The Nuvoton SM WPCM450 is a combined Baseboard Management Controller and
2D/VGA-compatible Graphics Core with PCI interface, Virtual Media and Keyboard,
and a Keyboard/Video/Mouse Redirection (KVMR) module.
The WPCM450 interfaces with the host system via a PCI interface to communicate
with the Graphics core. It supports USB 2.0 and 1.1 for remote keyboard/mouse/
virtual media emulation. It also provides an LPC interface to control Super I/O func-
tions and connects to the network via an external Ethernet PHY module or shared
NCSI connections.
The Nuvoton BMC communicates with onboard components via six SMBus in-
terfaces, fan control, Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) buses, and
General Purpose I/O .
It also includes the following features:
One X-Bus parallel interface for expansion I/O connections
•
Three ADC inputs, Analog and Digital Video outputs
•
Two serial for boundary scan and debug
