 Functional Description

4.3.2 Memory Sockets

Two 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets are provided on the ATCA-F140 to host up to 2 GB of memory
in each DIMM socket using readily available single or dual rank DDR3 registered DIMMs. The
memory sockets are keyed for DDR3 modules using a 1.5 V supply voltage.

4.3.3 Memory Modules

The ATCA-F140 requires very low profile VLP DDR3 DIMM modules in order to fit within the
maximum component height profile of an ATCA blade. The ATCA-F140 comes standard with a
2GB SG572568EMR069P2SG module from Smart Modular. Operation with other memory
modules is not guaranteed.

Each DIMM module has a serial presents detect (SPD) SROM that provides all necessary
information (such as speed, size and type) to the boot firmware. The SPD SROM is read using
the I2C bus that is connected to the processor.

4.3.4 Persistent Memory

Persistent memory is part of the ATCA-F140 DDR memory subsystem. A dedicated register is
available in the FPGA to enable or disable persistent memory by software. If persistent memory
is enabled, the memory contents of the main memory stays unchanged after any applied reset,
except power-up reset. After power-up reset, the persistent memory features is disabled by
default.

A special procedure is followed to use the persistent memory feature.

 Set DDR_SDRAM_CFG_2[SR_IE] bit inside the memory controller of the P2020 QorIQ
Integrated Processor.
 Set these fields in the PIC of P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor
– EIVPRn[PRIORITY] to 0xF (highest priority)
– EIDRn[EP]
 Enable persistent memory feature by setting persistent memory bit inside the FPGA.
 Any reset may occur except for power-up reset.
 The FPGA generates and interrupt (IRQ_L[11]) to the P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor.

ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L) 73

Functional Description

 This external interrupt is steered through the PIC of P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor to
the IRQ_OUT signal.
 The IRQ_OUT signal from the interrupt controller is then automatically detected by the
DDR controller, which immediately causes main memory to enter self-refresh mode.
 1ms after the interrupt signal (IRQ_L[11]) the FPGA asserts the reset signal for at least
50ms.
 Read persistent memory bit in FPGA.
 Initialize main memory but do not clear persistent memory area.

4.4 IPMI
The IPMI function of the ATCA-F140 is implemented using the Artesyn common ATCA base
IPMI design. This building block is based on the Pigeon Point Systems IPMI implementation
using the Renesas HD64F2166 microcontroller which is part of the H8S controller family. The
IPMI building block implementation provides the following features:
 Two IPMB interfaces to the backplane
 One local IPMB interface for onboard IPMI
 One I2C/IPMB interface for intelligent or non-intelligent RTMs
 One private I2C interface for non-intelligent I2C devices
 Serial UART (SIPL) and KCS/LPC interfaces to the P2020 service processor
 Analog voltage sensor inputs
 Service processor boot flash fall over selection
 Watch-dog timer

76 ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L)

 Functional Description

4.5.1 Serial Configuration PROM

The FPGA is configured at power up by loading the contents of the SPI PROM device. This
configuration uses standard SPI flashes. For applications that demand fault recovery during
remote upgrade of the FPGA PROM, the ATCA-F140 board provides a build option to install a
backup device. Both PROMs are programmed with identical images during production
process. The IPMI infrastructure can be used to select the secondary boot device. The primary
PROM device is selected by default.

The SPI device chain also includes the SPI devices for the BCM8727 and BCM84740 microcode
so they can be upgraded by the service processor.

