Re: [Freeipmi-users] ipmi-sensors with Intel SE7210

[Bala.A]

Hi,

FreeIPMI works on your machine using SSIF interface.  You can try other
commands by passing '-D ssif' argument, for example 'ipmi-sensors -D ssif'

Normally, we don't need to pass '-D' option to freeipmi tools.  FreeIPMI
tools try KCS first, if KCS fails they try SSIF.  If both fail, they
return failure with error message.

I fixed some bugs in CVS version.

Could you try the latest CVS version and send me the output of following
commands?

ipmi-locate
ipmi-raw 0 6 1
ipmi-raw -D ssif 0 6 1
bmc-info
bmc-info -D ssif

Thanks,

Regards,

Bala

Bala, can comment more on that.  I'm not 100% if this code is working
yet.  Or it's partially working, but you have to pass something on the
command line.
