BMC Debug Trigger

debug-trigger listens for an external signal that the BMC is in some way unresponsive. When the signal is received it triggers a crash to collect debug data and reboots the system in the hope that it will recover.

Trigger sources

debug-trigger implements a simple protocol over an LPC KCS device as its trigger source.

Debug actions

debug-trigger implements a single action once the trigger event is received, which is to crash the kernel via /proc/sysrq-trigger. For systems with kdump configured this results in collection of system state as context for why the system was externally unresponsive.
