1# Intel IPMI OEM support library
2
3This component is intended to provide Intel-specific IPMI`[3]` command handlers
4for OpenBMC. These handlers are intended to integrate BMC with servers based on
5Intel architecture.
6
7## Overview
8
9`intel-ipmi-oem` serves as an extension`[1]` to OpenBMC IPMI daemon`[2]`. It is
10compiled as a shared library and intended to both:
11
12- override existing implementation of standard IPMI commands to comply with
13  Intel-specific solutions,
14- provide implementation for non-standard OEM extensions.
15
16## Capabilities
17
18Related features provided by the library are grouped in separate source files.
19Main extensions to vanilla OpenBMC IPMI stack are the following:
20
21- Acquiring SMBIOS data over IPMI
22- Commands for better integration with Intel hardware
23- Firmware update extensions
24- Extended parsing of IPMI Platform Events`[4]`
