The POST results are displayed on the console and saved in the System Events Log
(SEL). After the boot process is finished, the results can be retrieved and used by an
operating system.
Every POST error is reported to the ShMC via an IPMI event message sent to BMC as
described in
See
Boot Manager
The Boot Manager is the main part of Boot Monitor. It is responsible for loading and
executing the run-time image for the NPU. The Boot Manager attempts to load and
execute run-time image code according to the Boot Configuration parameter – run-time
image loading. If this parameter is set to the command prompt value, the Boot
Manager displays a command prompt only and waits for operator action. Otherwise,
the Boot Manager reads the run-time image searching sequence script, a pointer to
which is stored as one of the Boot Configuration parameters on flash memory and the
operations in this script are performed. If Boot Manager is unable to load the run-time
image from one of the sources, then it tries to use the next one. If all run-time image
code loading attempts failed, the Boot Monitor displays an error message on the
console, stores an appropriate event in the System Log and sends the event to the
ShMC.
The run-time image can be loaded from the following sources:
• XScale core
• MSF
• GPIO
• I
• LEDs
• Mezzanine with Gigabit Ethernet
• FIC (IXB28504XGBEFSx boards only)
• Telecom clock test
• flash memory – The run-time image can be loaded from local flash memory using
• UART – The run-time image can be loaded over serial interface using Xmodem
• debug Ethernet – The run-time image can be loaded from an external server over
the Flash Memory tool.
utility
the debug Ethernet interface using the TFTP protocol. The interface IP configuration
necessary for the TFTP protocol can be obtained from two sources:
The selection of the appropriate configuration is determined by the Boot
Configuration parameter - debug Ethernet IP Configuration type. If an automatic
configuration is selected, then the Boot Manager attempts to obtain the IP
configuration for the debug Ethernet interface via the BOOTP protocol. The
maximum number of BOOTP requests sent by the Boot Manager is determined by
another Boot Configuration parameter - debug Ethernet BOOTP request number. If
it is not possible to obtain the IP configuration, then the loading of the run-time
image over the debug Ethernet interface fails and the Boot Manager attempts to
use another source.
