| Implement to represent a PLDM Entity (see chapter 9 of |
| www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0248_1.2.0.pdf). |
| |
| Any OpenBMC implementation must add this interface on a D-Bus object that |
| represents a PLDM Entity. For example, if an app is creating D-Bus objects |
| consisting of PLDM FRU fields (DSP0257) as D-Bus properties, to be then |
| converted to inventory D-Bus objects (by apps like EM and PIM), then the app |
| may implement this interface. In this example, this interface helps identify |
| what the FRU's type is, in addition to instance and containment information. |
| |
| PLDM stands for Platform Level Data Model. More information about PLDM (and |
| MCTP) can be found at https://www.dmtf.org/standards/pmci |
