ROACH has an onboard, fully independent management subsystem that can be accessed through the Xport.

This system monitors voltages and temperatures and will shut down the board if these are out of specification. A log is kept of the shutdown cause, its value and time.

Clients

There is a simple Python-based script available here for querying the Actel Fusion over the Xport.

Default values

When an automated shutdown occurs, the index of the faulty channel as well as it's value can be read out over the X-port. The X-port's default IP address is 192.168.4.20 when shipped from Digicom.
