We are interested in promoting this standard and are willing to lead a reference implementation for OpenBMC if there is not yet something in progress. If there is something in progress, can you point me at the work because I would love to see it.

I had a couple of questions on RDE, and I wonder if this has crossed
your mind as you started looking at RDE, or if this is
misunderstanding on my part:
1) I understand the problem RDE tries to solve in terms of avoiding
having device-specific knowledge/code on the BMC, but doesn't PLDM
also solve a similar problem? For example, if a device supported PLDM
Type 2 (and other PLDM specs such as the one for FRU, etc), the BMC
could convert PLDM to Redfish. I understand this may not be as
convenient as RDE but it still solves the device-specific code
problem, PLDM being a standard protocol as well. Am I missing
something here? Is it just that RDE is more convenient than PLDM to
Redfish conversion, or is there more to it - for example, PLDM
can't/isn't intended to be converted to Redfish, in an
effective/lossless way?
2) Is RDE specific to a class of devices? Some of the documents I see
stress on I/O adapters. Would be it odd to implement RDE on devices
like Accelerators, CPU, etc?
Thanks,
Deepak
