lindenbaum/eipmi

This system is an Erlang/OTP library that implements the RMCP/IPMI protocol, specifically focusing on remote console functionality and LAN interface support for IPMI v1.5 and v2.0. It provides a native API for managing IPMI sessions, handling authentication, and interacting with hardware components by reading FRU data and System Event Logs. The library also supports Platform Event Traps and includes comprehensive test coverage for its encoding, decoding, and security mechanisms.

Introduces the eipmi.hrl header file containing protocol constants and macros for the IPMI over RMCP implementation. This includes definitions for RMCP and ASF message types, IPMI network functions (such as chassis, sensor/event, application, storage, transport, and PICMG), default addresses, and FRU/PICMG identifiers, providing the foundational data structures for the library's encoding and decoding logic.

This release introduces the EIPMI application, a native Erlang/OTP library for RMCP/IPMI that implements the remote console part of the IPMI LAN interface (supporting IPMI v1.5 and v2.0/RMCP+). The library provides an API similar to \inet\/\gen\_udp\ for managing sessions, handling authentication, and issuing requests such as reading FRU data or System Event Logs (SEL). It includes built-in support for Platform Event Traps (PET) and automatic SEL polling, with asynchronous messages delivered to the session owner. The project is licensed under MIT and uses \rebar3\ for build management, depending on the \md2\ library.

The EIPMI application definition file (eipmi.app) and its corresponding upgrade definition file (eipmi.appup) have been removed from the ebin directory. This eliminates the legacy Erlang application metadata and version upgrade path definitions previously used to manage the EIPMI application lifecycle within the system.

The eipmi application has been updated to version 4.2.0. This release includes the addition of an MIT license, improves session setup to be synchronous, and enhances the robustness of System Event Log (SEL) polling. It also adds support for decoding OEM and threshold sensor system events, implements high-level API functions for easier interaction, and standardizes the \always\_on\ configuration option to match \always\_off\.

src · high confidence

Added comprehensive eunit test suites for the eipmi library's core components. The new tests cover authentication logic (including MD2, MD5, password, HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA256, and AES-CBC encryption), packet encoding and decoding for RMCP and IPMI messages, request and response serialization for various IPMI commands (such as GET\_DEVICE\_SDR, GET\_SENSOR\_READING, and session management), utility functions, and trap event decoding.

The Maven project descriptor (pom.xml) has been deleted, removing the project's build definition, including the groupId, artifactId, version, and the maven-erlang-plugin dependency.
