AMD has collaborated with industry partners to create DMTF DASH enablement tools that help enable DASH solution providers to deliver interoperable DASH implementations.  These tools can also help decrease development time and improve interoperability, allowing you to bring your DASH product to market more quickly and with higher quality.  These DASH enablement tools are all open source and AMD welcomes collaboration on enhancing and extending these tools.  (These tools were originally part of AMD's project codenamed "SIMFIRE".)

These tools include:

• Open Test Manager (OTM) DASH Interoperability Test Suite
  • o The DASH interoperability test suite can be used to test a DASH-supporting management sub-system or controller or an in-band management agent for DASH interoperability.
  • o The test suite covers the full DASH technology stack, including HTTP(S) layer, WS-Man, DASH profiles, and CIM.
• DASH Console SDK
  • o The DASH Console SDK helps accelerate support for DASH in management consoles and tools
  • o The SDK exposes various APIs to help developers and vendors quickly add DASH support to their products without learning the details of the DASH specification
  • o Includes APIs to standard scripting languages like Python so IT administrators can use familiar languages to write scripts that exercise DASH capabilities
• DASH Software Reference Implementation
  • o Reference implementation of DASH management controller firmware
  • o Can be run on x86 hardware or virtualized environment

Can be used as a DASH target for testing DASH management consoles, tools and scripts.

The DASH interoperability test suite is open source and is published as part of OpenTestMan, which is part of the open source WS-Management project.

For downloads and documentation see: http://www.opentestman.org.

The DASH Console SDK and Reference Implementation are also open source and are part of the DASH Management project on sourceforge.net.
