Dear IPMC community,
on our fFEX module we are playing around with the SOL feature of the IPMC. For this we connected the port 0 of our IPMCv3 via a CPLD to a USB-UART.
Using the configuration <Connect port="0" name="SDI" baudrate="115200"/> from the USB-UART we can echo characters, so we think that the hardware connection is working.
Now in attempting <Connect port="0" name="SOL" baudrate="115200"/> and using the command
ipmitool -v -C 3 -I lanplus -U "" -P "" -H 192.168.0.2 -t 0x8a sol activate
the connections fails with the output:
Loading IANA PEN Registry...
Discovered IPMB address 0x10
Discovered Target IPMB-0 address 0x8a
Error activating SOL payload: Unspecified error
Is our approach of sending SOL commands via the shelf manager possible or do we need a direct network connection? Alternatively we can tried the following command:
ipmitool -v -C 3 -I lanplus -U "" -P "" -H 192.168.0.2 -t 0x8a -b 2 sol activate
Which after a timeout resulted in:
Loading IANA PEN Registry…
Discovered IPMB address 0x10
Error: No response activating SOL payload
Does anybody have any tips or tricks for us to achieve the SOL connection, which after testing with our USB-UART, we would like to route to our Zynq?
Thank you very much and cheers,
Emanuel
