Sorry for late response because it's close to Chinese New Year. I can get the IPMI working with the driver here on Windows. https://www.drivermax.com/Realtek-Virtual-IPMI-Realtek-PCI-VEN-10EC-DEV-816C-1_0_0718_2013-2013-07-18-509795-driver.htm Then you will see the device (hightlighted) on the control panel as follows https://pasteboard.co/H7xm3fJ.png I don't know how to get the register layout you need. I can only take a picture of the content of the PCI resources. https://pasteboard.co/H7xnhz0.png The contents of BAR1, BAR3, BAR5 are all 0xff. Can you point me out where the useful information might be and I can try to dump FYI.
