ATCA Compliant features
The ATCA-C110/1G complies with the following features as per the PICMG 3.0 Specification.
■ ATCA Base Interface
The Base Interface of the ATCA-C110/1G is a Gigabit Ethernet interface in a dual star
topology on the backplane as per the PICMG 3.0 Specification.
■ ATCA Fabric Interface
The Fabric Interface of the ATCA-C110/1G is a Gigabit Ethernet Interface supporting a
Full-Mesh or a Dual-Star topology.
The Fabric Interface consists of eight Gigabit Ethernet lines from the backplane. These
lines are routed directly to the switching fabric on the FIM. Port Mapping is as per the
PICMG 3.1 Specification for Ethernet and Fiber channel for ATCA systems.
■ IPMI Interface
IPMI support on ATCA-C110/1G is implemented using an IPMC block built around the
Atmel AVR micro-controller family (ATMegaxx). Refer to System Management on page 41
for more details.
■ Synchronization Clock Interface
The clock synchronization interface on ATCA-C110/1G is compliant to the in-house JETIS
Telecom Clock Specification.
■ Update Ports
The Update Ports are defined by the ATCA Specification as the interface between adjacent
boards. The XAUI channel from the FIM onboard the ATCA-C110/1G is routed to the
Update Channel.
■ Front Panel LEDs
The front panels LEDs of the ATCA-C110/1G are controlled by the IPMI Master Controller
and are placed as per the mechanical recommendations of the AMC.0 Specification. Refer
to Face plate and LEDs on page 51 for more details.
■ E-Keying Support
The E-Keying feature for base and fabric channel is under the control of the IPMI firmware.
The IPMC and the MPC8540 communicate with each other through the Payload interface.
Refer to System Management on page 41 for more details.
