The MegaRAC card's firmware monitors the system
hardware using a generic engine. This engine uses the
binary data generated by the SDK to monitor the system.
The binary data contains the information needed to access
or initialize the hardware for system monitoring. The
MegaRAC firmware creates the Hardware Visualization
Layer (HVL), which is a hardware independent layer
between the hardware interface and the system monitoring
process.
There are three main screens in the Hardware Health
Function SDK:
•
