2020 OCP Virtual Summit

OCP NIC 3.0 specification has enabled a wide spectrum of next generation NIC board designs. One of the key aspects of OCP NIC 3.0 specification is standards-based manageability. In this talk, we will provide an overview of OCP NIC 3.0 manageability features that are based on a number of DMTF standards including NC-SI, MCTP, and PLDM. We will cover areas including sideband management interfaces, MAC address provisioning, temperature reporting, power consumption reporting, NC-SI package addressing/hardware arbitration, firmware inventory, firmware update, and FRU content.
