Retrieving IPU Information

The MCTP demultiplexer daemon mctp-demux-daemon is provided to handle MCTP traffic over an MCTP transport layer used for PLDM communication over UART between the SoC and the main BMC on the IPU. mctp-demux-daemon is required for running BMC tools on the IPU. To run mctp-demux-daemon as a service, execute commands as follows.

soc# cd /opt/
soc# tar zxvf ipu_tools-<version>-linux.tar.gz 
soc# cp ipu_tools/bin/mctp-demux-daemon /usr/bin/
soc# cp ipu_tools/etc/mctp-demux-daemon.service /etc/systemd/system
soc# systemctl enable mctp-demux-daemon.service
soc# systemctl start mctp-demux-daemon.service

where:

• soc# indicates the SoC on the IPU where provided commands are to be to executed.
• version is the version identifier of the corresponding package.
