AM4024(E)
IPMI
Module Management
Controller
NXP® ARM7 microcontroller with 512 kB firmware flash and automatic rollback
strategy
The MMC carries out IPMI commands such as monitoring several onboard tempera-
ture conditions, board voltages and the power supply status, and managing hot
swap operations.
The MMC is accessible via a local IPMB (IPMB-L) and one host Keyboard Controller
Style Interface (KCS)
One MMC system EEPROM for FRU data and firmware private data
Hot Swap
The AM4024(E) has full hot swap capability.

uEFI BIOS
Phoenix SecureCore Tiano™ (SCT) BIOS firmware based on the uEFI Specification and
the Intel Platform Innovation Framework for EFI:
» Serial console redirection via serial port
» LAN boot capability for diskless systems (standard PXE)
» Automatic fail-safe recovery in case of a damaged image
» Non-volatile storage of setting in the SPI boot flash (battery only required for
the RTC)
» Compatibility Support Module (CSM) providing legacy BIOS compatibility
based on Phoenix SCT3
» Command shell for diagnostics and configuration
» uEFI Shell commands executable from mass storage device in a pre-OS envi-
ronment (open interface)
» MMC support in the command shell
IPMI Firmware
IPMI firmware providing the following features:
» Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) interface
» IPMB-L interface for out-of-band management and sensor monitoring
» IPMI over LAN (IOL) and Serial over LAN (SOL) support
» Sensor Device functionality with configurable thresholds for monitoring
board voltages, CPU state, board reset, etc.
» FRU Inventory functionality
» IPMI Watchdog functionality (power-cycle, reset)
» Board monitoring and control extensions:
» Graceful shutdown support
» uEFI BIOS fail-over control: selection of the SPI boot flash (standard/re-
covery)
» Field-upgradable IPMI firmware:
» via the KCS, IPMB or IOL interfaces
» Download of firmware does not break the currently running firmware or
payload activities
