Firmware
The mA-3011 contains a programmable micro-controller that interfaces to the ShMC (Shelf
Management Controller) as an IPMC (Intelligent Platform Management Controller). The
IPMC performs the following functions:
•
Manages power states, cooling requirements, and backplane interface requirements
for the mA-3011 via the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) stack.
•
Manages the power on/off control of the COMe-bHL6 module to prevent file system
corruption and to notify the ShMC when it is safe to remove chassis power.
•
Notifies the ShMC that the mA-3011 is a host device via E-Keying records, and thus
requires a root complex port on the backplane PCIe fabric.
Software
The mA-3011 provides general purpose processing capability in an AXIe format which
supports standard operating systems applicable to x86-64 architecture (Microsoft
Windows® 7, Linux, VxWorks, etc). Installed Viavi drivers allow for the orderly startup,
shutdown, reboot, and thermal management of the mA-3011 via the standard AXIe IPMI.
