Jeremy,

Thanks for posting the review.
May I suggest requesting MCTP repository in OpenBMC github for effective collaboration similar to PLDM rather than using personal github repo?
This will also avoid duplicating effort and will also encourage participation from multiple contributors.

Thanks,
Supreeth

Hi Brad,

Yes! :)

> Do you need some help with that?

Just a nudge into doing so, which your email provided!

I've just pushed to gerrit:

  https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/docs/+/18089

- this is the doc that I'd originally sent out (top of this thread), and incorporating suggestions discussed there.

In the meantime, I've mainly been working on the prototype sketches for the MCTP library, and I've just pushed that too:

  http://github.com/jk-ozlabs/libmctp

It's very prototypey at this stage, and I'm open to input and pull requests. I'm going to be quite permissive with accepting changes at this early stage...

If we go ahead with the MCTP designs, and want to use this, I'd propose moving it from my personal github repo into /openbmc/ (after suitable updates to get it into OpenBMC standards, of course). Patches welcome!

Cheers,

Jeremy
