Problems solved by technology

[0006] 1. Since the manufacturer's feedback speed is not too fast, time-consuming is inevitable
Therefore, the development time of the test program will be increased
[0007] 2. The models of calculators are constantly being introduced, and the models produced in the past will not be discarded immediately. Therefore, the test program must take into account the models of the past and apply to the models that have just been produced. Causes the length of the program code, which is not conducive to the maintenance of the program
[0008] 3. The temperature extraction method is not universal, the program is always being updated, and the input of manpower and material resources will continue to increase the cost, resulting in a waste of capital

Embodiment Construction

[0054] The detailed content and technology of the present invention are described as follows in conjunction with the drawings:

[0055]At present, most computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface (ACPI). The so-called advanced power management protocol is some table-like structures and some binary numbers. These table-like structures and binary numbers have been solidified into the BIOS of the calculator. In addition, the memory has been loaded before the operating system is activated, part of which cannot be changed by the operating system. Just in this part of the fixed content, contains hardware information, including hardware port address, operation offset, and hardware operands. In these hardware information, that includes the relevant content of the CPU temperature. These contents are recorded in the form of binary code. According to the specifications of the advanced power management protocol, it can be translated into a sentence, but this ki...

Abstract

The invention relates to a general method for reading the temperature of CPU, which first reads AML code form BIOS according to advanced power managing agreement; and then it ascertains the hardware path for reading CPU temperature in the AML code; then ascertains the hardware port and operating code of executing temperature according to the hardware path, then analyzes the AML code to ascertain hardware port operating order, at last reads CPU temperature by the operating order and operating hardware port.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for reading the temperature of a central processing unit, in particular to a general method for reading the temperature of a central processing unit. Background technique [0002] With the development of the computer industry, the update speed of calculators is getting faster and faster. Therefore, the current output of computers has gradually increased. Before leaving the factory, each new computer must undergo an overall test to verify whether its performance meets the standard. Among them, the central processing unit (CPU) is the main detection item. The current CPU speed is relatively satisfactory, but the heat generation of the CPU has become a common concern for users. The CPU temperature is more important for the calculator. Excessive temperature will cause damage to the components. Therefore, when testing the performance of the calculator, the CPU temperature is an important parameter index. [0003] The CPU tempera...
