Rename CATERR to IERR

CATERR is ambiguous because it represents two types of errors: IERR and
MCERR. This changes the name to IERR to be more specific.

Intel IPMI OEM support library

This component is intended to provide Intel-specific IPMI[3] command handlers for OpenBMC. These handlers are intended to integrate BMC with servers based on Intel architecture.

Overview

intel-ipmi-oem serves as an extension[1] to OpenBMC IPMI daemon[2]. It is compiled as a shared library and intended to both:

  • override existing implementation of standard IPMI commands to comply with Intel-specific solutions,
  • provide implementation for non-standard OEM extensions.

Capabilities

Related features provided by the library are grouped in separate source files. Main extensions to vanilla OpenBMC IPMI stack are the following:

  • Acquiring SMBIOS data over IPMI
  • Commands for better integration with Intel hardware
  • Firmware update extensions
  • Extended parsing of IPMI Platform Events[4]
