OpenOLT driver

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

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

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

Supported BAL API versions

2.4.3.6

Proprietary software requirements

The following proprietary source code is required to build OpenOLT driver.

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 OpenOLT driver are:

SW-BCM68620_2_4_3_6.zip
sdk-all-6.5.7.tar.gz
ACCTON_BAL_2.4.3.6-V201710131639.patch
OPENOLT_BAL_2.4.3.6.patch

Note - This repo does not contain the above four source packages. These are needed to build the OpenOLT driver executable. Contact Broadcom for access to these source packages.

System Requirements

OpenOLT driver builds on Ubuntu 14.04.

Build

Clone this repo either from the github mirror or from opencord gerrit:

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

Copy Broadcom sources (and patches) to the openolt/download directory:

cd openolt/download
cp SW-BCM68620_2_4_3_6.zip sdk-all-6.5.7.tar.gz ACCTON_BAL_2.4.3.6-V201710131639.patch OPENOLT_BAL_2.4.3.6.zip ./download

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

make prereq

Run "make" or "make all". This can take a while to complete the first time around since it builds ONL and Broadcom SDKs. Subsequent runs are much faster as they only build the OpenOLT driver source.

make

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

make deb

If the build succeeds, the openolt.deb package is created in the openolt/build directory. Copy openolt.deb to the OLT

scp openolt/build/openolt.deb root@10.6.0.201:~/.

Install

Install the openolt.deb package on the OLT

dpkg -i openolt.deb

Reboot the OLT

reboot

Run

Run bal_core_dist in one terminal:

cd /broadcom
./bal_core_dist -C 10.6.0.201:40000 -A 10.6.0.201:50000

Run openolt in another terminal:

cd /broadcom
./openolt  -C 10.6.0.201:40000 -A 10.6.0.201:50000

Connect from VOLTHA

In VOLTHA cli, preprovision and enable the OLT:

(voltha) preprovision_olt -t openolt -H 10.6.0.201:9191
(voltha) enable

Note:

OpenOLT driver uses port 9191 for its gRPC channel
Substitute 10.6.0.201 in above steps with mgmt IP of your OLT
