AVCRP is an Intel x86 server platform based on Granite Rapids processors. Its BMC is an AST2600-based RunBMC module on the platform's DC-SCM. The DC-SCM provides the board management features, such as USB, system UART over USB, status LEDs and the power and ID buttons. RunBMC was chosen to enable a broader BMC ecosystem and implementation flexibility. The BMC provides the platform's out-of-band management. It exposes the system UARTs, USB, network, KCS, MCTP over I3C and LPC POST code snooping, and it handles the status and ID LEDs, the power and reset controls and the host fault signals. > >> >> JNCRP is an Intel x86 server platform managed by an ASPEED AST2600 BMC. >> The BMC is the platform management controller for the host system and >> supports platform power and reset control, while participating in >> out-of-band monitoring and reporting for host faults during bring-up and >> normal operation. > > You don't mention RunBMC/DC-SCM here, so I assume the BMC is integrated > into the platform? Can you describe the purpose of the platform itself > (beyond the purpose of the BMC, which tends to be the same for most > platforms)? No, JNCRP also uses a DC-SCM. JNCRP is an Intel x86 server platform with Intel Xeon host processors. Its BMC is an AST2600-based platform management controller on the platform's DC-SCM, providing out-of-band management of the host through KCS, network and MCTP over I3C. The BMC controls platform power and reset, and monitors CPU and memory thermal and fault signals as well as host processor module (HPM) presence, FRU and fault signals. It also captures POST codes. I'll fold these into the commit messages in v6, together with the uart-routing fix, so there's no need to edit them when applying. Regards, Dawid
