Purpose:
ICVG(CIoT) products started to support non-volatile (FRU) years ago. This article will introduce how to check this info through Advantech FRU utility.
Prerequisites
1- Please download Advantech FRU utility from Advantech website
2-Make sure all required drivers (i2c_i801 , i2c_dev)were installed on your OS
Target Audience:
All users who are using Advantech products and need to check FRU info from our platforms.
Procedures/Steps:
1.Install Required Compiler Collection & Tools
# apt-get install i2c-tools
2.Load / Check i2c drivers & devices
# modprobe i2c_dev
# modprobe i2c_i801
# lsmod |grep i2c
i2c_i801 28672 0
i2c_algo_bit 16384 1 igb
# i2cdetect -l
i2c-0 i2c igb BB I2C adapter
i2c-1 i2c igb BB I2C adapter
i2c-2 smbus SMBus I801 adapter at e000 SMBus adapter
3.Check SPI device was there or user can retrieve Nothing after issuing commands , according to block diagram MB FRU device was located at address 0xAC.0xAD
4.We can check the device through command i2cdetect -f -y <device ID>
root@ubuntu:~# i2cdetect -l
i2c-1 i2c AST i2c bit bus I2C adapter
i2c-2 smbus SMBus I801 adapter at e000 SMBus adapter
i2c-0 smbus SMBus iSMT adapter at df57c000 SMBus adapter
root@ubuntu:~# i2cdetect -y 2

5.Run afru to retrieve FRU content , following contents are from template, for m/p delivery, it should include all necessary product info
root@N-Check:~/afru_02_36# ./afru -R
Found device on bus 2
