MCTP Emulator

Overview

This repo exists to support MCTP to all upper layer applications in PMCI stack. The upper layers for example are SPDM, PLDM, Intel VDMs like telemetry, Crash Dump etc.

This is meant to be a mock up for upper layers to use until their actual target hardware is available.

Anyone who find this useful for there upper layer application can contribute to this daemon.

Usage details:

This daemon will get compiled only if debug-tweaks are enabled.

Daemon exposes D-Bus methods / properties / signals for MCTP devices or MCTP Endpoint. Upper layers can emulate MCTP Message TX and RX using MCTP Emulator. It will expose following objects.

Base object
MCTP Endpoints

Base object

Exposed under the path /xyz/openbmc_project/mctp with the following interfaces.

xyz.openbmc_project.MCTP.Base which exposes all the common properties needed.
xyz.openbmc_project.MCTP.SupportedMessageTypes which exposes the message types supported.
SendMctpMessagePayload method call can send MCTP request. This uses the raw request bytes and the corresponding responses from configurations/req_resp.json.

Endpoint object

Exposed under the path /xyz/openbmc_project/mctp/device/<eid> with the following interfaces.

xyz.openbmc_project.MCTP.SupportedMessageTypes which exposes supported MCTP message types for the discovered MCTP Endpoint.
xyz.openbmc_project.MCTP.Endpoint which exposes properties like UUID and endpoint mode (to identify Bus Owner or Bridge or Endpoint) for the MCTP Endpoint.
