[Ipmitool-devel] Unknown FRU header version 0Xff

[Chengcheng Xu <cha...@sl...>]

Hi,

I am trying to do a ipmitool FRU data write.  The device I am writing to 
is a brand new EEPROM(never been programmed) on the i2c bus.  I see the 
command being send to on the i2c bus on my scope.  The command I used is:

ipmitool -I lan - H 192.168.1.20 -t 0x78 fru write 1 file.fru

The command returned:

FRU size     19971 bytes
Size to write: 165 bytes
  Unknown FRU header version 0xff

I want to know what does the " Unknown FRU header version 0xff" mean?

 From the signals I read from the scope, it seems that ipmitool is 
reading something first.  I can not get confirmation that the data is 
actually written to the EEPROM.
