Description

Right now the host OS artifact contains both the phase 1 and phase 2 images for Gimlet. In Cosmo, we will have a new phase 1 image. Currently oxidecomputer/helios#196 tracks how this will change (still tbd). However, whatever logic we have for picking out and assuming image/rom is appropriate for Gimlet is not going to work in the face of Cosmo. This will likely have impacts in everything from wicket through to nexus itself.

Research direction

Start with oxidecomputer/helios#196, which tracks the pending Cosmo image changes, then trace where the host OS artifact assumes image/rom from wicket through nexus. Done means the artifact and downstream logic can handle Gimlet and Cosmo having multiple ROM images without relying on the current single-image assumption.
