A simple command line utility to interact with NCSI over Netlink.
This uses the libnl library to talk Netlink.
The Makefile assumes cross-compiling against a shared libnl library specified
via LIBNL_INCDIR and LIBNL_LIBDIR, eg:
`make CC=/path/to/cross/compiler LIBNL_INCDIR=path/to/headers LIBNL_LIBDIR=/path/to/library`
Hint: You can most likely find these installed on your BMC.
usage:
ncsi-netlink: Send messages to the NCSI driver via Netlink
ncsi-netlink [-h] operation [-p PACKAGE] [-c CHANNEL] [-l IFINDEX]
--ifindex index Specify the interface index
--package package Package number
--channel channel Channel number (aka. port number)
--info Display info for packages and channels
--set Force the usage of a certain package/channel combination
--clear Clear the above setting
--help Print this help text
There is also a python version used for early prototyping and not as up to date. This uses the libnl python library to talk Netlink.
