SEMA (Smart Embedded Management Agent)

SEMA : Smart Embedded Management Agent

SEMA consists of : •

Embedded Board Controller

•

Application Software–

Command Line Interface–

Management GUI –

Web Server backend•

API Libraries–

SEMA library–

EAPI (the PICMG Standard)•

Embedded BIOS Extensions

it is also an engineering tool. It offers support during initial system integration and customer

carrier bring up.

is a set of deeply embedded functions

build into all ADLINK

modules to enhance end user embedded systems reliability.

SEMA is cross platform !!!!!!

•

An identical controller is used on all our embedded products, offering embedded features and providing a

solid hardware abstraction layer•

Because of hardware abstraction, uniform software

support is possible over all our product range and all generations

•

Independent of Form factor–

COM Express

–

SMARC–

PC/104

•

And independent of processor type (RISC or x86)

Power Control• The BMC controls the power sequence on the

COM module. In cases where the carrier does not comply with the specifications and there are power up problems we can tune the BMC to match the carrier board

• AT Power Mode detection by monitoring 12V and 5Vsb inputs

ECO mode in S5• When powered in ATX mode, standby voltage

is consumed during the S5 state. In ECO mode the SEMA BMC can disconnect 5Vsb from the rest of the module to save maximum power

Monitor System Voltages• All voltages used on the module are measured

and stored in up to 8 separate registers that can be read out by the end user

Power Consumption Measurement• The supply current on the 12V power input to

the module and thereby the module’s power consumption can be measured

Status Indicator LED• The blue BMC status LED on the module can

signal the following : • Power-up failures : the LED flashing code can

signal a corrupted BIOS, failures at the onboard power supply or the module hanging while waiting for a Power OK due to problem with supply power or power sequence.

• Normal System state changes : HW-Reset, SW-Reset, Power-Up, Power-Down, Reset-Button and Power Button activity.

Forensics• In case of module damage or failure the following

items are stored and can be read out through the BMC system bus .

• Min-/Max-temperature of CPU and system during lifetime

• Last temperature before shutdown• Last system restart reason : HW/SW-Reset, etc• Last measured voltages levels

WatchdogWatchdog

Watchdog Function• A watchdog timer (WDT) is a hardware timer

that automatically generates a system reset if a software application program neglects to periodically reset it. It is often used to automatically reset an embedded device that hangs because of a software or hardware fault.

Operation• A timeout value between 1 and 65535 seconds

can be set.• Standard action is System RESET • Alternatively an ACPI event can be triggered

do an orderly OS shutdown or orderly OS Restart

• There is one more Watchdog Timer in the BMC and that is the BIOS POST Watchdog monitoring BIOS execution time.

Dual SPI BIOS• Two identical BIOS chips with identical firmware

are located on module. One is active an one standing by.

• The BMC has a so called POST Watchdog that is checking the time it takes to finalize the BIOS POST sequence

• If for what ever reason the BIOS becomes corrupted the system will fail too boot and the POST time will exceed the watchdog time out.

• The BMC notes the problem, RESETS the system and permanently switches over to the secondary backup BIOS

Fully compatibility with PICMG • The failsafe BIOS implementation is fully

compatible with the PICMG COM.0 specification that allows an SPI BIOS to be located on the carrier or on a module.

High Speed I2C • In addition to the SMbus supplied by the main

chipset of the module a free for use high speed I2C is supported on the SEMA BMC.

• The I2C supports multi master mode and 100/200 or 400 kHz operation.

Always Active • The SEMA BMC and I2C bus are both powered

by the 5Vsb allowing I2C operation during power down (S5) and suspend states (S1, S3)

StorageStorage

User Data• The BMC provides 512 bytes rewritable storage• Suitable to store configuration data, logistical

data and other board specific information.• Because this flash area is independent from the

BIOS it will not be cleared by BIOS updates such as the DMI area in the BIOS. Nor are there any tools in the public domain that can read or write to it.

• Secure Area• can be protected through a one-time

programmable hardware fuse to provide a maximum of security.

• Secure flash area is 128 bytes in size• Excellent for secure key codes,

copy protection codes etc

Backlight Control• To suppress the BIOS screen appearing on the

screen during boot the BMC can inhibit the BKL_ENABL signal. It can either release it after POST or inhibit indefinitely after which on OS level an API command can release the signal

Brightness Control• Settings the PWM source for brightness control

can be done in the BIOS. Sources are the - the integrated Graphics Core - the Board Controller’s own PWM output - a discrete PWM controller on the carrier .

• Startup brightness intensity can be selected in the BIOS

• Brightness level can on OS level be controlled through the SEMA library

CPU / System Temperatures• Monitors temperature sensor readings of CPU

Smart FAN Control• The BMC has its own PWM fan out output can

automatically relate measured CPU temperature to the PRM of the Fan just like a normal smart fan controller

• Fan control mode can be configured in the BMC

SEMA Software Support

SEMA Command and LibraryCOMMAND Line for Linux and Windows • The full set of SEMA

commands• The command line tool

can also be used as a backend by software written by end users to extract info for usage in the customer application

SEMA Library Library that covers all SEMA functions

PICMG EAPI Library• PICMG standardized set

of API’s (partial set of SEMA Library commands)

SEMA Graphical User InterfaceGUI for Linux and Windows • The SEMA GUI program is the same for

Windows and Linux and is based on the QT Library version 4.8

• For Windows QTCore4.dll and QTGui4.dll are needed

• For Linux libQtCore.so.4 and libQtGui.so.4 are needed

SEMA Web Interface or SSH shellWeb Brower • SEMA information can also be remotely viewed

using a web browser.• To achieve this, a small embedded web server

must be installed on the embedded System. A CGI script uses the command line tool as backend for queries and builds a corresponding web page.

• The web browser access offers both monitoring and control

SSH Shell Access • If security does not allow a web interface than

the SEMA command line tool is directly accessible via an SSH connection.

• An SSH server additionally provides secure shell access for maintenance and makes updating your application possible via SCP for example.
