aBMC Release Notes

Records the main changes in each aBMC release, newest first.

Version Overview

v3.2.3

Web session auto-renewal; switch serial terminal tolerance

Added

• Web session auto-renewal: the Access Token is valid for 2 hours and the Refresh Token for 12 hours. When less than 10 minutes remain, a new token is issued with a business response, so users can keep working without logging in again.

Fixed

• The L3 switch serial terminal now fails only when the serial port is inaccessible; other abnormal states still allow entering the terminal for troubleshooting.

API

• Added the token refresh endpoint POST /redfish/v1/token/refresh; the login response now includes accessToken and refreshToken.

v3.2.2

Sub-board chip platform detection; mount point remount; port speed auto-negotiation

Added

• Automatic detection and manual specification of the sub-board chip platform (the sub-board may reboot briefly during detection).
• File share mount points can be remounted without deleting and recreating them.
• Switch ports and trunks support auto speed negotiation.

Fixed

• The first UID button press after BMC startup had no effect; the BM1684X switch serial terminal could not be opened.
• NVIDIA sub-board firmware upgrade failed on GS1-N2 (RK3576); the BM1684X NIC naming rule contained an error.

API

• Added endpoints for chip type query, probe, and manual specification, plus mount point remount.

v3.2.1

Upgrade required · Standalone SSH user management removed; ShareDisk default mount removed

Incompatible

• Removed the standalone SSH user management system. SSH credentials are now provided by the core board communication configuration; all previous SSH user APIs have been removed.
• ShareDisk is no longer mounted to the sub-board /media/NFS by default and is no longer exported through NFS by default. Existing mount records fail once on the first restore after the upgrade and can be deleted manually.

Improved

• Unified Web terminal entry: ADB, SSH, and Shell terminal credentials are taken from the current communication configuration, and terminal types are calculated from the actual state.

Fixed

• Sub-board status was not refreshed after a forced power-off; the CSC2 switch port topology mapping was incorrect.

v3.2.0

Major release · Core board communication management; ADB stability; QCOM8550 support

Added

• Core board communication management: custom SSH, connectivity testing, switching back to the default method at any time, and automatic SSH reconnection.
• Improved Android sub-board ADB stability (adbd watchdog); added temperature collection for the Qualcomm QCOM8550 platform.

Fixed

• Sub-board offline status was not refreshed; SoC model misidentification; Bx sub-board default gateway error.
• 5G NIC MAC addresses were unstable after reboot; the time management NTP default value was not retained.

API

• Added query, create, test, enable, and delete endpoints for core board communication configurations.

v3.1.4

Major release · New L3 switch management; microservice self-healing

Added

• New L3 switch management: topology, ports, VLAN/SVI, trunk (link aggregation), and a Web console.
• Microservice self-healing: core board microservices can recover automatically after an abnormal exit.

Fixed

• 4Kn drive partition errors, occasional crashes during storage information refresh, and persistent mount recovery failures.
• Sophgo memory information collection and CS_B1 serial expansion chip binding.

API

• Added switch topology, port, VLAN, trunk, and Web terminal endpoints.

v3.1.3

Fixes for C2, CSA1, and NVIDIA Orin

Fixed

• The C2 power LED incorrectly turned red at boot.
• The C2 front panel sub-board status mapping (online, offline, upgrading).
• SATA drive LED compatibility for CSA1 v1.1 hardware.
• NVIDIA Orin series storage capacity is now read from the actual NVMe device.

v3.1.2

IPv6 support; root account removed; time management fixes

Added

• Full IPv6 support for the BMC network: physical interfaces, VLANs, and bonds; dual-stack or IPv6-only; DHCPv6 or static addresses, gateways, routes, and DNS.

Changed

• Removed the default root account; only the admin account remains. The admin account is no longer a protected reserved account.

Fixed

• The default time zone was incorrect; time zone save/restore failed; time service configuration was not reapplied after a restart.
• The C2 front panel screen refresh interval was incorrect.

API

• Added IPv6 fields to network configuration and query responses; generic responses no longer include Id or Name.

v1.0

First release · aBMC first release with a Web UI and basic out-of-band management

Added

• aBMC first release, providing a Web management interface and basic out-of-band management capabilities.
