E • IPMI Firmware and OEM Extensions
The IPMI firmware provides all the mandatory standard commands specified in
the IPMI 1.5 framework. The firmware also provides functionality beyond that of
a normal Peripheral Manager, by implementing several commands in the OEM
range (per IPMI spec).
NOTE
IPMI is no longer supported. Older boards may have IPMI.
E.1 Standard IPMI Commands
The Abaco IPMI firmware implements all “Required” commands for a Peripheral
Manager per the IPMI 1.5 spec, as well as some of the “Optional” commands.
E.1.1 Get Device ID
This command is used to retrieve the Intelligent device’s Hardware Revision,
Firmware/Software Revision, and Sensor and Event Interface Command
specification revision information.
1. Depends on the version of firmware installed on the board.
2. Depends on the type of device.
