Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a BMC daughter card module based on a domestic MCU.
Background
The BMC (Baseboard management Controller) is an indispensable component of the server, and is used for monitoring the operation conditions of the server, such as temperature, fan speed, power supply condition, operating system status, and the like. The BMC operates independently of the server system, is not influenced by the server system, can perform operations such as firmware upgrading on the machine, checking machine equipment, remotely controlling the machine to be started and the like in a state that the machine is not started, and can record key logs when the server system is broken down.

The BMC special chip of the Xin Ye technology is high in price and needs to be matched with a DDR3 memory for use; the BMC management software of AMI also needs authorization, and the whole scheme has high implementation cost, strong specificity and high requirement on developers. Moreover, although the scheme is powerful, the boot time of the BMC is long, about 2 minutes.

Aiming at the problems of high cost, high requirement on developers and long BMC (baseboard management controller) starting time of the conventional BMC solution, the invention provides a BMC daughter card module based on a domestic MCU (micro control unit), which is used for extracting a BMC function from a server mainboard, realizing modularization of BMC, reducing the cost and the professional technical requirement on the developers and shortening the BMC starting time.
The invention provides a BMC daughter card module based on a domestic MCU, which comprises: the system comprises a domestic MCU chip, a first connector and a second connector which are connected with the MCU chip, wherein the first connector comprises a debugging serial port, a parallel data bus, an I2C bus for hanging a sensor, a 10/100M auto-negotiation network port and an IPMB bus; the second connector comprises a communication serial port, an analog quantity detection interface, a JTAG interface, a slot number detection interface, a case number detection interface, a BMC daughter card module reset signal and a general GPIO.
Furthermore, the domestic MCU chip is also connected with an SDRAM memory, a FLASH memory and an EEPROM memory.
Further, the SDRAM memory employs SCB33S256160 AE.
