Table 8-13 System Boot Options Parameter #100 - SET Command Usage
Byte Description
Request Data
1 Bit 7: when set to 1, the storage area on the IPMC is locked, i.e. no other
software can access it. This should be set, before doing any
modifications and cleared again after the final access.
Bits 6..0: must contain the value: 100, indicating this OEM system boot
option.
2 Set Selector
Must be set to 0 (user area). You can only write to the user area,
therefore no other values are supported.
3 Block Selector
Zero based index of the 16-byte block which you want to write to.
Index 0 refers to the first block of 16 bytes, which includes the first two
bytes which indicate the boot parameter data size.
Depending on the total length of the boot option data, your software
may need to write several blocks of 16 bytes in a row, each individually
addressed via the block selector.
4 .. n (n <= 19) Data which you want to write into the addressed block. This will be a
chunk of the boot parameter data. If less than 16 bytes are written,
then only the provided data is written, the remaining bytes in the
addressed storage area block are left unchanged.
Response Data
1 0x00: write successful
0x80: boot parameter storage not supported by the IPMC
0x81: storage area is locked by another software entity
0x82: illegal write-access
0xC9: block selector is outside of the allowed range.
