Re: [Freeipmi-devel] Supermicro unrecognized OEM events in eventlog.

[Al Chu]

Hi Andreas,

Unfortunately, I may not be able to add this one to FreeIPMI.  The
sensor type "OEM Reserved" indicates it is a OEM specific sensor (I'm
not sure how you arrived at 00B?).

The 6Fh indicates that the events associated with this OEM sensor are
unique to the sensor.  So while we may have 08h = "Activate BIOS
product key - asserted" (and the "asserted" actually might come from
elsewhere), we don't have 01h-07h and any possible events > 08h.

Have you pinged Supermicro on possibly releasing the mapping of this
OEM sensor?  If so, I'd be glad to add it to FreeIPMI.
