PLDM Telemetry¶
Alveo™ supports PLDM Over MCTP Over SMBus at slave address 0x30 (8-bit). The latest sensor information is stored locally in SC FW and is reported to server BMC via PLDM Type-2 commands. Sensor information is reported to the BMC via the platform descriptor record (PDR).
PLDM Over MCTP Over SMBus Protocol
Alveo™ PLDM implementation adheres to the following DMTF specifications:
PLDM Base Specification ([DSP0240])
PLDM for Platform Monitoring and Control Specification ([DSP0248])

Effecters - Resets and SPI flash WP config |
||
1 (0x01) |
ASIC1 reset |
Effector to reset ASIC1; SC resets ASIC1 via GPIO signal |
2 (0x02) |
ASIC2 reset |
Effector to reset ASIC2; SC resets ASIC1 via GPIO signal |
3 (0x03) |
SC reset |
Effector to soft reset MSP432 MCU |
4 (0x04) |
ASIC1 SPI flash WP set |
Effector to enable/disable ASIC1 flash Write Protect; Default: WP enable |
5 (0x05) |
ASIC2 SPI flash WP set |
Effector to enable/disable ASIC2 flash Write Protect; Default: WP enable |
Note
Effecter values range between 0x00 and 0x01. For ASIC/SC resets, sending 0x01 results in reset. For flash Write Protects, sending 0x00 disables WP and 0x01 enables it back.
