This course covers Intelligent Platform Management Interface version 2

Objectifs Explaining the functional units used in an IPMI system (BMC, SDR, SEL, PEF, etc.). Understanding the bus protocols on which IPMI messages are transferred : I2C, IPMB, SMbus. Clarifying the chassis management based on ICMB protocol. Sending alerts through LAN or serial/modem interfaces. Explaining the parameterizing of message channels. Studying the IPMI commands through sequences. Detailing how system software and BMC embedded software interact. This course has been delivered several times to companies developing complex processing systems. A more detailed course description is available on request at training@ac6-training.com

Prerequisites Experience of a 32-bit processor, such as NXP ColdFire or AMCC 4XX microcontrollers. Knowledge of Ethernet is recommended, see our course reference N1 - Ethernet and switching course .
