Hi,
It appears that the ipmitool implementation of the Platform Event
message command is missing a "1" bit in Generator ID field when the
command is sent via the system interface as per Figure 29-2 in the spec.
If you agree, I propose the following patch. Please let me know if you
disagree or find any issues with this patch.
Thank you very much,
Carol
