If you are looking for just changing some specific standard fields, it might be easier to modify ipmitool to do this, since it's probably most of the way there, anyway. If you have something custom you want to modify, openipmi has a framework where you can plug in your own encoder/decoder. The encoder/decoder has to be written in C, but you can use the openipmi library from perl and python, too. And encoder/decoders are already written for the standard FRU info and for a lot of ATCA.
openipmigui is really just a thin wrapper over the openipmi library. And openipmigui can do RMCP over LAN. The learning curve is a lot higher than ipmitool; ipmitool is a very nice easy-to-use tool. OpenIPMI opens up just about all of IPMI to the programmer, and the programming model is a bit different. -corey > > On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 10:22 PM, Corey Minyard <miny...@acm.org > <mailto:miny...@acm.org>> wrote: > > Morgan Yang wrote: > > Hi Developers: > > I wonder has anyone did or is planning to add a full FRU > editor feature to "ipmiutil fru" or "ipmitool fru" > functionality?
