Hello Gopal ,
I used following way given by you  to get to know the underlying platform details

Second way is issuing  “Get PICMG Properties” command. If the board is AMC, then PICMG Extension Version field (Byte 3) will have “0x04” and Byte 4 &5 will have “0x00”


That works .

I tried running  'GetPICMG properties '  command on AMC using ipmitool on AMC directly and i got following response.

$ipmitool raw 0x2c 0 0
 00 04 00 00

Here we can see only 4 bytes were displayed though  5 bytes were expected.And according to you , 3rd byte will contain the Entity type , with 4th and 5th byte filled with 0x00.

What am assuming here is that 'ipmitool' must be dropping the first 'Completion Code byte' and if its true then my assumption fits well.


Again same command tried on a ATCA board and got following response :

$ipmitool raw 0x2c 0 0
00 02 00 00

Same behaviour seen here  (5th byte missing) and second byte value 0x2 must be refferring to 'ATCA Board' type.
