[AMD Official Use Only - General]
HI Abner,
Moving the IPMI related PCD’s will cause additional package
dependencies.
Suppose if someone wants to implement SPMI table using DynamicTablesPkg (and
using this PCD);
then it will cause dependencies on ManageabilityPkg which is not accepted.
Thanks

[AMD Official Use Only - General]
Hi Sean,
I was struggling when introduce IPMI KCS base IO PCD in Mde, although it is a
industry value but seems it is fine to have it in ManageabilityPkg. How do you
think if we relocate those IPMI PCDs back to ManageabilityPkg?
Thanks
Abner

This seems like a bad design to require the ipmi interface type at such a high
level in the code tree. UEFI provides plenty protocol and library abstractions
for IPMI so I would really prefer not to leak this type of information into a
PCD defined in MdePkg. Happy to discuss IPMI support and I would really like
to see edk2, edk2-platforms/Features/ManageabilityPkg at master ·
tianocore/edk2-platforms
(github.com)<https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/tree/master/Features/ManageabilityPkg>,
microsoft/mu_feature_ipmi: Project Mu - Feature Repo- Firmware support for
IPMI (github.com)<https://github.com/microsoft/mu_feature_ipmi>, and commercial
vendors find some sort of alignment going forward as no one wins with the mess
that is in the industry now.
Thanks
Sean
