About

WARNING: guides IRREVERSIBLE BlueField-4 hardware operations (PLDM firmware burns, ISO reflashes, power cycles, BMC factory resets); every mutating step is governed by doca-hardware-safety (window, rollback). BlueField-4 only: BlueField-3 bring-up is doca-bf3-deployment. Use this skill for BlueField-4 (BF4) day-1 platform bring-up from the BMC: installing the BlueField/DOCA bundle ISO onto the DPU (Grace, the Arm complex) over UEFI HTTP Boot, PXE, or Redfish Virtual Media; the PLDM firmware-update flow (BMC, NIC firmware, SBIOS, ERoT) via the Redfish UpdateService and pldmtool; and a Grace Ubuntu image with optional cloud-init. Trigger on BlueField-4/BF4 bring-up phrasings even without "BF4": {bring up my new BlueField-4}, {the BlueField ISO will not boot over HTTP from the BMC}, {attach BF4 virtual media via Redfish}, {BF4 firmware Task stuck at Running}, {prepare a BlueField-4 host: platform support, version alignment, safest first smoke test}. Application launch and library APIs belong to other skills.

Use cases: testing, productivity

No DOCA install is required to read this skill; it teaches the documented BlueField-4 BMC-driven bring-up flows (UEFI HTTP Boot, PXE, Redfish Virtual Media, PLDM firmware update). Executing the steps requires a BlueField-4 with an out-of-band-reachable BMC, a host or HTTP/HTTPS server to host the bundle ISO, and the target versions from the public BlueField/DOCA release notes. The validation steps require a live DOCA install.
