The AMD Alveo™ Card Management Solution Subsystem (CMS Subsystem) is a MicroBlaze™ based design compatible with U200, U250, U280, U50, U55, U45N, X3522, and UL3524 Alveo acceleration cards.
CMS firmware autonomously reads sensor information from the satellite controller device over UART and writes instantaneous, maximum, and average values to a shared memory for collection by the host software. Sensor information is monitored and gathered for:
- Voltages
- Currents
- Temperatures
- Fan speed
- Power
The CMS solution also provides a message based mailbox interface to enable other card management functions including:
- Satellite controller firmware updates
- Card information reporting
- Network plug-in module management
- U45N SoC management
