Gigabit Ethernet Driver
A standard Linux Gigabit Ethernet driver is used for supporting the on-board 82546
Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller, accessible via the PCI bus and supporting the
backplane base interface.
RedBoot configures the PHY in GBIC mode and also configures the crosspoint switch.
Therefore, when Linux runs, the standard Linux Gigabit Ethernet driver can be used
without modification.
Linux Support Package Image Loading
The Boot Monitor, RedBoot, is used as the OS loader for Linux. See

Monitor.
BMC Access
The Linux BMC Access is an application that is responsible for communication between
the NPU and the BMC. It uses a UART connection to send and receive IPMI messages
between the BMC and ShMC (see
details).
The BMC Access exposes an API to other Linux application that allows:
The BMC Access interfaces are shown in
BMC Access interfaces
• Registration for the reception of IPMI messages based on NetFn/CMD information
• Reception of selected IMPI messages
• Sending responses to received IMPI messages
• Sending IPMI event messages to ShMC
