Below are the formats for a few useful IPMI commands for the AMC13 as provided by Jes Tikalsky (jtikalsky@hep.wisc.edu) with the University of Wisconsin group.

How to issue these commands with ipmitool

SPI Read

Below are the relevant bytes for a raw IPMI SPI "read data" command

NetFN   0x32
CMD     0x34
Params  PortID (0-3)
        Address LS Byte
        Address MS byte
        Count (I recommend <20)

SPI Write

Below are the relevant bytes for a raw IPMI SPI "write data" command

NetFN   0x32
CMD     0x33
Params  PortID (0-3)
        Address LS Byte
        Address MS byte
        Count (I recommend <20)
        Byte 1
        ...
        Byte n

Read SPI Status

Below are the relevant bytes for raw IPMI SPI "read status register" command

NetFN   0x32
CMD     0x31
Params  1: Port ID (0-3)
Return  1: bit 7: HF1
           bit 6: HF2
           bit 5: CFGRDY
           bit 4: REQCFG
           bit 3-0: reserved

Write SPI Control

Below are the relevant bytes for a raw IPMI SPI "write control register" command. For the purposes of the AMC13, we really only care about the CFGRDY bit

NetFN   0x32
CMD     0x32
Params  1: Port ID (0-3)
        2: bit 7: select UHF for update
           bit 6: select LHF for update
           bit 5: select CFGRDY for update
           bit 4-2: 0
           bit 1: SET selected flags
           bit 0: CLEAR selected flags

Get Non-Volatile Area Info

Below are the relevant bytes for a raw IPMI SPI "read NV area info" command

Get Nonvolatile Area Info (Partial):
NetFN    0x32
CMD      0x40
Params   1: 0
Return   1: 0
         ...
         15: FPGA Config Area LS Byte
         16: FPGA Config Area MS Byte
         17: FPGA Config Area Size (32 byte units)

Read Non-Volatile Memory

Below are the relevant bytes for a raw IPMI SPI "read NV memory" command

Raw Nonvolatile Read:
NetFN    0x32
CMD      0x42
Params   1: Offset LS
         2: Offset MS
         3: Length (<=20)
Return   $Data

Using ipmitool

You can issue these command using the OS supplied ipmitool as follows.

To read:

   $ ipmitool -H 192.168.1.41 -U '' -P '' -T 0x82 -b 7 -t 0x76 raw 0x32 0x34 1 11 0 4

-T 0x82	0x82 is 0x70 + slot*2 or 0xa4 for special case of slot 13
0x32 0x34	0x32 means UWMMC special command 0x34 is configuration read
1 11 0 4	1 is device select (0=T1, 1=T2) 11 0 is address (lsb msb) 4 is byte count

To write:

  $ ipmitool -H 192.168.1.41 -U '' -P '' -T 0x82 -b 7 -t 0x76 raw 0x32 0x33 0 0 0 6 0x03 0xff 0xff 0xff 0x00 0xc0

0x32 x33	0x33 is configuration write
0 0 0 6	device select, address, count (=6 e.g.)
0x03 0xff ...	data to write
