At a high-level, code in this repository belongs to one of the following three components.
This library provides handlers for incoming PLDM request messages. It provides for a registration as well as a plug-in mechanism. The library is implemented in modern C++, and handles OpenBMC's platform specifics.
The handlers are of the form
Response handler(Request payload, size_t payloadLen)
Source files are named according to the PLDM Type, for eg base.[hpp/cpp], fru.[hpp/cpp], etc.
This will support OEM or vendor-specific functions and semantic information. Following directory structure has to be used:
pldm repo
|---- oem
|----<oem_name>
|----libpldmresponder
|---<oem based handler files>
<oem_name> - This folder must be created with the name of the OEM/vendor in lower case. Folders named libpldm and libpldmresponder must be created under the folder <oem_name>
Files having the oem functionality for the libpldmresponder library should be placed under the folder oem/<oem_name>/libpldmresponder. They must be adhering to the rules mentioned under the libpldmresponder section above.
Once the above is done a meson option has to be created in pldm/meson_options.txt with its mapped compiler flag to enable conditional compilation.
For consistency would recommend using "oem-<oem_name>".
The pldm/meson.build and the corresponding source file(s) will need to incorporate the logic of adding its mapped compiler flag to allow conditional compilation of the code.
pldm daemon links against the libpldm library during compilation, For more information on libpldm please refer to libpldm
For more information on pldmtool please refer to pldmtool.
