From acd290b01726294d12f93d64e9ff1dd14f524d61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?C=C3=A9dric=20Le=20Goater?= Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2025 16:16:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] aspeed: Deprecate the sonorapass-bmc machine MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The 'sonorapass-bmc' machine represents a lab server that never entered production. There are no functional tests for this machine which makes harder to determine when something becomes deprecated or unused. Since the machine does not rely on any specific device models, it can be replaced by the 'ast2500-evb' machine using the 'fmc-model' option to specify the flash type. The I2C devices connected to the board can be defined via the QEMU command line.
