Description
The FMC FRU EEPROM Programmer and the related toolchain is a powerful programming tool for FMC FRU (Field Replacable Unit) records.
The programming adapter is designed for in-circuit configuration of ANSI/VITA 57.1 FPGA Mezzanine Cards (FMC) according to the IPMI Platform Management FRU Information Storage Definition. The board runs with open-source firmware and software for user-friendly configuration of I2C-compatible serial EEPROMs. Its microcontroller (Microchip ATmega32U4) translates a user command protocol from the serial interface into corresponding I2C read/write accesses to any compatible EEPROM devices. A user application on the PC host simplifies file transfers to the EEPROM via a USB cable. By eliminating the need for customer-specific FPGA firmware to program an FMC module, the standalone programming adapter is suitable for reliable small-batch production and prototyping.
