Key Features

The following are key features of the CP6003-SA/RA/RC’s IPMI firmware:

Compliant with IPMI specification 2.0

Compliant with PICMG 2.9 specification

Firmware designed and specially made for CompactPCI implementation and easy
integration with SAF-HPI

KCS SMS interface with interrupt support

Dual-port IPMB support

Out-of-band management and monitoring using the IPMB interface permits access to
sensors regardless of the board's CPU state

Sensor thresholds fully configurable

Sensor names prefixed with identification of owner (BMC without slot number or SMC
with slot number)

Complete IPMI watchdog functionality

Complete SEL, SDR repository and FRU functionality on BMC

Complete FRU functionality

Master Write-Read I

2

C support for external I

2

C devices communications (FRU,

EEPROM, FAN)

Two IPMI firmware banks allow an automatic backup
This allows manual and automatic firmware image roll-back (in case of an upgrade
failure).

The downloading of a new firmware image does not break currently running firmware or
payload activities.

Firmware bank management is done by the open tool “ipmitool” function “fwum” which
can update the firmware in the field.

Firmware fully customizable via OEM IPMI commands to satisfy customer requirements

Interoperable with other IPMI solutions

OEM board supervision and control extensions such as boot flash selection and firmware
boot order configuration

Automatic switching to an alternative uEFI image after having detected an inoperable
uEFI BIOS

IPMI over LAN (IOL) support

Serial over LAN (SOL) support

Graceful shutdown support

Handle switch and blue Hot Swap LED operation

The I0 and I1 LEDs indicate operational status of the IPMI firmware.

The board's write protection feature for non-volatile memories is supported. These
memories are:

I

2

C EEPROM for FRU data and parameters

SPI flash memory for firmware banks
