Opening an SOL session requires special parameters as shown below:
The serial interface can be used as a connection, for example:
• To a user program on the AM4022 payload
• To the uEFI BIOS. Refer to the Main Setup menu, Serial Port Console Redirection
function in the AM4022 uEFI BIOS User Guide. The serial parameters can be set via this
function.
• To a Linux login console. This can be activated after payload start, for example, by the
command:
SOL supports and requires serial hardware handshake. This should be activated for the serial
port. Otherwise transmitted data might get lost. In any case the same serial parameters for the
used payload side serial interface and the MMC's serial interface must be used.
The parameters for the MMC's serial interface can be set by using the following command:
This command shows all options that can be set.
Further options are listed after issuing the following command:

OpenIPMI - KCS driver
Normally all drivers and kernel modules needed for communication between the payload-sided
software and the MMC firmware via the KCS interface come with the distribution. Latest sourc-
es can be downloaded from: http://openipmi.sourceforge.net. The OpenIPMI project may be
downloaded from this source as well. The OpenIPMI library package includes some applica-
tions and the needed libraries.
“ipmitool”
Another very useful all-in-one tool is the “ipmitool” (http://ipmitool.sourceforge.net). It provides
a user-friendly interface to many IPMI features and extensions, for example, to get sensor
readings, change sensor thresholds or access other Management Controllers via IPMB. Before
“ipmitool” can be used, the OpenIPMI driver mentioned above must be loaded too.
