Aspeed Ast2500 Datasheet — New

High-quality video compression (YUV444/YUV420) at 24 bits for remote monitoring.

Equips hardware designers with up to 14 independent I2C/SMBus controllers. These are used to query smart power supplies (PSUs), NVMe drive thermals, memory buffers, and external temperature sensors. 5. Security Architecture aspeed ast2500 datasheet new

: Allowing administrators to mount ISO images and other media remotely for OS installation or troubleshooting. Power Control The newer datasheets reclassify the following pins: :

Compatible with DDR3 and DDR4 SDRAM (16-bit interface). NVMe drive thermals

The newer datasheets reclassify the following pins:

: Enabling full control over the server's graphical console from a remote location. Virtual Media Support

The datasheet mentions "I2C bus master with multi-byte transfer." What’s interesting: It includes for SMBus block reads. On a typical Linux BMC, a software bit-bang I2C read takes ~1ms. The AST2500’s hardware accelerator does it in ~10µs. This is why ipmitool sdr list runs instantly even with 20+ sensors.
