What's inside
- Skill name
doca-bf3-deployment- Description
- Use this skill for BlueField-3 (BF3) day-1 platform bring-up via the classic RShim/BFB path: pushing a BlueField bundle (BFB) to the DPU over RShim with bfb-install from the host, the host-to-DPU TMFIFO management channel (tmfifo_net0, the 192.168.100.x convention), RShim daemon state and console-over-rshim, DPU mode selection (DPU/embedded-function vs separated-host/NIC mode) via mlxconfig, post-BFB recovery, a six-state BlueField-state classifier, and verifying the install (cat /etc/mlnx-release plus version checks). Trigger even when the user does not say "BF3" — typical phrasings include {push a BFB to my BlueField-3}, {bfb-install exited 0 but the DPU never came back}, {ping 192.168.100.2 works but ssh fails}, or {is DOCA on the host or the Arm side?}. BFB reflash, mlxconfig set, mode changes, and firmware burns are destructive: require explicit target-bound confirmation and load doca-hardware-safety. App launch, container deploy, env install, and the BF4 BMC-Redfish path route elsewhere.

- Compatibility
- No DOCA install required to read this skill (it is a platform-lifecycle overlay loaded against BF3 hardware); the bring-up and validation steps within DO require a real BlueField-3, host-side RShim access (PCIe or USB), the matching DOCA-Host install, and a BlueField bundle (BFB) image downloaded from the public DOCA Downloads page. The validation steps require a live DOCA install.
