Hi Brad,

No, the package is not ready yet. I will filling out a design template for it.

Understood. It can also be used for the machine has NVMe drives on it. The APIs could be put in phosphor-dbus-interfaces.
for example, "xyz.openbmc_project.Nvme.Information”. The properties will be SerialNumber, VendorID, SmartWarnings, StatusFlags, DriveLifeUsed.

The application is to retrieve information of the NVMe devices by NVMe-MI commands via SMBus directly.

Thanks
Best Regards,
Tony

Is this package already written?  Would you mind filling out a design template for it?

I can certainly create a quanta-dbus-interfaces repository if you'd like.  But first - I'm just curious abouut what sorts of DBus APIs you have?  Are they actually specific to Quanta machines, or could they be put in phosphor-dbus-interfaces?  

Do the applications that implement the APIs in quanta-dbus-interfaces already exist or are you planning on writing them in the future?

Could you briefly talk about what some of the applications that present/would present these APIs do?

thx - brad
