After some conversations with OpenBMC people, I recognized RBC daemon is standardized and Intel or IBM have their own implementations to collaborate with RBC daemon.<br>

For the OEM ipmi commands defined for BIOS and bmc communication, you probably can join Redfish Host Interface meeting because we are defining the IPMI Redfish command in this meeting. You may also reach out to John Leun from intel, who is the representative
of Intel for that meeting. <br>

I may have PR of the Remote Bios configuration document for some cosmetic revises and make this spec more clear on system firmware point of view.<br>

Abner,<br>
<br>
we are supporting Intel uses OEM IPMI command , IBM uses PLDM method <br>
is transfer data from BIOS to the BMC.<br>
<br>
In Intel, we are using (Intel prop) XML format which contain all needed <br>
info from BIOS to the BMC.<br>
<br>
Let me know whats requirement. we can discuss the same.<br>
<br>
This BIOS config -setting should be generic.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
