+title: The Intelligent Platform Management Bus(IPMB) Device
+
+description: |
+  The IPMB is an I2C bus which provides interconnection between Baseboard
+  Management Controller(BMC) and chassis electronics. The BMC sends IPMI
+  requests to intelligent controllers like Satellite Management Controller(MC)
+  device via IPMB and the device sends a response back to the BMC.
+  This device binds backend Satelite MC which is a I2C slave device with the BMC
+  for management purpose. A miscalleneous device provices a user space program
+  to communicate with kernel and backend device. Some IPMB devices only support
+  I2C protocol instead of SMB protocol.
+
