3.6.2 IPMC Firmware Upgrade via the IPMB Interface (RMCP)
IPMI Specification v1.5 defines Remote Management Control Protocol (RMCP). Version 1.5 adds
features for layering commands through virtual networks like Ethernet.
The IPMC firmware that needs to be upgraded is loaded to client utility software on the RMCP
client. The RMCP client uses the RMCP protocol carrying embedded IPMI messages to send to the
RMCP Server running in the CMM. The RMCP server decodes the RMCP package and forwards
the IPMI messages to the SBC.
3.6.2.1 Updating MPCBL0001 Firmware
Please refer to the latest IPMC firmware release notes for the upgrade procedure. The upgrade
