Hi Deepak, Looking through things some more, I think I may have been confused earlier. Some additional thoughts: > If it is correct then is Terminal Mode Serial Interface Driver (Linux) > available with freeIPMI and what all is required to customise it for > using MPC8560 serial driver(SCC)? I

Hey Tom, Thanks for the sdr cache. I figured out the problem. It has to do with some signed vs. unsigned integers. I need to do some code reviewing to figure out where else the fixes need to go, so gimme a day or two. Thanks, Al On Mon, 2007-06-25 at 10:42 -0600, tom zimmerman wrote: > Al Chu

Hey Tom, After skimming through the code real quick, I realized the fixes only had to go to 1 tiny section of code. I applied the fixes into the CVS head. Do you think you could check it out real quick? Effectively, the bug came down to the fact that on your motherboard, the SDR timestamps are

[Freeipmi-devel] OEM-specific decoding of SEL entries

2007-06-25 Thread Levi Pearson
Is there currently any plan to provide OEM-specific decoding of SEL event data fields? On the Dell boards we're using, for example, the DIMM slot number is recorded in some of the bits of the Event Data field. It would be useful to us to be able to specify the OEM of the board and have it apply w

[Freeipmi-devel] thread safe?

Hi everyone, Just need a quick confirmation regarding multithreaded applications and multiple IPMI clients: - FreeIPMI is thread safe, as is OpenIPMI - ipmiutil is not thread safe Thanks, Andrew ___ Freeipmi-devel mailing list Freeipmi-devel@gnu.o

Andrew, RE: ipmiutil The use case model for ipmiutil assumes that the customer wants the management stuff to take place in discrete steps, and then get out of the way for the production data traffic to use all of the available capacity. This lends itself to utilities rather than services. Ipmiuti

There currently isn't a road-map, just b/c we haven't had a need. We'd gladly welcome support. I guess somewhere within ipmi-sel we'd have to run the get device id command (I think that's the one) which can get the manufacturer id. Then within the sel-output, just do some if statements to conve

Hi Andrew, To the best of my knowledge, libfreeipmi is thread-safe. Having written all of libipmiconsole and libipmimonitoring, I'm willing to say they are thread safe. I can't really speak for ipmituil and openipmi, not too sure. Al On Mon, 2007-06-25 at 17:02 -0400, Andrew Wozniak wrote: > H
