Initial MCTP design proposal

[Jeremy Kerr]

Yes! :)

Just a nudge into doing so, which your email provided!

I've just pushed to gerrit:

  https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/docs/+/18089

- this is the doc that I'd originally sent out (top of this thread), and
incorporating suggestions discussed there.

In the meantime, I've mainly been working on the prototype sketches for
the MCTP library, and I've just pushed that too:

  http://github.com/jk-ozlabs/libmctp

It's very prototypey at this stage, and I'm open to input and pull
requests. I'm going to be quite permissive with accepting changes at
this early stage...

If we go ahead with the MCTP designs, and want to use this, I'd propose
moving it from my personal github repo into /openbmc/ (after suitable
updates to get it into OpenBMC standards, of course). Patches welcome!

Cheers,


Jeremy
