Deliver AMI’s Megarac development kit for the ast2600 bmc
Deliver quicker. Deliver securely. Deliver Confidence.
The MegaRAC Development Kit for the AST2600 BMC features hardware, tutorials, and access to MegaRAC firmware to help developers and engineers gain experience in sensor porting, management technologies such as Serial Over LAN (SOL) and UART, and virtual media (vMedia). This kit allows customers to begin immediate development and training projects using the MegaRAC OpenEdition BMC Firmware with the AST2600 BMC from ASPEED Technology.
Bundled Hardware
- AST2600 EVB
- Fan
- Sensor board
- Host system
Tutorials
- Firmware & AMI DevNet Installation and environment preparation
- Projects to gain development experience:
- Sensor porting
- Management (SOL, UART…)
- Virtual Media
ODM/OEM Provided
- USB driver (SD, USB flash… for virtual media)
- Ethernet, serial and/or display cable(s)
This kit includes the following bundled hardware.
The series 997 Sensor Board is designed to mimic the sensors that are typically found on data center server platforms. This allows ODM and OEM customers to begin immediate development using the MegaRAC OpenEdition™ BMC firmware with the AST2600 BMC. Firmware engineers gain hands-on experience with sensor porting, management via Serial Over LAN, management via UART and with vMedia.
