Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH V2 0/3] IPMI changes for Redfish

["Michael D Kinney" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

Hi Abner,

Can you provide an overview of the RedFish features that are required to interact with
HW interfaces such as USB and IPMI and network services?

I am wondering if these can be abstracted through dynamic interfaces such as PPI/Protocol
instead of static interfaces such as library classes.  It may help provide more options
on where the Device/Platform specific sources are hosted. 

Thanks,

Mike