There are six different modes of operation for the serial configuration PROM:
 FPGA Configuration - The FPGA automatically controls the CSO_B, CCLK and MOSI pins
and reads the configuration data over DIN. Whether the configuration data is supplied by
SPI Flash 1 or 2 is determined by the routing of the CSO_B signal which is controlled by the
IPMC. AUX_SS1 and AUX_SS2 are deasserted by virtue of the fact the FPGA is not
configured.
 FPGA Configuration Flash programming - A SPI controller in the FPGA (driven by the service
processor over the local bus) controls CSO_B, CCLK and MOSI, and monitors DIN. The IPMC
controls the chip select routing to determine which of SPI Flash 1 or 2 is programmed.
AUX_SS1 and AUX_SS2 are deasserted by the SPI controller.
 BCM8727 microcode Flash programming - The same SPI controller in the FPGA is used as
with configuration Flash programming, but now AUX_SS1 is driven instead of CSO_B
(which is deasserted), allowing SPI Flash 3 to be programmed.
 BCM84740 microcode Flash programming - The same SPI controller in the FPGA is used as
with configuration Flash programming, but now AUX_SS2 is driven instead of CSO_B
(which is deasserted), allowing SPI Flash 4 to be programmed.
 BCM8727 microcode loading - The SPI port from the BCM8727 is routed to AUX_CS, CCLK,
MOSI and DIN pins in the FPGA to allow the microcode to be read from SPI Flash 3.
 BCM84740 microcode loading - The SPI port from the BCM84740 devices are routed to
AUX_CS, CCLK, MOSI and DIN pins in the FPGA to allow the microcode to be read from SPI
Flash 4.

4.6 Boot and User Flashes

4.6.1 Boot Flash

On the ATCA-F140, two 256 Mbit NOR Flash devices are used as boot devices for the service
processor. The flash devices used will be Micron PC28F256P33BF or equivalent devices. The
data bus width to the flash devices is 16 bit, supporting word accesses only.

4.6.2 Boot Bank Selection and Reprogramming

By default, the payload processor boots from Boot Flash device #1. An IPMI OEM command can
be used to send a message to the IPMC to change the boot device. The IPMC provides an IPMI
sensor to control the signal BOOT_BANK. If the BOOT_BANK signal is set high, the payload
processor will boot from Boot Flash device #2 after reset. The boot device from which the
service processor has booted (active bank) is write protected, whereas the redundant boot
device can be erased and reprogrammed. This is to prevent inadvertent corruption of both
boot banks during firmware updates.

78 ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L)

 Functional Description

For example, in order to update the firmware in both devices, the user could boot from Flash
device #1 and update Flash device #2. Then the user must switch the active boot bank and boot
from Flash device #2, which would then enable writes to Flash device #1. At this point, the
board has successfully booted the updated firmware image in Flash device #2, so it is safe to
allow the firmware update of Flash device #1.

Figure 4-3 Boot Bank Selection Logic

Table 4-2 Boot Bank Write Protection

BOOT
SELECT Chip Select Mapping Boot Device Write Protection
Low BOOT_FLASH_0_L = SP_CS0_L Boot Flash #1 Boot Flash #1 = Write Protected
BOOT_FLASH_1_L = SP_CS1_L Boot Flash #2 = Not Write Protected

High BOOT_FLASH_0_L = SP_CS1_L Boot Flash #2 Boot Flash #1 = Not Write Protected
BOOT_FLASH_1_L = SP_CS0_L Boot Flash #2 = Write Protected

In case of an IPMC firmware upgrade, the BOOT_BANK signal stays unchanged. After IPMC
firmware update is finished, the IPMC reads the status of BOOT_BANK before driving it again.
During debugging, it is possible to disconnect the BOOT_BANK signal driven by IPMC and
select its value by a mechanical switch setting.

4.6.3 eUSB Flash Module

The 2mm eUSB header is designed to support industry-standard low-profile eUSB modules.
The ATCA-F140 has a 2GB SG9ED52M2GGDNEMR module from Smart Modular. This is a
custom module developed by Smart Modular for Artesyn which includes 30u" of gold over 50u"
of nickel plating on the connector in order to meet NEBS requirements. This module is capable
of sustained read speeds up to 35MB/sec and write speeds up to 23MB/sec.

4.7 Base Channel Interface

The ATCA-F140 uses Broadcom BCM56334 as its base channel interface. It provides 24
10/100/1000 Mbps ports and four 10G stacking ports. It supports advanced Layer2 switching,
L3 routing, ACL and key carrier protocols. The PCI Express 1x interface of the Broadcom
BCM56334 is attached to one of the PCI Express ports of the integrated processor to provide
service processor configuration and management capability to switch.

