4.1.7 I/O Redirection
4.1.8 Console Redirection
Console redirecton or I/O redirection to a COM port allows to configure BIOS through the
setup menu even in the absence of a VGA adapter. The following option is configurable
through the BIOS setup:
Serial port 1 is fully compliant to industry standard 16550 asynchronous communication
controllers and is integrated in the Glue Logic FPGA.
4.1.9 Serial Over LAN (SOL)
The BIOS writes to an FPGA register in the COM port number where the console redirection is
done.
The BIOS sets FPGA register 0x603 bit 0 to high (Serial reduction control register) to indicate
the BIOS uses serial port 1 for SOL function. The further steps to initialize SOL is done by IPMC.
4.1.10 IPMI Support
The ATCA-7370 BIOS provides the following IPMI support.

Checks if the IPMI controller is active. If not, it will display an appropriate error message.

Reads self-test result from the IPMI controller display. It will display an error message if the
self-test fails.

Sets initial timestamp.

Sends system firmware progress to the IPMI.

Logs boot errors to the IPMI event log.
Option Description
Baudrate 9600 baud, 19200 baud, 38400 baud, and 115200 baud are supported. The
default value is 9600.
