The platform management controller (PMC) subsystem is a triple-redundant, embedded MicroBlaze processor cluster complete with its own local memory, I/O, and specialized communications interfaces with the whole system. The PMC block executes the BootROM and platform loader and manager (PLM) to handle the boot and configuration for the processing system, security, CPM, PL, NoC register initialization and settings, and I/O and interrupt configuration settings. In addition to boot and configuration, the PLM provides life-cycle management services.