Some of the 1GbE SGMII ports from the BCM56334 have the option of being routed through
muxes to two different destinations as seen in the block diagram above. The ATCA-F140 board
uses 2 channel or 4 channel high speed broadband 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer switches to
perform this function. The select pins for these mux/demux switches are routed to the FGPA.
Through the P2020 local bus interface, the service processor can program registers in the
FPGA to route the SGMII ports to the desired destination.

4.7.1 Base Channel PHYs

The ATCA-F140 uses two Broadcom BCM54680 octal PHYs, two BCM54616S PHYs, and a
BCM8727 PHY for the base channel. Each BCM54680 supports eight SGMII channels to the
BCM56334 and provides the physical layer functions for the 10/100/1000Base-T connections
and 10/100Base-TX connections to the backplane. The BCM54616S is a single PHY that
supports an SGMII channel to the BCM56334 and provides the physical layer functions for a
10/100/1000Base-T connection to the backplane.

The BCM8727 PHY is a two port XAUI to 10Gb SFI PHY that provides the interface between two
of the Base Switch 10GbE stacking ports and the front panel SFP+ modules. The BCM8727
requires an external SPI flash device of at least 16 Kbytes to load microcode into the device. An
AT25128B or equivalent SPI flash device will be used for this purpose.

4.8 Fabric Channel Interface

The ATCA-F140 uses Broadcom BCM56846 switch device for the fabric channel interface. It is
a high-performance 640Gbps network switch with 18 integrated warpCores (16 active). Each
warpCore has four integrated 10G SerDes allowing native support of one 40GbE or four 10GbE
ports. On the ATCA-F140, the BCM56846 is used to provide sixteen 40G ports and four 1G
ports.

Twelve of the 40Gbps ports are routed to the backplane switch fabric support of a fourteen slot
chassis. Two 40Gbps uplink interfaces from the switch are routed to the Zone 3 connectors for
use by an RTM. Two other 40Gbps uplink ports are routed to BCM84740PHYs to provide two
QSFP+ uplinks on the front panel. The P2020 service processor communicates with the
BCM56846 through the PCI Express interface to initialize and manage the switch.

Two 1G-SGMII ports are routed to the backplane for switch fabric support of the two extra slots
in a sixteen slot chassis, or optionally, to the TopSync device and Fabric Channel 1. One 1G-
SerDes port is routed to AMC port 1. One 1G-SGMII port is routed to update channels 3 and 4
to form a Fabric switch-to-AMC cross-connect with the other switch board across the
backplane.

4.9 SFP+ and QSFP+ Modules

The ATCA-F140 provides two SFP+ and two QSFP+ module receptacles on the front panel, the
SFP+ for base uplinks and the QSFP+ for fabric uplinks.

4.9.1 SFP+ Modules

The SFP+ signals RX_LOS, TX_FAULT and MOD_ABS are monitored for status by the BCM8727
PHY. Status changes will result in a service processor interrupt through the PHY's LASI signal.
The service processor can then access the module status registers inside the BCM8727. The
signals are also connected to the FPGA to allow faster detection of a loss of signal condition.
Each SFP+ signal TX_DIS can be driven by the BCM8727 to disable the SFP+ module's
transmitter (laser output).

Each SFP+ module's I2C signals are routed to the BCM8727 PHY which provides two separate
SFP+ I2C interfaces. The service processor uses these I2C interfaces, accessed through the PHY
management port, to read the module's on-board EEPROM information to determine type and
vendor specific information.

84 ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L)

4.9.2 QSFP+ Modules

The QSFP+ signals INTL and MODPRSL are monitored for status by the BCM84740 PHYs and the
FPGA. Status changes will result in a service processor interrupt through the PHY's LASI signal.
The service processor can then access the module status registers inside the BCM84740. Each
BCM84740 transceiver's LASI interrupt signal is routed to the FPGA to generate an interrupt to
the service processor. The TXONOFF signals for both BCM84740s are controlled by the
FIX_TXONOFF signals from the FPGA. This allows the FPGA to keep the transmitters OFF until
the software can come up and take control. The FPGA also provides the QSFP+ LPMODE signals
that control whether the module is in low-power mode or high-power mode.

