Card Level Management Solution for the BRAINE edge framework

Balázs Scherer
Abstract:
The objective of the BRAINE (Big data pRocessing and Artificial Intelligence at the Network Edge) project is to boost the development of an Edge framework focusing on energy efficient hardware and AI empowered software, capable of processing Big Data at the Edge, supporting security, data privacy, and sovereignty. The BRAINE’s Edge framework is designed to be flexible and support many types of data processing and storage cards. Because of this flexibility and the wide range of heterogeneous cards a sophisticated low-level board/card management functionality is needed. The board management architecture of BRAINE is a hierarchical design, which consists of a central board management node (BMC: Board Management Controller) and a distributed low- level board management hardware present on all the nodes (BMMC: Board Management MicroController). This paper describes the functionalities and presents implementation details of the low-level board management controller the BMMC.
