DASH Software Development SDK
The DASH SDK provides software in source and
binary form to allow management consoles and management applications to support the DMTF DASH interface.
It consists of libraries, command-line (CLI) utilities, and example code that are used to facilitate DASH
integration with industry management consoles. Applications built using the SDK can
discover and interact with any DASH-enabled Management Access Points (MAPs) to which
they have network access and the required credentials.
Components
Low-Level APIs
As development partners, GNHSoft and Advanced Micro Devices has joined
forces to promote industry standards for client management solutions aiming to accelerate the adoption of the Distributed
Management Task Force (DMTF) Desktop and Mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) standard.
High-Level APIs
For common operations such as discovery, power-on/ff, and basic inventory.
The high-level API is an abstraction layer and minimizes the exposure of the console to details of
the low-level DASH protocol stack.
