OWNERS: Add Manoj as an owner The bios-setting-mgr repository has been in maintenance mode for almost a couple of years now, and there seems to be a lack of active reviewers and maintainers. Given that we do not anticipate much active development in this repo, I would be happy to step in as a maintainer and ensure that we adhere to upstream coding, C++, and clang standards, keeping the repository in alignment with the latest practices. I look forward to helping with the ongoing maintenance and ensuring smooth support. Change-Id: I32874939a453b948a6375443629c2f29b644e3c7 Signed-off-by: Manojkiran Eda <manojkiran.eda@gmail.com>
Remote BIOS Configuration via BMC Overview Provides ability for the user to view and modify the BIOS setup configuration parameters remotely via BMC at any Host state. Modifications to the parameters take place upon the next system reboot or immediate based on the host firmware.

Remote BIOS Configuration (RBC) service exposes D-Bus methods for BIOS settings management operations.
RBC Manager Interface xyz.openbmc_project.BIOSConfig.Manager provides following methods, properties.
Object Path : /xyz/openbmc_project/BIOSConfig/Manager
xyz.openbmc_project.BIOSConfig.Manager
methods: SetAttribute -To set the particular BIOS attribute with new value. GetAttribute -To get the bios attribute current values and pending values if again.
Properties: ResetBIOSSettings - Contain reset BIOS setting type: Interface have to set NoAction this property, when Reset BIOS settings are informed to the BIOS. BaseBIOSTable - Save the whole BIOS table. map{attributeName,struct{attributeType,readonlyStatus,displayname, description,menuPath,current,default, array{struct{optionstring,optionvalue}}}} Example 1: {"DdrFreqLimit", {xyz.openbmc_project.BIOSConfig.Manager.AttributeType.String, false, "Memory Operating Speed Selection", "Force specific Memory Operating Speed or use Auto setting.", "Advanced/Memory Configuration/Memory Operating Speed Selection", "0x00", "0x0B", { {"OneOf", "auto"}, {"OneOf", "2133"}, {"OneOf", "2400"}, {"OneOf", "2664"}, {"OneOf", "2933"} } } } Example 2: {"BIOSSerialDebugLevel", {xyz.openbmc_project.BIOSConfig.Manager.AttributeType.Integer, false, "BIOS Serial Debug level", "BIOS Serial Debug level during system boot.", "Advanced/Debug Feature Selection", 0x00, 0x01, { {"MinBound", 0}, {"MaxBound", 4}, {"ScalarIncrement",1} } } }
Signals: AttributeChanged - Signal sent out when attribute is changed
