Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) support
This crate provides a set of generic types and traits for MCTP support in Rust. It provides:
-
A few base types (
Eid,Tag,MsgType,MsgIC) to match MCTP protocol definitions. -
Traits to abstract communication implementation details. These are
ReqChannel,Listener, andRespChannel. Async equivalents areAsyncReqChannel,AsyncListener, andAsyncRespChannel. -
Some support types (
mctp::Error,mctp::Result) for the traits.
There are two typical interfaces to the crate:
-
Transport implementations: code that provides implementations of the traits. These interface to hardware (either directly, in some embedded environments, or through an operating system interface), and provide the base message send/receive functions.
-
Application implementations: code that uses makes use of the traits, in order to provide some MCTP-based functionality.
API status
We don't expect much API breakage in future, though changes may be made where it makes sense.
Any API changes will be appropriately versioned.
