    10. Initialize main memory but do not clear persistent memory area. IPMI The IPMI function on ATCA-F125 is implemented using the SMART Embedded Computing common ATCA base IPMI design. This building block is based on the Pigeon Point Systems IMPI implementation using the Renesas HD64F2166 microcontroller which is part of the H8S controller family.

    Functional Description Figure 4-2 IPMI Block Diagram The ATCA-F125 board design supports a KCS LPC-based interface between the H8S controller and the P2020 service processor. The H8S contains a native Low Pin Count (LPC) interface. The P2020 does not have a LPC interface so a P2020 Local Bus to LPC bus interface is implemented inside the FPGA.
