RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
rshim 2.0.4 is not compatible with the newer BlueField-2 BMC cards.
There is an issue when using the rshim console to manage the card. No input/output is received when using minicom to the /dev/rshim0/console device.
Updating to 2.0.6 resolves this problem.

I have previously updated RHEL-8.5's rshim to 2.0.5, which had changes for BlueField-2. And 8.6's rshim inherited that work. Would you mind trying out one of those to see if 2.0.5 provides the functionality you are looking for.
Upstream's 2.0.6 is still a work in progress. There were 2 commits added to 2.06-1, and 7 commits to 2.0.6-2. If 2.0.5 doesn't work for you, I can look into backporting the necessary commits from these.

Hi Dean, sorry about the delay.
Yes, using RHEL 8.5 the problem is solved as rshim 2.0.5 is sufficient for solving the problem I was facing.
At the time of filing the bug, we were working with specifically RHEL 8.4 but that is no longer the case.
Thanks for your help!
