Alveo Card Out-of-Band Management Specification for Server BMC¶

This document describes out-of-band (OoB) support available for the U200, U250, U280, U50x, U30, U55x, VCK5000, V70, Avalon UL3524 and MA35D Alveo™ Data Center Cards. Out-of-band support is implemented in the Satellite Controller (SC) firmware, which supports communication with the server Board Management Controller (BMC) over the SMBus/I2C interface on the PCIe® edge connector. The underlying protocols supported are Alveo I2C and PLDM Over MCTP Over SMBus.
