IPMI Blob Transfer Interface Driver

This DXE module is a UEFI implementation of the Phosphor Blob Transfer Interface defined in OpenBMC https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-ipmi-blobs

OpenBMC implements this interface as a protocol, allowing UEFI and BMC to transfer blobs over IPMI.

Usage:

Any DXE module that wishes to use this protocol should do the following:

1. The module should have a dependency on gEdkiiIpmiBlobTransferProtocolGuid in its inf “Depex” section
2. The module should list gEdkiiIpmiBlobTransferProtocolGuid in its inf “Protocol” section
3. The module's entry point should do a LocateProtocol on gEdkiiIpmiBlobTransferProtocolGuid

A sample flow of protocol usage is as follows:

1. A call to IpmiBlobTransferOpen ()
2. Iterative calls to IpmiBlobTransferWrite
3. A call to IpmiBlobTransferClose ()

Unit Tests:

IpmiBlobTransferDxe/UnitTest/ contains host based unit tests of this implementation. Any changes to IpmiBlobTransferDxe should include proof of successful unit tests.

Debugging

To assist in debugging any issues, change BLOB_TRANSFER_DEBUG to desired debug level, such as DEBUG_ERROR or DEBUG_INFO.
