Hi, Ofcourse, OpenSAF cannot directly modify the board's configuration! There appears to be a disconnect here.
Here is one example of how one can integrate their hardware with OpenSAF for HA! http://www.slideshare.net/opensaf/video-demo-jonasa61111-8318878 (a) Also, Have you been able to read SAForum PLM - Platform management Interface specifications? (b) Having said that, your goal seems to be to write an application that uses OpenSAF IMM to store that application's configuration. And this application would then do things like - create a pseudowire service - invoking any functionality on the board - change the board/functionality configuration Etc. In which case, yes ofcourse this application has to become the Implementer and not PLM Is this your goal? Could you confirm (a) and (b) above?