Each QSFP+ module's I2C signals are routed to the corresponding BCM84740 PHY. The service
processor uses these I2C interfaces, accessed through the PHY management port, to read the
module's on-board EEPROM information to determine type and vendor specific information.
QSFP+ status and control registers can also be accessed through the I2C interface.

4.10 AMC Bay

The ATCA-F140 provides one AMC bay to support a processor AMC as an application processor.
The slot is connected by an AMC type B+ connector and supports a midsize single width PrAMC
module. The PrAMC has access to an onboard SATA drive and to a dual gigabit Ethernet
controller through the AMC.0 ports. The IPMC sets a control output pin during E-keying
configuration to control the direction of a Pericom PI2EQX3421 SATA mux, which determines
whether the service processor or the PrAMC will have access to the SATA hard disk drive. For
debug purposes, the SATA mux control from the IPMC is routed through the FPGA so that the
SATA mux control can be manipulated by the service processor through the FPGA.

The ATCA-F140 routes AMC ports 8-11 directly to the RTM for support of PCI Express
controllers on future versions of RTMs.

 Functional Description

The ATCA-F140 provides current limited power control to the AMC. An electronic circuit
breaker device is used to control the 12V payload power and 3.3V management power to the
AMC as well as providing current limiting.

4.10.1 82571EB Dual Gigabit Ethernet MAC/PHY

The Intel 82571EB is a PCI Express based single-chip dual Gigabit Ethernet MAC controller with
integrated PHY and SerDes cores. Controller 0 is routed to the AMC-to-Base cross-connect on
update channels (0:1). Controller 1 is routed to the AMC-to-Fabric cross-connect on update
channels (3:4).

The 82571EB uses an external SPI flash device to store configuration data, MAC addresses, etc.
An Atmel AT25128B device is used for this purpose.

4.10.2 Channel Cross-Connect

The base and fabric channel cross-connect scheme using the 82571EB is shown in the figures
below

4.10.3 Storage Hard Disk Drive

The ATCA-F140 provides a SATA connector and mounting features to install a 2.5" SATA hard
disk drive on the board. This HDD can be used to store system management data,
configuration data, and boot images for the service processor or the PrAMC.

The HDD can be accessed by either the service processor or the PrAMC processor depending
on the state of the onboard SATA mux. The mux is controlled by an output of the IPMC which
sets the selection bit during E-keying initialization. By default, the mux is configured to
connect the SATA drive to the service processor.

4.11 Telecom Clocking

The ATCA-F140 supports an optional telecom clocking subsystem that is responsible for the
generation and distribution of traceable telecom clocks for use throughout the local shelf and
up to five connected extension shelves.
 T0 and T4 PLLs for the generation of T[0] system clocks and a T[4] SSU clock
 Dual T1/E1 ports to allow reception of redundant T[3] BITS/SSU clocks

4.11.2 BIT/SSU Support

Many offices where the ATCA-F140 is likely to be deployed includes a central Building
Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) or Source Synchronization Unit (SSU).

A BITS is typically an output-only device that provides a precision timing reference, known as
the T[3] clock, to shelf-level products that use this for synchronizing the local telecom clocks.
An SSU is similar to a BITS but can in turn synchronize itself to a linecard derived reference
known as a T[4] clock.

The ATCA-F140 provides dual T1/E1 interfaces to support both BITS and SSU operation.

4.12.1 Service Processor Core Reset Domain

The service processor core includes the P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor, its memory and the
onboard resources attached to the local bus.

4.12.1.1 Service Processor

The hard reset signal HRST_L causes the P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor to abort all current
internal and external transactions and set all registers to their default values. HRST_L may be
asserted at any time completely asynchronously. HRST_L needs to be asserted during power-
on reset. During HRST_L assertion, the configuration input signals are sampled into registers
inside the P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor.

ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L) 95

Functional Description

The request output signal HRESET_REQ_L of the P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor indicates
to the board that a condition requiring the assertion of HRST_L has been detected.
HRESET_REQ_L may be activated by a watchdog timer inside the P2020 QorIQ Integrated
Processor, a boot sequence failure or by software. HRESET_REQ_L may occur at any time
synchronous to the core complex bus clock and stays active until HRST_L is asserted.

