BMC Baseboard Management Controller
In a compact CPCI chassis, there can be only one BMC present. The BMC
administrates the SEL and the SDRR for the complete system. The BMC is connected
to the other boards in the shelf via a dedicated bus (IPMB-0). The CP6002
management controller can be set in SMC mode and in BMC mode by an IPMI OEM
command. The factory setting is SMC.
BSP Board Support Package
FRU Field Replaceable Unit
Every board is a FRU. The FRU data contains information about the board such as
the part number and the serial number. See PICMG Specification 2.9 for complete
details on the FRU data structure. The free Linux tool ‘ipmitool’ can be used to update
or to display the FRU data
