Abstract

The invention provides a system and a method for collaborative power management of an FPGA (field programmable gata array) chip and a BMC (baseboard management controller) chip used on an ATCA (advanced telecom computing architecture) blade. The system comprises the FPGA chip, the BMC chip, N power modules and a cabinet manager. Enable pins and Power Good pins of the N power modules are respectively connected with IO (in-out)pins of the FPGA chip, output ends of the N power modules are all connected on an AD (analog-digital) sampling interface of the BMC chip, and the FPGA chip and the BMC chip are communicated through a I2C (inter-integrated circuit) bus. The cabinet manager and the BMC chip are connected bidirectionally. By the aid of the system and the method, whether or not power-on of the FPGA chip is normal is indicated according to state of an LED (light-emitting diode) indicator light, searching power failure by using hardware tools can be further avoided as far as possible, so that troubleshooting becomes simple and high-efficient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computers, and in particular relates to a cooperative power management system and method for an FPGA chip and a BMC chip on an ATCA blade. Background technique [0002] On a relatively complex ATCA blade, each power supply between each core chip and each chip itself requires a certain power-on sequence to work normally. Usually, we use a programmable device to control the output enable terminal of the power module, and achieve the power-on sequence requirements between various power supplies through different delays. [0003] Using a programmable device to control the power-on output is mainly to control the output enable terminal of the power module, and turn on the output of each power module at different times. In some chips, the power-on sequence requirements between the various power supplies are relatively strict, and the two power supplies with power-on sequence cannot be inverted. Otherwise, the...
