Richard Hughes 56ac823af9 Set the protocol per-device not per-plugin
Some plugins have devices with more than one protocol. Logically the protocol
belongs to the device, not the plugin, and in the future we could use this to
further check firmware that's about to be deployed.

This is also not exported into libfwupd (yet?) as it's remains a debug-feature
only -- protocols are not actually required for devices to be added.

Redfish Support

Introduction

Redfish is an open industry standard specification and schema that helps enable simple and secure management of modern scalable platform hardware.

By specifying a RESTful interface and utilizing JSON and OData, Redfish helps customers integrate solutions within their existing tool chains.

Firmware Format

The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in an unspecified binary file format.

This plugin supports the following protocol ID:

  • org.dmtf.redfish

GUID Generation

These devices use the provided GUID provided in the SoftwareId parameter without modification. Devices without GUIDs are not supported.

Setting Service IP Manually

The service IP may not be automatically discoverable due to the absence of Type 0x42 entry in SMBIOS. In this case, you have to specify the service IP to RedfishUri in /etc/fwupd/redfish.conf

Take HPE Gen10 for example, the service IP can be found with the following command:

# ilorest --nologo list --selector=EthernetInterface. -j

This command lists all network interfaces, and the Redfish service IP belongs to one of "Manager Network" Interfaces. For example:

{
  "@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#EthernetInterface.EthernetInterface",
  "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Managers/1/EthernetInterfaces/1/",
  "@odata.type": "#EthernetInterface.v1_0_3.EthernetInterface",
  "Description": "Configuration of this Manager Network Interface",
  "HostName": "myredfish",
  "IPv4Addresses": [
    {
      "SubnetMask": "255.255.255.0",
      "AddressOrigin": "DHCP",
      "Gateway": "192.168.0.1",
      "Address": "192.168.0.133"
    }
  ],
  ...

In this example, the service IP is "192.168.0.133".

Since the conventional HTTP port is 80 and HTTPS port is 443, we can set RedfishUri to either "http://192.168.0.133:80" or "https://192.168.0.133:443" and verify the uri with

$ curl http://192.168.0.133:80/redfish/v1/

or

$ curl -k https://192.168.0.133:443/redfish/v1/
