<br />
Nice to connect with you over email. I am Swetha Nagapuri currently exploring OpenBMC mctp and PLDM stacks. I am planning to contribute to OpenBMC mctp and pldm code bases but have below queries.<br />
<br />
1. How can I contribute to OpenBMC? Please let me know the steps if you have. </blockquote>
<div dir="auto">https://github.com/openbmc/docs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md should help you with the steps to contribute to openbmc.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: thin solid rgb(26, 188, 156); margin: 5px; padding-left: 10px;">2 I can't see any source code for mctp over smbus. Can you please help me to understand why this is not part of openbmc yet? I am planning to raise a couple of gerrits to support this. How can I do that?</blockquote>
<div dir="auto">Specs like MCTP and PLDM e.t.c are not openbmc specific, they are generic protocols which can be used as a communication means between embedded systems, There is no need to have mctp/pldm in openbmc. But with that said i believe there is support for MCTP over i2c. Look at https://codeconstruct.com.au/docs/mctp-on-linux-introduction/ for more information on what's being supported.</div>
<blockquote style="border-left: thin solid rgb(26, 188, 156); margin: 5px; padding-left: 10px;">3. In PLDM code, I am planning to read sensor data from sysfs nodes directly instead of some dbus methods. Can I proceed with this approach?<br />

<div dir="auto">This question is very vague, and cannot be answered without details. Feel free to come up with a design document capturing what you are planning to do or pitch it in #pmci discord channel for quick feedback from the community.<br /></div>
<blockquote style="border-left: thin solid rgb(26, 188, 156); margin: 5px; padding-left: 10px;">Any response would be appreciated</blockquote>
<div dir="auto">Please send emails to the community mailing list openbmc@lists.ozlabs.org rather than send them personally, questions like these could help others too.<br /></div>
