11. OS Support / Tools
11.1 Linux Tools
11.1.1 OpenIPMI - KCS driver
Normally all drivers and kernel modules needed for communication between the payload sided
software and the Management Controller firmware via the KCS interface come with the distri-
bution. Newest sources can be downloaded from: ‘http://openipmi.sourceforge.net’. There may
be downloaded the OpenIPMI project as well. The OpenIPMI library package includes some
applications and the needed libraries.
11.1.2 IPMI Tool
Another very useful all-in-one tool is “ipmitool” (http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net). It provides a
user friendly interface to many IPMI features and extensions, for example, to get sensor read-
ings, change sensor thresholds or to access other Management Controllers via IPMB. Before
“ipmitool” can be used the OpenIPMI driver, mentioned above, must be loaded too.
11.2 OS Support - Board Support Packages
To see which Operating Systems are supported refer to the board's data sheet, please visit
‘http://www.kontron.com’ to download the AM5030 data sheet. Also have a look in the down-
load section for latest versions of Board Support Packages or Firmware Updates.
For further information concerning IPMI, refer to the BSP documentation for the respective OS.
