Detailed explanation of MCTPApp tool usage
introduction
MCTPApp is a command line tool used to communicate with MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol) devices. This tutorial will introduce how to install, configure and use MCTPApp, and provide an example to demonstrate its basic functions.
Step 1: Install MCTPApp
First, you need to download and install the MCTPApp tool from official channels. Make sure your system meets the tool's operating requirements.
Step 2: Understand the basic command format
The basic command format of the MCTPApp tool is as follows:
MCTPApp -eid <Entity ID> -msg <Message Type> -pt <Payload Type> -cmd <Command Type> -d <Data Bytes>
-eid: Specifies the MCTP entity ID of the target device.-msg: Specifies the type or number of the message.-pt: Specify the type or mode of MCTP messages.-cmd: Specify a specific command or operation.-d: Specifies the data field of the command.
Step 3: Example Demonstration
Suppose we want to send an MCTP message of type 4 and mode 0x02 to the device with entity ID 0x0A, which contains an operation of command type 0x12 and the data field is two bytes 0x00 and 0x00.
The command is as follows:
MCTPApp -eid 0xa -msg 4 -pt 0x02 -cmd 0x12 -d 0x00 0x00
This command will send the specified MCTP message to the device with entity ID 0x0A.
