Page 15: Board Features
Board Features 2. Board Features Block Diagram SATA Switching The AM450x features a SATA switching port device which enables the system to interconnect AMC port 2 or 3 to SATA drive port 0, which can be set automatically by the MMC. This makes it possible to design redundant storage configurations for MicroTCA open modular platforms. -
Page 16: Hardware Management Overview
Board Features Hardware Management Overview The AMC Carrier communicates with the Module Management Controller (MMC) using the IPMB-L channel. The memory subsystem of the MMC consists of an integrated flash memory to hold the MMC operation code and integrated RAM for data. The field replacement unit (FRU) inventory information is stored in the non volatile memory on an EEPROM connected via a local I2C interface to the MMC microcontroller. -
