description: > Implement to provide the boot initiator (such as Petitboot or UEFI) with its specific parameters. This is based on IPMI 2.0 Table 28-14 'Boot Option Parameters' parameter 7 'Boot initiator mailbox'. properties: - name: Supported type: boolean flags: - const default: false description: > Specifies whether or not the mailbox is supported by the boot initiator on this machine. The property is constant and is only set by the implementation on startup. - name: IANAEnterpriseNumber type: uint32 flags: - const default: 0 description: > The 24-bit IANA Private Enterprise Number for the company or organization that has specified the boot initiator. This is a machine-specific constant. The implementing application is responsible for setting this to the proper machine-specific value (0x000000..0xFFFFFF) according to https://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers/enterprise-numbers. The property is constant and is only set by the implementation on startup. - name: Data type: array[byte] description: > The array of data bytes for the boot initiator to treat in its specific way. This interface doesn't impose any limitiations on the format or make any assumptions regarding it. The boot initiator is responsible for parsing this array. The size of the array is a constant depending on the requirements set by the boot initiator used for a particular architecture or a machine. The implementing application is responsible for setting the size of this array to the proper value. For conformance to the IPMI 2.0 specification, the size of the array plus 3 (the size of IPMI 2.0 representation of IANA Enterprise Number) must be a multiple of 16 with the minimum allowed size being 77 (5 x 16-byte blocks, minus 3) if mailbox is at all Supported. For IPMI 2.0 this array is supposed to be split into 16-byte blocks by the implementing service (block 0 being made of IANA PEN plus first 13 bytes of this array). Please pay special attention that this array does NOT include the IANA PEN needed for IPMI 2.0. Only the actual PEN-specific data is stored here. When partially written to, the remaining parts of this array must not be automatically cleared. This is per IPMI 2.0 specification. Other interfaces to the boot initiator (such as MCTP) may process this array differently.
