Abstract: A method of building an intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) firmware architecture embedded in an IPMI hardware architecture, first uses a software program to edit the hardware architecture. The method then selects at least one hardware interface device, and defines environmental parameters between the firmware architecture and the IPMI hardware architecture. Then, a customized code is transmitted to the memory area of the hardware architecture in order to be stored in a classified catalog of the memory area. Thereafter, a translation device is used to translate the customized code into a general source code, and finally, the general source code and a core code are synchronously compiled to form a firmware object code. The firmware object code is linked to a program bank for building the executable IPMI firmware architecture.

Abstract: An IPMI validating system and method are optimally used between a host system having an IPMI, and an operating terminal. The validating system includes a user interface, an IPMI command engine module, an IPMI command management unit and a channel management unit. The IPMI command engine module is capable of directly encoding a test program into an IPMI command, rather than using the prior art ICTS and TCL/TK that connects with several libraries, modules and configuration files, and encoding an ICTS framework manager and test module together into IPMI commands. Therefore, the validating system provides a higher performance efficiency and readability for IPMI thereby raising validating efficiency.
