Re: [Freeipmi-users] Send Message using FreeIPMI

[Albert Chu]

Hi Phil,

Are you trying to program a raw command via libfreeipmi?  What problems
are you having?

It's sort of hard to describe a raw command to do it, since one normally
uses it to encapsulate another command for bridging, and its dependent
on the channel and addresses you're sending to.  Here's an example of a
send message, bridging a sensor read, on a motheboard I have.

ipmi-raw 0 6 0x34 0x06 0x2c 0x10 0xc4 0x20 0x4e 0x2d 0x1a 0x4b

Here's the packet I created it from.
