This conference talk explores the collaborative effort between Microsoft and Intel to develop a unified Boot and Management Framework addressing interoperability challenges in modular platform designs. Learn how Kasper Wszolek from Intel and Bharat Pillili from Microsoft are tackling the communication barriers between Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) and various components on Host Processor Modules, including CPUs, CXL devices, and accelerators. Discover their vision for a vendor-agnostic solution that leverages existing open standards to create seamless device management across different silicon vendors. The presentation introduces a new Workstream under the Hardware Management Project aimed at standardizing this framework, ultimately supporting the goals of specifications like MHS and DC-SCM while eliminating persistent interface and protocol layer challenges.
