Sensors Implemented on the AM4150
The MMC includes various sensors for voltage or temperature monitoring and various others
for pass/fail type signal monitoring.
Each sensor is associated with a Sensor Data Record (SDR). Sensor Data Records contain
information about the sensor’s identification such as sensor type, sensor name, and sensor
unit. SDRs also contain the configuration of a specific sensor such as threshold, hysteresis or
event generation capabilities that specify each sensor's behavior. Some fields of the sensor
SDR are configurable using IPMI commands, others are always set to built-in default values.
Finally, one field, which is the sensor owner, must reflect the module’s address that enables the
AMC carrier to identify the owner of the sensor when it is scanned and merged into the AMC
carrier's SDR repository.
From the IPMI perspective, the MMC is set up as a satellite management controller (SMC). The
MMC supports sensor device IPMI commands and uses the static sensor population feature of
IPMI. All Sensor Data Records can be queried using device SDR commands.
Each sensor has a name field in its SDR. The sensor name has a prefix, which is automatically
adapted, dependent on the physical position of the module in a carrier or in a µTCA chassis.
The following prefixes are used for all sensors of an AMC module:
Module sensors that have been implemented are listed in the sensor list below.
