Hi Robert, about a year ago you wrote:

I've been using the ASRock Rack EPYCD8 for some development work. So far it's 
fine. The only thing I've found missing (and should probably look at) is direct 
ipmi access on localhost.

Did you ever figure this out?

I have a similar board (an ASRock Rack X570D4U-2L2T) and I haven’t been able to 
get IPMI to work either:

     # pkg install ipmi
     # modload /usr/kernel/drv/amd64/ipmi
     <no output>
     # modinfo | grep -i ipmi
     262 fffffffff8207000   27f8 287   1  ipmi (ipmi driver)
     # pkg install ipmitool
     # ipmitool
     Could not open device at /dev/ipmi0 or /dev/ipmi/0 \
     or /dev/ipmidev/0: No such file or directory

After reboot, neither `dmesg` nor `smbios` show anything “ipmi” related.  
Thoughts?

According to
<https://www.servethehome.com/asrock-rack-x570d4u-2l2t-review-amd-ryzen-server-motherboard/2/>

the BMC interface is kaputt:

"New to the X570 boards over the X470 predecessors is the ability to access the BIOS settings themselves via the BMC. On the X570D4I-2T this functionality was partially broken, presenting only a subset of the options available in the full preboot BIOS and never updating the system inventory; on the X570D4U-2L2T the remote BIOS is completely broken, and simply fails to load any functional user interface."

"ASRock Rack has again adjusted the default number of remote media instances; this time, set to zero by default. This does mean that users will have to adjust this setting in the BMC UI to enable remote media support, since without any remote media instances enabled the options to mount a virtual ISO are missing."
