2. PLDM over MCTP SMBus

The BMC on the Intel® FPGA PAC D5005 communicates with a server BMC over the PCIe* SMBus.

The supported protocol is the Platform Level Data Model (PLDM) over Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) stack.

The Intel® FPGA PAC D5005 BMC supports a subset of the PLDM and MCTP commands to enable a server (motherboard) BMC to obtain sensor data such as voltage, current and temperature.

The BMC supports version 1.3.0 of the MCTP Base Specification (DMTF specification DSP0236) and version 1.1.1 of the PLDM for Platform Monitoring and Control standard (DMTF specification DSP0248).
