Intel® AMT High Level API - Intel Manageability Library to Manageability Webpage

Thank you for your interest in the Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) High Level API Technology Previews.

Introduction

The High Level API is being implemented using the SCRUM method, where the functionality is being built up in stages. This way we are able to share incremental high quality releases on a regular basis. The goal of releasing the technology previews on the manageability developer community is to get feedback from the community members.

We are releasing the first beta quality release High Level API Technology Preview #1 (Sprint 7). It holds partial functionality but has been tested and found to be of high quality. The main theme of this release is an easier to use interface for developing applications for Intel ® AMT.

Introduction to the High Level API Intel Management Library Technology Preview 1

The Intel Manageability Library, or High Level API (HLA), provides an easier to use interface for developing applications that work with systems equipped with Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT).

The library is written in C#, for Microsoft Windows* systems and is intended to be complimentary to the Intel ® AMT SDK.

This release is the first technology preview release. It is the result of Sprint 7 from the Intel AMT SDK development team.

Features of the Technology Preview #1 release include:

This release supports the following features which have been through validation cycles:

Hardware Asset - At Beta quality
Remote Control / Power - At Beta quality
Storage - At Beta quality

In addition, this release provides DRAFT APIs for Boot Control and Redirection which are still undergoing development. Nonetheless, feedback on these APIs (as well as the others) is strongly requested.

This release includes source code for the HLAPI DLL.

Included with this release is a command line tool for exercising the APIs. The binary executable, DLLs and source code for the command line tool are included.

Creating a C# Application:

To create a C# application that uses the HLA and runs with Intel AMT Release 5.0, add references to the following DLLs, located in the Bin in the distribution:

HLAPI.dll
CIMFramework_5_0.dll
DotNetWSManClient_5_0.dll

The DLLs and sample application require that the .NET Framework 3.0 be installed. Recompiling the source code requires Visual Studio 2008, which requires that the .NET Framework 3.5 be installed.

For more information, please see the Release notes.

Hi Ashish,
Unfortunately, not at this time. We are looking into the popularity of the current package (C#) and then we will see if there is a big demand for other languages and then, of course, which one to do next if there is a demand.
