Corey,
Yes, you right, ipmitool and freeipmi do not have this implemented
either.

Hi,
I am implementing a payload interface based on UART, from the spec,
serial channel is session based, but I could not find the openIPMI
source code for the serial channel session establishment, so the
question is,
Is openIPMI has a UART payload interface implementation?
It depends on what you mean. There is no code in the OpenIPMI library
for handling the serial interface as specified in the specification.
There is code for the Linux IPMI driver that handles serial interfaces,
but they aren't exactly compliant with the specification; they don't do
any of the session stuff, they are just serial interfaces to the BMC.
Some of them use the basic protocols defined in the IPMI specification.
This is not part of the mainstream kernel, as it requires changes to the
serial core to handle the run-to-completion operations at panic and
shutdown time.
I don't think any of the other main open source IPMI software does this
either, but you can check ipmitool and freeipmi.
This could be added to OpenIPMI, of course, and it wouldn't be terribly
hard.

If yes, is session used for the interface?
Thanks,
Andrew
