An IPMI system doesn't have to have an IPMB bus; that is really only required if you have multiple management controllers. Note that you can have an I2C bus without IPMB for hooking up sensors. This is a common scenario. > Does Intel IPMI standard specify anything about this PCI interface. It talks about how to discover BMCs on the PCI bus, but there's nothing besides that. Everything else should be transparent to what interface the BMC uses to talk to the main processor.
