Thanks for the heads up - but, which board is it? ;-) Do you have a
model/reference number so I can check if the ones I am offered are the same
as the one you have? I have found a few different ones via google. I would
suspect you have athe 3A-RS780 board:

rather than the dual-SoC LS3-CCNUMA-DEV board
http://www.loongson.cn/product_info.php?id=36

but maybe you have something completely different ?

If  IPMI is available, it will be much better.

IPMI would be lovely, but I'm not sure we can locate a board right now with
that - so, we may have to fix remote management with a remotely controlled
power/reset box - I believe they exist (something else I've been looking
into). If the DSA already use some then I'd be interested to hear which :-)

Hey, agreement! :-)
