We also came across this during our evaluation of the Windmill board. It seems as though there is a kernel module called DCMI that interacts over a HECI interface(Possible documentation here) to access the DCMI capabilities of the Intel Platform Controller Hub (c602), with Management Extensions (ME).

In addition to needing the DCMI module, you need a specialized version of ipmitool (or dcmitool) in order to interact over the HECI interface. This is due to current versions of ipmitool and dcmi tool do not contain support for it.

Attached are both the kernel modules (for a 2.6 based kernel on RPM distribution... CentOS).

This is all for the OCP V2.0 Windmill boards for dcmitool to work you need to compile the drivers dcmi and mei and then *may* need install these compatlibs

yum install compat-readline5
yum install openssl098e-0.9.8e-17.el6_2.2.x86_64
Module madness -- remove ipmi and install mei and dcmi

modprobe -r ipmi_si
modprobe -r ipmi_devintf
modprobe -r ipmi_msghandler
put the mei and dcmi drivers in the "correct structure" i.e.

/lib/modules/2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/char/<module_name>
run depmod and then install the stuff

depmod
modprobe mei
modprobe dcmi
