Abstract
This study aims at developing and applying a framework that supports IPMI(Intelligent Platform Management Interface) and DCMI(Data Center Manageability Interface) based on open BMC(Board Support Controller). The proposed framework includes IPMI 2.0-based control firmware and DCMI technology that enables server board management in the data center. The existing BMC has been provided in the form of a private binary by a third-party vendor, and needs to be consulted with vendors when changes such as addition / deletion are required. In addition, the functionality provided by BMC has been determined by vendor-specific characteristics. In this paper, the proposed open BMC provides BMC IDE environment as well as code release. Therefore, user (developer) can configure BMC function more easily, and it is designed to implement and delete additional function if necessary. The designed BMC IDE environment not only supports BMC Application development, but also helps board system providers to design and evaluate IPMI library and DCMI library.
