<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi Santosh,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">> Which VPD format are you interested in updating?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m interested in OpenPower VPD format update.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">> Assuming you are using the OpenPower VPD format, there is a tool being implemented in the series of patches here:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/openpower-vpd-parser/ /30239<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Ok, that's great!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I'll study this repository.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">My initial idea is using this tool (API) to update the MAC, BMC's PartNumber, BMC's SerialNumber and BMC's PrettyName of the VPD data on EEPROM.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Then update the VPD data by filling in the Json file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The API reads the data in Json and writes to the EEPROM to update the VPD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The above is my initial idea, I would like to ask you whether this is feasible?<br>
Or do you have any concern for this idea?<br>
Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></p>
