Abstract
Techniques are described herein in which a programmable logic device (PLD) is integrated into a baseboard management controller (BMC). A programming-enhanced BMC is powered on by a PLD that is integrated into the programming-enhanced BMC and that is coupled to an internal bus of the programming-enhanced BMC. A configuration file is provided from immutable BMC hardware in the BMC to the PLD based at least on the programming-enhanced BMC being powered on. The configuration file specifies a configuration to be programmatically applied to programmable hardware of the PLD. The programmable hardware of the PLD is programmed by loading the configuration file, which causes the programmable hardware to render a peripheral interface that is defined by the configuration file natively on the internal bus of the programming-enhanced BMC.
