  • Page 99 An IPMI driver is included in the Linux distribution available for the blade. 4.10.3 Watchdog The IPMC contains two watchdogs. One watchdog is implemented in the IPMC hardware and supervises the operation of the IPMC itself. This watchdog is not configurable and is permanently enabled. ATCA-F120 Installation and Use (6806800D06F)
  • Page 100 Your software may enable/disable and configure the watchdog at any time using IPMI commands. For details, refer to the IPMI V. 1.5 specification. By default the watchdog is disabled. ATCA-F120 Installation and Use (6806800D06F)
  • Page 101 The ATCA-F120 uses the boot loader software U-Boot (current version V1.1.6). U-Boot is open source software based on a GPL license model and is the first software to be executed on the ATCA-F120 after powering up the blade. It is stored in the boot flashes and its main functions are:...

  • Page 104 It is assumed that the RAM disk image is stored on an external TFTP server which is connected to the ATCA-F120. During each boot process, the RAM disk image will be downloaded from the TFTP server into the main memory of the ATCA-F120. Furthermore it is assumed that the U- Boot command ramboot has previously been defined.
  • Page 105 5.3.3 Configuring U-Boot to Boot from Flash The ATCA-F120 provides two redundant boot flashes which contain the U-boot images and also Linux kernel images. It also provides two redundant user flashes which contain two redundant root file systems. The user flashes are NAND flash devices. See also Table "Linux...
  • Page 106 One way to switch between the two boot flashes and thus determine which boot flash the ATCA-F120 is to boot from, is via IPMI using the System Boot Options feature. Refer to the ATCA- F120: Control via IPMI Programmer’s Reference for details.
  • Page 107 Analyzing Kernel Log Files after a Kernel Panic If the Linux OS running on your ATCA-F120 indicates a kernel panic and you wish to analyze the cause of it, then you can issue a reset (via the face plate button for example) and subsequently analyze kernel log files.
  • Page 108 It allows to reserve a memory region (at the end of the physical memory) which is not overwritten by U-Boot. Furthermore, U-Boot will report less memory to the Linux kernel (via the mem parameter) so that Linux will not use it either. Refer to the U-boot documentation for further details.
