System Implementation Diagram
The BCM5758 is an application processor, which, when combined with
the BCM5757 integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, provides a
complete DASH-based management solution for the enterprise desktop
PC market. The scalable architecture combined with a highly optimized
firmware and software enable low-power and cost effective management
functionality for in-band, out-of-band, and out-of-service environments.
The on-chip processor and memory (used for both code and data) allow
the BCM5758-based implementation to be highly secure and less
vulnerable to system component failure.
The powerful on-chip processor runs a real-time operating system
(RTOS) with full network and WS-Man stack. Included HTTP and
HTTPS protocol stacks provide support for secure (authenticated and
encrypted) communication with the remote console. As a result, power
control, boot control, assets inventory, and many other management
functions can be performed remotely and over authenticated and
encrypted secure connections, while the managed system is in out-ofservice or OS-absent state.
Target applications of the BCM5758:
• Fully managed desktop and mobile PC LOM.
Software applications:
• Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) for Windows NT, 2000,
XP and Vista.
• DOS-based user and manufacturing diagnostics.
