AT8902 Software Description 4.3.1 Power On Self Test 4.3.1.1 Test Routines Upon power on or system reset, the bootloader performs a set of Power On Self Tests (POST) to check the integrity of specific components. Components where a POST is available are: • SDRAM • PPC405 serial line • PPC405 I2C • PPC405 FE In the case that a POST fails, a POST error code is written into the postcode high byte register of the onboard CPLD.
AT8902 Software Description A list of defined postcodes is shown in the table below.
AT8902 4.4 Software Description IPMI Firmware The PPC communicates with the Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) using the Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) interface. The bootloader is able to communicate with the IPMC, e.g. for POST error logging purposes and fault resilient purposes. The memory subsystem of the IPMC consists of an integrated flash memory to hold the IPMC operation code and integrated RAM for data.
AT8902 4.4.1 Software Description Sensor Data Record (SDR) Every sensor on the Base Board is associated with a Sensor Data Record (SDR). Sensor Data Records contain information about the sensor’s identification such as sensor type, sensor name, sensor unit. SDR also contain the configuration of a specific sensor such as threshold/hystheresis and event generation capabilities that specifies sensor behaviour. Some field of the sensor SDR are configurable through IPMI v1.

These IPMB links work together for increased throughput where both busses are actively used for communication at any time.
AT8902 Software Description 4.4.2 Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Information 4.4.2.1 Base Board FRU Information This FRU information contains the IPMI defined Board and Product Information areas that hold the part number and serial number of the board and the Multirecord Information Area that contains the PICMG defined Point to Point Information records. The Internal Use Area is preallocated to 384 bytes and is free for customer use.
AT8902 4.4.5 Software Description LEDs For LED positions on the front plane refer to Chapter 3, section 3.10., Display Elements. 4.4.5.1 Hot Swap LED (Blue LED) The AT8902 Hub Board supports a blue Hot Swap LED mounted on the front panel. This LED indicates when it is safe to remove the Hub from the chassis. The on-board IPMC drives this LED to indicate the hot swap state.
AT8902 4.4.5.3 Software Description Health LED (ATCA LED2) Green LED Table 4-6: Health LED state LED state Description ON None of the health sensors is asserted Blinking At least one health sensor is asserted 4.4.5.4 Customer Definable LED (ATCA LED 3) This is an amber LED which can be used by a customer application. This LED can be controlled by PICMG 3.0 defined LED commands. 4.4.6 Hot Swap Process The AT8902 Hub Board has the ability to be hot-swapped in and out of a chassis.
AT8902 4.5 Software Description Firmware Administration A running AT8902 system requires – after the bootloader has passed control to the kernel – the kernel itself, the root file system (initrd), the FASTPATH switching application and a configuration file for base and fabric switch. These software components, together with the IPMC image, make up the AT8902 firmware. The flash holding the software is divided into twelve partitions.
AT8902 Software Description The firmware update procedure is designed to provide a failsafe capability to update IPMC, kernel, initrd, application and configuration settings separately. Each combination of these components can be used as a startup configuration, though they must be compatible to each other. Please always follow Kontron documentation for all your upgrades. Software versions provided with an official release are known to work together.

AT8902 Software Description • One Time Boot capability: After having updated the inactive kernel and root file system, the new system has to be started by rebooting the board. In the case that the update has installed an inoperable system which would cause the board to hang when booting, the next board reset must restart the previous known good version of kernel and root file system. This is achieved by programming the bootloader environment appropriately.
AT8902 Software Description This downloads the specified kernel package file via TFTP and writes the kernel image into the kernel partition of the specified slot (B). The MD5 checksum of the kernel image is checked before writing it into flash. The same procedure can be done with initrd and application packages. It is important not to overwrite the slots containing the currently active software, otherwise the One Time Boot mechanism does not make sense.
AT8902 4.5.3 Software Description Updating IPMI Updating the IPMI firmware is different from updating the other software parts as updating is done directly when invoking the download command. In the case that the update procedure fails or the update image is corrupted, the IPMC will be able to restart all the same by means of its rollback functionality. The IPMI software package file is stored in the result/ppc405/firmware path of the release directory tree.
