ECN Affected Document
PCIe Firmware Spec 3.0
Specification Type
The definition of the CLP calling interface in the PCI Firmware 3.0 specification does not match calling conventions that have subsequently been defined by the DMTF. The PCI FW 3.0 specification defers to the DMTF CLP specification for coverage of differences, but is not specific in listing a particular DMTF specification (the Server Management Command Line Protocol Specification, Version 1.0) or set of supporting DMTF specifications (TBD).
This ECN rectifies the differences between the DMTF SM CLP Specification and its supporting documents with the current PCI Firmware 3.0 Specification. Also, it clarifies the supporting documents required for successfully implementing CLP in an X86 PCI FW 3.0 compatible option ROM.
