Platform simulation for management controller development projects

A method for platform simulation for development projects of a management controller, the method comprising:

• providing a simulator module in the management controller to simulate a computing device or at least one device connected to the computing device, wherein a firmware module of the management controller is configured to receive at least one output signal from the computing device or from the at least one device connected to the computing device;
• generating, by the simulator module, the at least one output signal based on configuration data of the computing device or the device connected to the computing device;
• and
• sending, by the simulator module, the at least one output signal to the firmware module.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable code, wherein the computer executable code, when executed at a processor of an management controller, is configured to:

• simulate a computing device or at least one device connected to the computing device, wherein a firmware module of the management controller is configured to receive the at least one output signal from the computing device or from the at least one device connected to the computing device;
• generate at least one output signal based on configuration data of the computing device or the device connected to the computing device;
• and
• send the at least one output signal to the firmware module.
