Abstract
Systems and methods for using general software to control an internet of things (IOT) system with a virtual baseboard management controller (BMC). The system includes a cloud network server provided on a cloud network. When the cloud network server receive a gateway registration request from an IOT gateway device communicatively connected to multiple IOT devices, the cloud network server provides a virtual BMC, and registers the IOT gateway device to the virtual BMC. The virtual BMC may then allow an IOT software to register to the virtual BMC, thus enabling the IOT software to access the IOT gateway device and the IOT devices via the virtual BMC. The virtual BMC may send information to the IOT gateway device registered to the virtual BMC by a push technology. The IOT gateway device and the IOT software may respectively communicate with the virtual BMC using Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) messages.
