Intel Gets Back To Years-Long Journey Upstreaming PECI – Phoronix

Intel started supporting the PECI communication interface in the Linux kernel. PECI is the Platform Environment Control Interface and is for communication between Intel Xeon processors and BMCs / management controllers. Seems like an approach to make OpenBMC rich to support CPU package and DIMM temperature reading via Linux drivers. A move which AMD is still proprietary to provide the support.
