Abstract: Technologies are described herein for a representational state transfer (“REST” or “RESTful”) over Intelligent Platform Management Interface (“IPMI”) interface for firmware to BMC communication and applications thereof. These applications include, but are not limited to, remote firmware configuration, firmware updates, peripheral device firmware updates, provision of management information such as system inventory data, cloning and batch migration of firmware configuration settings, and firmware integrity monitoring. This functionality can be provided in a way that enables communication between BMCs and firmware to utilize modern manageability interfaces while maintaining backward compatibility with previous IPMI implementations.

Abstract: A method and an associated computer program product are provided for obtaining interrupt requests (IRQ) routing information in a more efficient and intuitive manner. In this regard, a graphical representation of the routing of a plurality of IRQs capable of being asserted by respective peripheral devices is constructed. The graphical representation may then be automatically converted into at least one source file containing at least some of the IRQ routing information organized in predefined manner. In this regard, at least one IRQ routing table may be constructed based upon the graphical representation of the IRQ routing.