The soft reset input signal SRST_L causes a machine check interrupt to both e500 cores of the
P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor. SRST_L need not to be asserted during a hard reset. SRST_L
may be asserted at any time completely asynchronously.

An output signal READY from each core indicates to the board that the cores have completed
the reset operation and are not in a power-down state. This information is monitored by the
IPMC.

4.12.1.2 Memory
The registers of the registered DIMM(s) will be reset in parallel to the HRST_L signal of the
P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor.

4.12.1.3 Onboard Flash

All onboard boot flash devices which are attached to the local bus are reset in parallel when the
HRST_L signal is asserted.

4.12.1.4 Persistent Memory

The persistent memory is only reset after power-on reset. In all other onboard reset events, the
persistent memory is not reset if the persistent memory feature has been enabled.

4.12.2 Ethernet Switch Resets

4.12.2.1 Broadcom BCM56334

A power-on or hard reset is initiated by an active low pulse on the RESET_L signal of the
Broadcom BCM56334 Base Channel Switch. The initialization process loads all the pin
configurable modes, clears all switching tables and places the switch in a disabled and idle
state.

96 ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L)

 Functional Description

4.12.2.2 Broadcom BCM56846

A power-on or hard reset is initiated by an active low pulse on the SYS_RST_L signal of the
Broadcom BCM56846 Fabric Channel Switch. The initialization process loads all the pin
configurable modes, clears all switching tables and places the switch in a disabled and idle
state.

4.12.3 Physical Interconnect Devices

Broadcom PHYs use a hardware reset pin RESET_L, which resets all internal nodes to a known
state. RESET_L is always asserted after power-up. Mode pins are latched at the time that
hardware reset is deasserted.

4.12.4 AMC Bay

The IPMC on the ATCA-F140 is responsible for resetting the AMC bay. It initiates a reset cycle
after an AMC module is plugged in or if the payload power of the carrier board is in a power
cycle. The IPMC drives the ENABLE# signal active low as an input to the AMC module. The
82571EB device is reset in parallel to the AMC.

4.12.5 Rear Transition Module

The RTM-ATCA-F140 is reset by two reset sources, the IPMC and the reset controller inside the
FPGA. During normal operation, the RTM-ATCA-F140 and the ATCA-F140 front board are
treated as one reset domain using the RTM_RST_L signal from the FPGA.

4.13 Interrupt Structure

All external interrupts belonging to the service processor interrupt structure are routed to the
P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor. The PIC inside the P2020 QorIQ Integrated Processor is
compliant with the OpenPIC architecture. The interrupt controller provides interrupt
management, and is responsible for receiving hardware-generated interrupts from different
sources (both internal and external), prioritizing them, and delivering them to the CPU for
servicing. The PIC is set to the mixed mode on ATCA-F140 so that both internal and external
interrupts are delivered using normal priority and delivery mechanisms.

ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L) 97

Functional Description

The interrupt sources are collected by the onboard FPGA. This FPGA includes an interrupt
source register, which reflects the actual interrupt status. The interrupt inputs of the FPGA are
mapped to the IRQ[11:0] signals, which are connected to the P2020 QorIQ Integrated
Processor.

4.14 JTAG Support

The ATCA-F140 JTAG configuration consists of multiple JTAG chains controlled by a JTAG
multiplexer. This device has 7 local JTAG slave ports. The ATCA-F140 has devices which reside
in the 3.3V management power and the 12V payload power domains. The JTAG multiplexer,
the power control CPLD and the H8S processor are powered from 3.3V management power.
The rest of the JTAG devices are powered from payload power.

When the Asset JTAG programming cable is installed on the header, the payload power bypass
enable signal is grounded, enabling the +12V payload power supply and each of the onboard
point of load supplies. This allows all of the JTAG devices to be accessed regardless of the state
of the power control CPLD.

4.15 Real Time Clock

An external 32.768 kHz crystal sources the internal real time clock inside ICH10R with a
frequency tolerance of 20 PPM. The RTC is fully DS1287, MC14618, PC87911 and Y2K
compliant and provides 256 bytes of backed up CMOS RAM (of which 14 bytes containing the
RTC time and date info and RTC configuration). During power-down, the RTC consumes
0.9uA/hr. The optional power-down backup method uses a Super CAP with a 1 Farad capacity.
This provides 300 hours of RTC/SRAM backup. The default battery is an external +3V lithium
battery with a capacity of 200mAh, which provides 3 years of backup.

