I'm currently porting coreboot to a Fujitsu-Siemens TX200S3 server. The mainboard has a BMC on it. This BMC has a additional watchdog besides the well known IPMI watchdog which switches the box off after 240s if it's not disabled by the BIOS. The vendor BIOS reports a 'power off by Watchdog' error in that case. It was probably introduced to switch the system off if BIOS startup fails. In short: Yes, we want to have IPMI code in coreboot. :) Regards Sven -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
