fake-ipmistack is a simple and naive implementation of IPMI stack/BMC according to Intel's IPMI specification for functional testing.
Its main purpose is to test IPMItool. However, it can be used for testing of other IPMI CLI tools and applications.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ && make VERBOSE=1

In case you'd like to use fake-ipmistack outside of IPMItool, you're probably wondering about its interface. It's using UNIX socket to communicate with client as it was the simplest and the quickest way to do it. Feel free to check-out IPMItool's dummy interface to get the idea how to implement fake-ipmistack compatible interface in your project.
