3 MCTP D-Bus interfaces are implemented by the MCTP control process daemon alias
4 mcptd and aids in the discovery of MCTP enabled devices by application layer
7 `xyz.openbmc_project.MCTP.Endpoint` D-Bus interface to discover MCTP endpoints.
8 The supported MCTP message types in an endpoint are exposed by the
9 `SupportedMessageTypes` property in the `xyz.openbmc_project.MCTP.Endpoint`
11 complete the PLDM discovery flow with the MCTP endpoint. Also mctpd discovers
12 the removal of the MCTP endpoints and removes the D-Bus objects corresponding to
13 those endpoints. MCTP bridges are not modelled in the D-Bus.
19 lifetime of the D-Bus object is the lifetime of the connected MCTP device.
21 The D-Bus object path for MCTP endpoints are named
24 ID. This aids in the enumeration of the endpoints belonging to an MCTP network.
25 The D-Bus object implements the `xyz.openbmc_project.MCTP.Endpoint` interface.
30 An MCTP Network may provide an optional MCTP Network ID that can be used to
31 differentiate different MCTP Networks when more than one MCTP Network can be
33 one point of access to the MCTP Network. The MCTP Network ID enables the entity
34 to tell whether the access points provide access to the same MCTP Network or to
35 different MCTP Networks. If the implementation supports the optional MCTP
39 interface and the UUID property is the MCTP network ID.