 Chapter 5
U-Boot

5.1 Overview
This product uses the U-Boot, a boot loader software based on the GNU Public License. It
boots the blade and is the first software to be executed on after it is powered on.
Its main functions are:
 Initialize the hardware
 Pass boot parameters to the Linux kernel
 Starting the Linux kernel
 Update Linux kernel and U-boot images

This section describes U-Boot features and procedures that are specific to the ATCA-F140. For
general information on U-Boot, see http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/WebHome.

5.2 Accessing U-Boot

The U-boot can be accessed using the serial interface connector at the faceplate of the ATCA-
F140. To connect, you need a computer with a serial interface connector and a terminal
emulation software such as HyperTerm running on it.

1. Connect the console interface connector of the ATCA-F140 to the serial interface connector
of the computer.

2. Configure the terminal software to use the access parameters that are specified in U-Boot.
By default, the access parameters are as follows:
 Baud rate: 9600
 Flow control: XON/XOFF
 PC ANSI
 8 data bits
 No parity

ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L) 101

U-Boot

 1 stop bit

These serial access parameters are the default values. These can be changed from within U-
Boot. The console port of the F140 blade also supports the baud rates of 38400 and 115200.
For details refer to the U-boot documentation.

3. Boot the ATCA-F140 by resetting it or powering it up.

4. Press CTRL+C when you see a prompt onscreen.

U-Boot aborts the boot sequence and enters into a command line interface mode.

If you want to disable the auto-boot feature of U-boot and make sure that U-Boot directly
enters into the command line interface mode after the next reboot/power up, enter the
following command:

setenv bootdelay -1

saveenv

5.3 Configuring Boot Options

5.3.1 Configuring U-Boot for Network Boot

In this mode, U-Boot downloads and boots the Linux kernel from an external TFTP server and
mounts a root file system located on a network server.

This procedure assumes that the ATCA-F140 is connected to a TFTP server and that the U-Boot
command nfsboot has been defined. The external TFTP server must be connected using the
ATCA-F140 face plate connector "ETH5", which is the Ethernet management interface. Any
other interfaces, such as the base or fabric interfaces, are not yet functional at this stage of the
boot phase, as the corresponding drivers are not initialized yet.

102 ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L)

 U-Boot

For more information, see the U-Boot documentation.

1. Execute the following commands to specify the IP addresses of the ATCA-F140 and the TFTP
server by entering the following commands:
setenv ipaddr <IP address of ATCA-F140>
setenv serverip <IP address of TFTP server>

2. Specify the names of the Linux kernel image and the NFS root directory.
setenv bootfile <Linux kernel image file name>
setenv rootpath <NFS root directory>
setenv blobfile <dtb file name>

3. Configure U-Boot to use NFS boot.

setenv bootcmd $nfsboot

4. Depending on your network configuration, you may have to specify a gateway IP address
and a netmask. Use the following commands:
setenv gatewayip <gateway IP>
setenv netmask <netmask>

5. Enter saveenv, and then enter boot.

5.3.2 Configuring U-Boot to Boot from RAM Disk

If the Linux kernel and root file system are available as RAM disk image, you may want to boot
from that RAM disk.

This procedure assumes that the U-Boot command ramboothas been defined and that the
RAM disk image is stored on an external TFTP server that is connected to the ATCA-F140.
During each boot process, the image is downloaded from the TFTP server into the main
memory of the blade. The external TFTP server must be connected using the ATCA-F140 face
plate connector "ETH5", which is the Ethernet management interface. Any other interfaces,
such as the base or fabric interfaces, are not yet functional at this stage of the boot phase, as
the corresponding drivers are not initialized yet.

