1# BMC Debug Trigger # 2 3`debug-trigger` listens for an external signal that the BMC is in some way 4unresponsive. When the signal is received it triggers a crash to collect debug 5data and reboots the system in the hope that it will recover. 6 7## Trigger sources ## 8 9`debug-trigger` implements a simple protocol over an LPC KCS device as its 10trigger source. 11 12## Debug actions ## 13 14`debug-trigger` implements a single action once the trigger event is received, 15which is to crash the kernel via `/proc/sysrq-trigger`. For systems with kdump 16configured this results in collection of system state as context for why the 17system was externally unresponsive. 18
