The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a critical component for high-availability systems like Advanced-TCA (ATCA). Pigeon Point makes the creation of an IPMI module easier with its 16-bit Renesas H8S/2168-based board management reference design. The starter kit lets developers test a system prior to placing it on an ATCA board. The 33-MHz MCU has 256 kbytes of flash, 40 kbytes of SRAM, six I2C ports, and an eight-channel analog-to-digital converter. The IPM Sentry Board Management Starter Kit is priced at $15,000.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.  

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