1. Specify the IP address of the ATCA-F140 and the TFTP server that contains the RAM disk:
setenv ipaddr <IP address of ATCA-F140>
setenv serverip <IP address of TFTP server>

2. Depending on your network configuration, you may have to specify a gateway IP address
and a netmask. Use the following commands:
setenv gatewayip <gateway IP>

ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L) 103

U-Boot

setenv netmask <netmask>

3. Specify the name of the RAM disk image file:

setenv ramdiskfile <filename>
setenv blobfile <dtb file name>

4. Configure U-Boot to boot from RAM disk:

setenv bootcmd $ramboot

5. Specify the name of the kernel image file:

setenv bootfile <filename>

6. Enter saveenv, and then enter boot.

5.3.3 Configuring U-Boot to Boot from Flash

The blade provides two redundant boot flashes which contain the U-boot images and also
Linux kernel images. It also contains two redundant root file systems.

This section describes how to configure U-boot to boot a Linux kernel stored in the boot flash
and to mount the root file system in the user flash. The procedure uses the U-Boot script
flashboot, which has been predefined by Artesyn.

1. Configure U-boot to boot from flash:

setenv bootcmd $flashboot

2. Depending on your system configuration, you may want to specify network

parameters as follows:
setenv ipaddr <IP address>
setenv serverip <IP address>
setenv netmask <netmask>

5.4 Selecting the Boot Flashes

This configuration determines which flash the blade is to boot from on the next restart. You can
either boot through IPMI or through a U-Boot command.
 Using IPMI - This option uses the System Boot Options feature. For more information, see
the ATCA-F140: Control using IPMI Programmer’s Reference.
 Using U-Boot command - Use bootsel 0|1|switch, where 0 selects boot flash 0, 1
selects boot flash 1 and switch selects the currently stand-by boot flash.

Generally, there is a fixed link between the U-Boot firmware and the kernel image in the
respective boot flash. This means that when the U-Boot in a particular flash is executed, it
subsequently boots the kernel image in the same flash.

If necessary, however, you can select the kernel to boot manually using the following
commands:
 setenv kerneladdr e0000000 (for the kernel in the currently active boot flash)
 setenv kerneladdr e2000000 (for the kernel in the currently stand-by boot flash).

Use these commands with care.

Each of the two U-Boot firmware images in the two flashes holds a separate set of U-Boot
environmental variables/boot parameters. Therefore, after switching to another boot flash,
you may need to reconfigure the boot parameters/environmental variables of the new U-
Boot image according to your needs.

5.5 Using the Persistent Memory Feature

Persistent memory means that the memory RAM is not deleted during a reset. Memory
content can be deleted by performing a power cycle or by temporarily removing the power and
then powering up the blade again. This feature is enabled by default on the ATCA-F140.

This feature can be useful in many situations, including:

 Analyzing kernel logs after a Linux kernel panic
 Defining a particular memory region for the persistent storage of application specific data

U-Boot

Analyzing Kernel Log Files after a Kernel Panic

If the Linux OS running on the ATCA-F140 indicates a kernel panic and you wish to analyze the
cause, then you can issue a reset (using the face plate button for example) and subsequently
analyze kernel log files. Because of the persistent memory feature, these log files are still
available in the memory.

To analyze the kernel log files:

1. Issue a reset.

2. Connect to U-Boot. For more information, see Accessing U-Boot on page 101.
3. Using the kernel memory map, find the memory addresses of the kernel logs.

4. To display the kernel logfile at any of these memory addresses, enter the following
command: .printf (<memory address>)

The persistent memory feature can also be useful in the storage of application-specific data.
Use the standard U-Boot variable pram to reserve a memory region (at the end of the physical
memory). This allows the reserved region to not be overwritten by U-Boot. U-Boot reports less
memory to the Linux kernel (through the mem parameter) so that Linux will not use it either.

5.8.2 Controlling the Execution of the POST

The environment variable post_control allows to configure when POST is executed.
Possible values of post_control and their meaning are described in the following table.

Table 5-7 Environment Variable post_control

Value Description
off Disables POST altogether
always POST is executed after all types of blade resets
hard POST is executed only after hard resets. A hard reset is a
reset of the entire payload and can be issued by the
following reset sources:
 Watchdog inside CPU
 Boot sequence failure
 Software
 Face plate reset key
A hard reset is NOT an CPU internal reset, such as a reset
issued through the U-Boot command reset or the
Linux command reboot.

ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L) 111

U-Boot

You can start the POST execution manually by invoking the following command at the U-Boot
command line interface: .post_all()

As you can see from the syntax, this command invokes an underlying C function which starts
the POST execution. This command can be invoked at any time and it is independent of the
environment variable post_enable.

5.11 Updating U-Boot

This procedure describes how you can update U-Boot using the U-Boot command line
interface. It is assumed that the new U-Boot image is placed in the download directory of a
TFTP server which has network access to the ATCA-F140. All files names and IP addresses
shown below were only chosen for illustration purposes. This procedure consists of updating
the stand-by boot flash and then switching the boot flashes, so that after the next reset/boot
flash the ATCA-F140 boots from the new active, previously updated boot flash.

It is recommended that you update the U-boot firmware using the BBS/Linux or the shelf
manager. Refer to the respective documentation for further details.

When updating the U-Boot image, the U-Boot boot parameters are not updated. They remain
as they were before the update. The boot parameters are stored separately from the U-Boot
image in a memory area within each boot flash. See also Table "Linux Devices" on page 107.

Each of the two U-Boot firmware images in the two flashes holds a separate set of U-Boot
environmental variables/boot parameters. Therefore, after switching to another boot flash,
you may need to reconfigure the boot parameters/environmental variables of the new U-
Boot image according to your needs.

1. Connect to U-boot. For more information, see Accessing U-Boot on page 101.
2. Specify the IP address of the ATCA-F140 and the TFTP server by entering the following
commands:
setenv ipaddr <IP address of ATCA-F140>
setenv serverip <IP address of TFTP server>
3. Depending on your network configuration, you may have to specify a gateway IP address
as well as a netmask:
setenv gatewayip <gateway IP>
setenv netmask <netmask>

5. Unprotect the currently stand-by U-Boot bank:

protect off 2:252-258
Un-Protect Flash Sectors 252-258 in Bank # 1....... done

protect off 2:252-258 addresses to the currently stand-by U-Boot bank, while
protect off 1:252-258 addresses the currently active U-Boot bank.

6. Erase the following flash area in the currently stand-by U-Boot bank:
erase e3f80000 e3ffffff
........ done
Erased 4 sectors

The currently stand-by U-boot bank is always mapped to the start address 0xE2000000,
while the currently active U-boot bank is always mapped to 0xE0000000.

If you wish to set a particular U-boot bank into the active state, then you need to set the
System Boot Options Parameter #96 (bit 0) appropriately and reboot. If this bit is set to 0,
then U-boot bank 1 will be active after the next reboot. If the bit is set to 1, then U-boot bank
2 will be active. Note that depending on the blade’s IPMI firmware version, the switch
between the U-boot banks may be effective immediately.

7. Copy the image from the RAM to the currently stand-by U-boot bank:
cp.b $loadaddr e3f80000 80000

A Replacing the Battery

A.1 Replacing the Battery

The battery provides data retention of seven years summing up all periods of actual data use.
Artesyn therefore assumes that there is usually no need to replace the battery except, for
example, in case of long-term spare part handling.

Board/System Damage
 Incorrect replacement of lithium batteries can result in a hazardous explosion.
 Therefore, replace the battery as described in this chapter.

Data Loss
 If the battery voltage drops below the minimum required level, the RTC time will be
lost.
 Therefore, replace the battery before seven years of actual battery use have elapsed.

Data Loss
 Replacing the battery will result in RTC data loss. The RTC will have to be re-initialized
after the battery is replaced.

Data Loss
 Installing another battery type other than what is mounted at board delivery may cause
limited operation. This is because other battery types may be specified for other
environments or may have a shorter lifespan. Therefore, only use the same type of
lithium battery as is already installed.

ATCA-F140 Installation and Use (6806800M67L) 117

 Replacing the Battery

Replacement Procedure

To replace the battery, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the battery. See Figure 3-2 for location.

PCB and Battery Holder Damage

 Removing the battery with a screw driver may damage the PCB or the battery holder. To
prevent this damage, do not use a screw driver to remove the battery from its holder.

2. Install the new battery following the "positive" and "negative" signs.
