Firmware Flashes

The Blade has two physically separate 1 MB flash devices hosting the BIOS firmware:

Primary (or Default BIOS) Flash (SPI 0)

Recovery BIOS Flash (SPI 1)

The flash is allocated for storing the binary code of the BIOS. The ATCA-7365-CE boots from the
primary flash SPI 0 under normal circumstances. If booting BIOS from primary flash SPI 0 fails,
a hardware mechanism automatically changes the flash device select logic to boot from the
recovery flashSPI 1. The image that the processor will boot from after next reset is determined
by the IPMC. It can be selected via dedicated IPMI OEM command.

Ethernet Ports

The Blade utilizes various Ethernet controllers that serve the ATCA Base I/F, Fabric I/F, Update
Channel and Ethernet console. All Ethernet interfaces have 1GbE capability except for the
Fabric I/F controller which can operate at 10GbE or 1GbE (PICMG 3.1 Option 9 and 1). The fabric
I/F is fully operable in both 10G and 1G mode without the presence of an RTM.

ATCA-7365-CE does not provide a legacy Super-I/O device and no legacy Keyboard/Mouse
interface. Keyboard and Mouse are supported through USB. Serial COM Interfaces are
provided from FPGA.
