FMP Capsule vs PMCI PLDM FW Update binaries

[TVKR <tresko1@gmail.com>]

Hi,

The DMTF group is coming up with a new way to update FW on PCI devices via
BMC - DSP0267. The method expects the FW binary to carry a pre-defined
header that makes it easier for BMC to perform the necessary actions.
Currently some of the OEM/ODMs are already releasing FW payloads that can
be flashed via FMP. Additionally under certain circumstances they may also
release capsules targeting FMP for firmware updates. Now, if they need to
support this new FW update method via BMC will they end up releasing
separate binaries to do the same update - one that is compliant with PLDM
spec and the other compliant with FMP capsule? Is there a way to avoid
this? Or are the OEM/ODM expected to release bulky FW packages that contain
multiple binaries to update the same type of FW.

Thanks
