    As per AMC.1 R1.0, the carrier board (At8001) is required to provide PCI-E 100MHz reference clock to the AMC on CLK3. However, modules are not required to use it. Kontron recommend using AMC- Express modules that use the reference clock on CLK3. If the module makes its own reference clock, then the spread spectrum of the AT8001 clock synthesizer needs to be disabled in the BIOS setup, otherwise the behavior of the PCI-Express link will be erratic at best.

  • Page 46 The IPMC provides six I2C bus connections. Two are used as the redundant IPMB bus connections to the backplane, one is used for IPMB-L bus with AMC modules, two others I2C are used to LAN connections for IPMI over LAN support and the last one is for local EEPROM storage. If an IPMB bus fault or IPMC failure occurs, IPMB isolators are used to switch and isolate the backplane/system IPMB bus from the faulted SBC board.

  • Page 108 About the debug LED: The idea is that the LED will light amber/green when in reset (this is hardware). As soon as the FPGA is programmed, the LED lights amber and is enabled for post-code display (see bellow). If the BIOS fail, it is possible to read the post-code. If the BIOS succeed, it will disable the post-code and enable HD activity on the green LED.
