It probably doesn't mean what you think it means; that's a specific type
of sensor. Basic sensors will work, but you have to hand-create SDR
entries for them and control all the nitty-gritty details about them.
The simulator doesn't provide LAN configuration or many of the fancier
management controller capabilities. It provides:
Basic MC support
FRU data
SDR repositories (both main and device)
System Event Log
Sensors (both discrete and threshold) including setting values and
generating events.
Some chassis support (like setting the power/reset status)
ATCA hot-swap
ATCA address info
ATCA LEDs.
I think that's about it.
