27/09/20114ATCA IPMI Controller Mezzanine Board - TWEPP 2011 We need : - High input and output bandwidth - High speed communications between boards - Powerful signal processing This is why ATCA platform was chosen: - High speed and high density communications between boards over backplane - Large boards (32x28 cm) - Possibility of rear transition modules (RTM), and mezzanines card (AMC) - Reliability (hot swap, real time diagnostic) We want to build an ATCA board to evaluate: - ATCA specifications (Intelligent Platform Management Interface ‘IPMI’ facilities) - Management trough Ethernet (Firmware upgrade, DSP configuration, monitoring…) - Many 12x10Gbps incoming optic fibers - High speed and high density board. - High power DSP cells from FPGA For that we have designed a board called “ROD evaluator” and an IPM Controller Mezzanine board Motivations
