I hope this message finds you well. We are researching the NVIDIA IGX Orin Developer Kit for potential use and are considering a purchase. To make an informed decision, we would like to understand a few technical aspects of the platform.
The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in the IGX Orin board looks particularly interesting, and we would like to know more about its in-depth architecture and the approach followed in its design. If possible could you share details on the specific OpenBMC version used, supported protocols (e.g., Redfish, IPMI), integration with the Safety MCU, telemetry capabilities (e.g., temperature, voltage, fan speeds), and, if possible, an architecture diagram or reference to relevant documentation?
Additionally, we have a few other questions:
How does the power efficiency compare between the IGX Orin 700 and IGX Orin 500 models?
What are the thermal management requirements for the MicroATX board under high-performance edge AI workloads?
Is the IGX Orin Developer Kit compatible with NVIDIA Metropolis SDK out of the box?
Your insights would greatly support our evaluation. Thank you for your time and assistance!
Thank you for the prompt response, @sgursal . The links you shared are indeed very helpful in understanding the product, and the user guide provides valuable information regarding BMC usage.
However, I am specifically looking for details about the BMC architecture in the IGX Orin platform. It would be a great help if you could share any available references that provide insights into the BMC architecture and design approach.
