently, OpenOLT support the Broadcom BAL APIs, version 2.6.0.1.

Proprietary software requirements

The following proprietary source code is required to build the OpenOLT agent.

  • SW-BCM68620_<BAL_VER>.zip - Broadcom BAL source and Maple SDK
  • sdk-all-<SDK_VER>.tar.gz - Broadcom Qumran SDK
  • ACCTON_BAL_<BAL_VER>-<ACCTON_VER>.patch - Accton/Edgecore's patch
  • OPENOLT_BAL_<BAL_VER>.patch - A patch to Broadcom software to allow compilation with C++ based openolt

The versions currently supported by the OpenOLT agent are:

  • SW-BCM68620_2_6_0_1.zip
  • sdk-all-6.5.7.tar.gz
  • ACCTON_BAL_2.6.0.1-V201804301043.patch
  • OPENOLT_BAL_2.6.0.1.patch

NOTE: the repository does not contain the above four source packages. These are needed to build the OpenOLT agent executable. Contact Broadcom to access the source packages.

System Requirements

OpenOLT agent builds on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Build procedure

Clone the openolt repository either from GitHub or from OpenCORD Gerrit:

git clone git@github.com:opencord/openolt.git
or
git clone https://gerrit.opencord.org/openolt

Copy the Broadcom source and patch files to the openolt/download directory:

cd openolt/download
cp SW-BCM68620_2_6_0_1.zip sdk-all-6.5.7.tar.gz ACCTON_BAL_2.6.0.1-V201804301043.patch OPENOLT_BAL_2.6.0.1.patch ./download

Run Autoconfig to generate the appropriate makefile scaffolding for the desired target

cd openolt
./configure

Run make prereq to install the package dependencies. This is usually a one-time thing, unless there is a change in the dependencies.

make DEVICE=asfvolt16 prereq

Run make. This can take a while to complete the first time, since it builds ONL and the Broadcom SDKs. Following runs will be much faster, as they only build the OpenOLT agent source.

make DEVICE=asfvolt16

If the build process succeeds, libraries and executables will be created in the openolt/build directory.

Optionally, build the debian package that will be installed on the OLT.

make DEVICE=asfvolt16 deb

If the build process succeeds, the openolt.deb package will be created as well in the openolt/build directory.

Cleanup

To cleanup the repository and start the build procedure again, run:

make DEVICE=asfvolt16 clean-all

FAQ

How to change speed of ASFVOLT16 NNI interface?

Auto-negotiation on the NNI (uplink) interfaces is not tested. By default, the OpenOLT agent sets the speed of the NNI interfaces to 100G. To downgrade the network interface speed to 40G, add the following lines at the end of the qax.soc (/broadcom/qax.soc) configuration file. A restart of the bal_core_dist and openolt executables is required after the change.

port ce128 sp=40000

This change can also be made at run-time from the CLI of the bal_core_dist:

d/s/shell
port ce128 speed=40000

(It is safe to ignore the error msgs.)

How do I configure rate limiting?

By default, the full 1G xgs-pon bandwidth is available to an ONU when no rate-limiting is applied. There is experimental support available to change the default bandwith and also rate-limit specific ONUs from the voltha CLI.

Configure default rate limit (PIR = 5Mbps):

(voltha) xpon
(voltha-xpon )traffic_descriptor_profile create -n "default" -f 1000 -a 1000 -m 5000

Configure ONU BRCM12345678 to be rate-limited to 100Mbps:

(voltha) xpon
(voltha-xpon )traffic_descriptor_profile create -n "default" -f 50000 -a 70000 -m 100000

Why does the Broadcom ONU not forward eapol packets?

The firmware on the ONU is likely not setup to forward 802.1x on the linux bridge. Drop down to the shell in the Broadcom ONU's console and configure the Linux bridge to forward 802.1x.

> sh
# echo 8 > /sys/class/net/bronu513/bridge/group_fwd_mask

How do I check packet counters on the ONU?

LAN port packet counters:

bs /b/e port/index=lan{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}

WAN port packt counters:

bs /b/e port/index=wan0
