OpenIPMI is deprecated. It's no longer maintained. Use [FreeIPMI](https://www.gnu.org/software/freeipmi/). It's more open-source, more easier and more features. Most of all, it's still maintained. – nazibalalam May 31 '21 at 06:56

OpenIPMI has code commits on its sourceforge git repository as recently as March 29, 2023. https://sourceforge.net/p/openipmi/code/ci/master/tree/ – dodexahedron Apr 07 '23 at 12:54

According to the OpenIMPI project webpage (http://openipmi.sourceforge.net/), OpenIMPI is not an emulator but is
... an effort to create a full-function IPMI system to allow full access to all IPMI information on a server and to abstract it to a level that will make it easy to use.
You can connect to OpenIMPI in a number of ways, including using the ipmicmd program which lets you inject and receive messages.
