As a hot-swappable field-replaceable unit (FRU), the AM4022 follows the stringent carrier
grade RASM feature set, namely - Reliability, Availability, Serviceability, Maintainability.
Built in accordance with the AMC.0 specification, the AM4022 is also compliant with the AMC.1,
AMC.2, and AMC.3 specifications and is easily managed via its IPMI v2.0-compliant management features.
As with every Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC), the AM4022 is equipped with a Module Management Controller (MMC).
1.3 IPMI in AdvancedMC / AdvancedTCA Environment
The Module Management Controller is a crucial component of any AMC module. Besides acting as a regular IPMI management controller (sensor monitoring, event logging, etc.), it also
provides an interface to all necessary data related to module power requirements and implemented interfaces (E-Keying). Further, it plays an active role in the module hot swap state management. The carrier IPMI Controller (IPMC) communicates with the MMC using the local IPMB
(IPMB-L) bus. In an ATCA/AMC environment, it is the IPMC that actually turns on/off module
(payload) power. However, before the IPMC enables the module payload power, various criteria must be satisfied by both the carrier and the module, including power requirements and capabilities, matching interfaces, current module hot swap state, and any other special conditions
as specified by the Shelf Manager policy.
Page 10 ID 1052-3624, Rev. 1.0
AM4022 IPMI Firmware
1.4 Module Management Controller Hardware
On the AM4022 processor AMC module, the MMC is implemented using an NXP® ARM7 microcontroller with 512 kB of internal flash and 56 kB of RAM.
An external 64 kB serial EEPROM chip is used for firmware private data and for FRU inventory
storage. An additional external 4 MB serial SPI flash is used for redundant firmware image storage.
The MMC implements one local Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) interface with interrupt support for communication with the system side management software and the uEFI BIOS. The
IPMB-L bus is used for interconnection with the IPMC.
IPMI over LAN (IOL) and Serial Over LAN (SOL) are supported on all four Ethernet channels
of the module. SOL is only available on one Ethernet channel at a time.
The MMC provides access to various sensors which permit the monitoring of:
• System power voltages: +12V (PWR), +5V, +3.3V, +3.3V (MP)
• Temperatures: CPU and PCH die as well as airflow near AMC edge-connector
• Power Good, LAN links, IPMB link, board reset, POST code, boot error, CPU States (processor hot, THERMTRIP, …), IPMB-L state, Health error, IPMI watchdog, etc.
2. MMC Firmware
2.1 Key Features
The following are key features of the AM4022 MMC firmware:
• Compliant with the related IPMI and PICMG® specifications
• Firmware designed and specially made for AdvancedMC environments (ATCA, µTCA)
• Supports one KCS interface with interrupt support
• Supports the local IPMB (IPMB-L) interface
• Out-of-Band management and monitoring using IPMB-L interface permits access to
sensors regardless of the module’s CPU state
• Sensor thresholds fully configurable
• Sensor names prefixed with AMC module Bay ID (A1…4, B1…4)
• Usable in µTCA slots 1…12. Sensor names for slots 9…12 are prefixed with C1…C4
• Complete IPMI watchdog functionality
• Complete FRU functionality
• Firmware can be updated in the field
• Firmware image management may done by the open tool “ipmitool” (functions “hpm” or
“fwum”)
• Downloading new firmware image does not break currently running firmware activities
• Manual firmware image roll-back in case of upgrade failure
• Interoperable with other AMC, ATCA, or IPMI solutions
ID 1052-3624, Rev. 1.0 Page 11
IPMI Firmware AM4022
• Fail-over control to a recovery BIOS in the event a non-working uEFI BIOS is detected
• OEM commands for uEFI BIOS firmware bank selection and uEFI BIOS boot order
override
• IPMI over LAN (IOL) support
• Serial over LAN (SOL) support
• Graceful shutdown support
• The “Health” LED indicates whether the module is healthy (normal operation) and all
sensors are within the specified range (green) or at least one sensor is out of range
(amber).
