8.9. IPMI Firmware Code

8.9.1.

Firmware Upgrade

The IPMI's operational code can be upgraded via the open-source tool "ipmitool" or via uEFI BIOS commands. The
upgrade tool/commands allow download and activation of new operational code and also rollback to the "last known
good" operational code. For further information on the IPMI firmware upgrade, refer to the uEFI BIOS Chapter in this
manual and the IPMI Firmware User Guide.
8.9.2.

IPMI Firmware and FRU Data Write Protection

If the board is plugged in a write-protected CompactPCI slot, neither the IPMI firmware or the FRU data can be
updated or reprogrammed. The IPMI firmware stores the write protect state in it's local NV-RAM.
The write protection mode is still active when the payload is off even if the IPMI firmware
reboots. To disable the write protection mode, plug the board in a non-write-protected
CompactPCI slot and switch on the payload.

8.10. LAN Functions

Four Gigabit Ethernet channels on the board support IPMI over LAN (IOL) and Serial over LAN (SOL). While IOL serves
to transport IPMI commands and their responses via Gigabit Ethernet, SOL serves to transport any serial data via
Gigabit Ethernet.
Please note that IOL and SOL need the Ethernet device to be powered. Therefore, the board (payload) must be fully
powered.
For information on the assignment of the IOL/SOL channels, refer to the "Gigabit Ethernet" section in the "Functional
Description" chapter.
