The FWUM itself is a microcontroller with internal flash to store MMC firmware image. Functions of this microntroller are kept to a minimum. The FWUM firmware is field updatable. Note: The MMC and the FWUM have an internal hardware watchdog. AM4301 User's Guide... -
Page 17: Hardware Management Overview
MMC will send an event to the Carrier AMC if any of the thresholds are exceeded. To increase the reliability of the AM4301 SBC management subsystem, an external watchdog supervisor only for the MMC is implemented. The MMC must strobe the external watchdog at two- second intervals to ensure continuity of operation of the board's management subsystem. -
Page 18: Hardware Sensors
Board Features From IPMI prespective, the AM4301 management controller is set up as a satellite management controller (SMC). It does support sensor devices, and use the IPMI static sensor population feature of IPMI v1.5 to merge the hot swaped AMC sensor with the carrier board sensors population. The usual way the AMC Carrier is informed about an AMC insertion is through the AMC Module Hot Swap sensor and a radial presence line on the AMC connector. - Page 19 2.4.2.1 IPMB-L Link Sensor The AM4301 has an IPMB-L links to communicate with the AMC Carrier and other chassis devices on the chassis IPMB-0 bus. MMC monitors the bus for any link failure and send the bus failure event to the AMC Carrier upon the recovery occurs.

Page 20: Field Replaceable Unit (Fru) Information
The part number or version number can be read through software. FRU information in the AM4301 includes data describing the AM4301 board as per AMC.0 R1.0 specification requirements. This information is retrieved by the Carrier AMC, enabling reporting of board-specific information through an standardized mechanism. -
Page 21: Mmc Firmware Upgrade Procedure
Please note that during FWUM firmware upgrade the MMC is held in reset. 2.4.7.1 Hot-Swap Process The AM4301 AMC has the ability to be hot-swapped in and out of a AMC Carrier. The onboard MMC manages the AMC's power-up and power-down transitions. The list below illustrates this process for power down request. - Page 22 Hot-Swap LED The AM4301 supports a blue Hot Swap LED mounted on the front panel. This LED indicates when it is safe to remove the AMC from the AMC Carrier. The on-board MMC drives this LED to indicate the hot- swap state.
