[PATCH] lib: Export the parsing functions and related data structures of the PLDM library
Posted by Shawn.Shao 2 months, 3 weeks ago
From: Shawn Shao <shawn.shao@jaguarmicro.com>

The PLDM library is used to implement firmware upgrades,
but the current library functions only support the
`pldmfw_flash_image` function to complete a fixed
process of parsing, sending data to the backend,
and flashing (allowing users to implement custom
logic using `pldmfw_ops`). However, this poses
significant challenges for device vendors using
PLDM for firmware upgrades.
The following scenarios are not supported:
1. Only using the PLDM parsing functions, as the
   current library does not support this operation.
2. The firmware upgrade process differs from this
   fixed flow (the firmware upgrade process may
   vary across different vendors).

Hi! I would love to see lib/pldmfw expanded to support more use cases.

I initially focused primarily on the use case I had for driving a flash
update via the functions exposed through my device's firmware.

Right. Exposing the parsing would be useful to enable validating the
image without necessarily running the full process.

Right. I think there is some room for interpretation in the standard,
which leads to different vendors interpreting some aspects of the flow.

I'm open to extending the library to support other users.

I think the overall change is good, but I might pull out the
device_update_flags into a separate patch.

This feels like a change that belongs in a separate patch? It looks like
its fixing an actual bug in missing data?
