Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) is a communication
|
|
interface between Intel processor and management controllers
|
|
(e.g. Baseboard Management Controller, BMC).
|
|
PECI provides services that allow the management controller to
|
|
configure, monitor and debug platform by accessing various registers.
|
|
It defines a dedicated command protocol, where the management
|
|
controller is acting as a PECI originator and the processor - as
|
|
a PECI responder.
|
|
PECI can be used in both single processor and multiple-processor based
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
Intel PECI specification is not released as a dedicated document,
|
|
instead it is a part of External Design Specification (EDS) for given
|
|
Intel CPU. External Design Specifications are usually not publicly
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
PECI Wire
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
PECI Wire interface uses a single wire for self-clocking and data
|
|
transfer. It does not require any additional control lines - the
|
|
physical layer is a self-clocked one-wire bus signal that begins each
|
|
bit with a driven, rising edge from an idle near zero volts. The
|
|
duration of the signal driven high allows to determine whether the bit
|
|
value is logic '0' or logic '1'. PECI Wire also includes variable data
|
|
rate established with every message.
|
|
|
|
For PECI Wire, each processor package will utilize unique, fixed
|
|
addresses within a defined range and that address should
|
|
have a fixed relationship with the processor socket ID - if one of the
|
|
processors is removed, it does not affect addresses of remaining
|
|
processors.
