Hello again,
I haven't received any response since I sent the e-mail to you. I'm waiting for your answer. I successfully built the "Intel-oem-ipmi" but I'm still confused about the first question that is related to getting SMBIOS info.
Thank you.

Thanks,
1) I'm confused about this. I didn't connect any BMC's i2c buses to the CPU. Is that any problem for me? I mean, I have to BMC's i2c buses to CPU? Because these pins were not connected to any CPU's pins. It is empty. May it be my problem? I mean, If I connect these buses to CPU, Can I get the information?
2) When I build the "intel-oem-ipmi", It shows me an error. I guess The "intel-oem-ipmi" is required for the x86 CPU. I start to think that the openbmc doesn't support this. I attached the error file.
Regards.

1) It depends on your board, you should know better. If you don't know,
then it is likely KCS.
2) Yes
3) Yes, you don't need to have to create any additional configs
4) Yes, the common way is to program VPD/FRU to eeprom during
production stage. But this can vary depending on your board design and
manufacturing workflow.
Brad, I feel this questions rises each time when newcomers start
porting OBMC on their new board. Seems like we should have this
information in somewhere beginners guide.
