■ Supports PDK Utility
for OEM Extension and Along with the firmware solution, AMI can provide the following utilities:
Customization > Platform Manager Configuration Program (PMCP) for graphical firmware porting and
sensor configuration. This graphical porting toolkit simplifies all aspects of development
with a “drag-n-drop” GUI interface to configure BMC I2C buses and sensor layout.
> Platform Development Kit (PDK) for enabling OEMs to add their own functionality and
customizations.
AMI’s reference design is extensible, expandable, portable, dependable and easy to deploy.
Reference design schematics are available to OEMs to simplify the design process.
