  • Page 58: 11/ Board Management Controller (Bmc)

     BMC Firmware Application When booting the KBox R-101 series, the controller starts the BMC bootloader. The BMC bootloader is responsible for verifying, whether a firmware application is available at a certain memory location in the controller. If a firmware application is available, the BMC bootloader hands over to the firmware application that performs a startup and controls the board.
  • Page 59: Download A Firmware Application

    The new firmware application is downloaded to the controller flash. After the download and verification, the KBox R-101 series must be switched off and switch on again, to be able to run the new downloaded version of the firmware application.
  • Page 60: Bmc Firmware Application

    The firmware application performs various duties when started automatically by the bootloader. Most duties are performed automatically and others duties can be controlled by the KEAPI (Kontron’s embedded API). For KEAPI information, see Chapter 11.3.2: Access to the Firmware Application.
  • Page 61: Special Considerations With The Firmware Application

    The firmware application sets a counter every 10 minutes and saves the information in the internal EEPROM that is not accessible to the operator. This value can be read (but not written) via the KEAPI. For example, a counter value of 360 means, the KBox R-101 series is running for 3600 minutes. 11.4.2.
