SOL supports and requires serial hardware handshake. This should be activated for the serial
port. Otherwise transmitted data might get lost. In any case the same serial parameters for the
used payload side serial interface and the MMC's serial interface must be used.
The parameters for the MMC's serial interface can be set by using the following command:
This command shows all options that can be set.
Further options are listed after issuing the following command:
11. OS Support / Tools
11.1 Linux Tools
OpenIPMI - KCS driver
Normally all drivers and kernel modules needed for communication between the payload-sided
software and the MMC firmware via the KCS interface come with the distribution. Latest sourc-
es can be downloaded from: http://openipmi.sourceforge.net. The OpenIPMI project may be
downloaded from this source as well. The OpenIPMI library package includes some applica-
tions and the needed libraries.
“ipmitool”
Another very useful all-in-one tool is the “ipmitool” (http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net). It provides
a user-friendly interface to many IPMI features and extensions, for example, to get sensor read-
ings, change sensor thresholds or access other Management Controllers via IPMB. Before “ip-
mitool” can be used, the OpenIPMI driver mentioned above must be loaded too.
11.2 OS Support - Board Support Packages
To see which Operating Systems are supported refer to the board's data sheet. Please visit
http://www.kontron.com to get the data sheet. Please also have a look in the download section
for latest versions of Board Support Packages or Firmware Updates.
For further information concerning IPMI, refer to the BSP documentation for the respective OS.
