7title: The Intelligent Platform Management Bus(IPMB) Device
8
9description: |
10 The IPMB is an I2C bus which provides interconnection between a Baseboard
11 Management Controller(BMC) and chassis electronics. The BMC sends IPMI
12 requests to intelligent controllers like Satellite Management Controller(MC)
13 devices via IPMB and the device sends responses back to the BMC.
14 This device uses an I2C slave device to send and receive IPMB messages,
15 either on a BMC or other MC. A miscellaneous device provices a user space
16 program to communicate with the kernel and the backend device. Some IPMB
17 devices only support the I2C protocol and not the SMB protocol.
