    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that detects a successful boot of a first firmware component in a computing system, receives a signal from a second firmware component in the computing system, and detects an incompatibility of the first firmware component with respect to the second firmware component based on the signal. In one example, only the first firmware component is repaired in response to the incompatibility.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for scalable MCTP infrastructure. A system is split into independent MCTP domains, wherein each MCTP domain uses Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) for endpoint devices within the MCTP domain in a manner similar to conventional MCTP operations. A new class of MCTP devices (referred to as a Domain Controllers) is provided to enable inter-domain communication and communication with global devices. Global traffic originators or receivers like a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU), Smart NIC (Network Interface Card), Debugger, or PROT (Platform Root or Trust) discover and establish two-way communication through the Domain Controllers to any of the devices in the target domain(s). The Domain Controllers are configured to implement tunneled connections between global devices and domain endpoint devices. The tunneled connections may employ encapsulated messages with outer and inner headers and/or augmented MCTP messages with repurposed fields used to store source and destination EIDs.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to apparatus, process, or techniques in a I3C protocol environment that include identifying a pending read notification message by a slave device to be sent to a master device to indicate that the data is available to be read by the master device from a buffer associated with the slave device. The pending read notification may be subsequently transmitted to the master device. Subsequently, until the data in the buffer has been read by the master device, the slave device may wait an identified amount of time that is less than a value of a timeout of the master device, and retransmit the pending read notification message to the master device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
