This includes machines that may +serve as the main processor in an IPMI system, e.g. x86 or POWER server +processors, as well as machines emulating ARM-based Baseband Management +Controllers (BMCs), e.g. AST2xxx or NPCM7xxx systems-on-chip. + +Main processor emulation +======================== + +A server platform may include one of the following system interfaces for +communicating with a BMC: + +* A Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) Interface, accessible via ISA + (``isa-ipmi-kcs``) or PCI (``pci-ipmi-kcs``). +* A Block Transfer (BT) Interface, accessible via ISA (``isa-ipmi-bt``) or PCI + (``pci-ipmi-bt``). +* An SMBus System Interface (SSIF; ``smbus-ipmi``). + +These interfaces can all be emulated by QEMU. To emulate the behavior of the +BMC, the messaging interface emulators use one of the following backends: + +* A BMC simulator running within the QEMU process (``ipmi-bmc-sim``). +* An external BMC simulator or emulator, connected over a chardev + (``ipmi-bmc-extern``). `ipmi_sim + `_ + from OpenIPMI is an example external BMC emulator. + +The following diagram shows how these entities relate to each other. + +.. blockdiag:: + + blockdiag main_processor_ipmi { + orientation = portrait + default_group_color = "none"; + class msgif [color = lightblue]; + class bmc [color = salmon]; + + ipmi_sim [color="aquamarine", label="External BMC"] + ipmi-bmc-extern <-> ipmi_sim [label="chardev"]; + + group { + orientation = portrait + + ipmi-interface <-> ipmi-bmc; + + group { + orientation = portrait + + ipmi-interface [class = "msgif"]; + isa-ipmi-kcs [class="msgif", stacked]; + + ipmi-interface <- isa-ipmi-kcs [hstyle = generalization]; + } + + + group { + orientation = portrait + + ipmi-bmc [class = "bmc"]; + ipmi-bmc-sim [class="bmc"]; + ipmi-bmc-extern [class="bmc"]; + + ipmi-bmc <- ipmi-bmc-sim [hstyle = generalization]; + ipmi-bmc <- ipmi-bmc-extern [hstyle = generalization]; + } + + } + } + +IPMI System Interfaces +---------------------- + +The system software running on the main processor may use a *system interface* +to communicate with the BMC. These are hardware devices attached to an ISA, PCI +or i2c bus, and in QEMU, they all need to implement ``ipmi-interface``. +This allows a BMC implementation to interact with the system interface in a +standard way. + +IPMI BMC +-------- + +The system interface devices delegate emulation of BMC behavior to a BMC +device, that is a subclass of ``ipmi-bmc``. This type of device is called +a BMC because that's what it looks like to the main processor guest software. + +The BMC behavior may be simulated within the qemu process (``ipmi-bmc-sim``) or +further delegated to an external emulator, or a real BMC. The +``ipmi-bmc-extern`` device has a required ``chardev`` property which specifies +the communications channel to the external BMC. + +Wire protocol +============= + +The wire protocol used between ``ipmi-bmc-extern`` and the external BMC +emulator is defined by `README.vm +`_ from +the OpenIPMI project.
