MPCBL0010
10.4IPMB Link Sensor
The MPCBL0010 SBC provides two IPMB links to increase communication reliability to the shelf manager and other IPM devices on the IPMB bus. These IPMB links work together for increased throughput where both buses are actively used for communication at any point. A request might be received over IPMB Bus A, and the response sent over IPMB Bus B. Any requests that time out are retried on the redundant IPMB bus. In the event of any link state changes, the events are written to the MPCBL0010 SBC SEL. IPMC monitors the bus for any link failure and isolates itself from the bus if it detects that it is causing errors on the bus. Events are sent to signify the failure of a bus or, conversely, the recovery of a bus.
10.5Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Information
The FRU information provides inventory data about the boards where the FRU information device is located. The part number or version number can be read through software.
FRU information on the MPCBL0010 SBC includes data describing the SBC as specified in the PICMG 3.0 requirements. Additional
Note: The MPCBL0010 SBC provides 512 bytes of space to store custom FRU information. See Section 10.6, “Customizable FRU Area” for more information.
