2.2.4 Freescale PowerQUICC II MPC8247
Communications Processor
The Freescale MPC8247 is a microprocessor designed for maximum flexibility. It
features a dual core architecture with a PPC G2 LE core and a RISC core controlling
the peripherals. Running at 400MHz with only 1 watt of power, the MPC8247
provides high performance with incredibly low power consumption. Paired with the
256MB PC100 SDRAM and 64MB flash, the CPU subsystem of the Sun Netra CP3240
switch is more than enough to handle the switching application and future
upgrades.
2.2.5 Pigeon Point BMR-H8S-AMCc AdvancedTCA
IPMI Subsystem
The Sun Netra CP3240 switch uses the near-industry standard Pigeon Point Systems
BMR-H8S-AMCc for dedicated IPMI management. It controls all interaction between
the Sun Netra CP3240 switch and the shelf management controller. It fully supports
the PICMG 3.0 R2.0 ECN002 and the AMC.0 R2.0 specifications. The
BMC-H8S-AMCc provides all required management for the AMC modules, in
addition to the voltage monitoring, temperature monitoring, e-Keying, and other
services it provides for the Sun Netra CP3240 switch. Pigeon Point Systems is the
leading provider of IPMI firmware for AdvancedTCA, and the firmware has been
thoroughly tested to be fully compliant with the specification.
