Customized basic input output system updating method

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for updating a customization BIOS. The updating method includes the following steps: customization program writing space is reserved in the memory of the BIOS; a customization program provided with a characteristic value is edited; the customization program is recorded to the customization program writing space by using a recording program; after ensuring that the recording of the customization program is completed, a self test program when starting up is executed; whether the customization program is existed in the customization program writing space is judged according to the characteristic value; when the characteristic value is existed, the customization program is copied to system memory; and the customization program is executed. A user can extend the invention by self without being limited to the intended function provided by hardware system manufacturers. The invention realizes the extension for the BIOS, and the execution priority and the safety of the customization program are both better than the general application program on the operating system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for updating a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) program, in particular to a method for updating a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) that utilizes reserved writing space for expanding / deleting customized programs. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, the BIOS on the motherboard of a computer is composed of a binary file (binary file) provided by the hardware system manufacturer that is directly burned into the memory. When the user wants to update the BIOS, he needs to use the The BIOS ROM Flash Utility provided by the hardware system manufacturer burns the binary files of the entire BIOS into the memory of the BIOS on the motherboard of the computer to complete the update program, but The above-mentioned update method has the following disadvantages: (1) The program codes contained in the memory of the BIOS are all provided by the hardware system manufacturer with common programs, and users cannot add progr...

[0002] Generally speaking, the BIOS on the motherboard of a computer is composed of a binary file (binary file) provided by the hardware system manufacturer that is directly burned into the memory. When the user wants to update the BIOS, he needs to use the The BIOS ROM Flash Utility provided by the hardware system manufacturer burns the binary files of the entire BIOS into the memory of the BIOS on the motherboard of the computer to complete the update program, but The above update method has the following disadvantages: (1) The program codes contained in the memory of the basic input and output system are all provided by the hardware system manufacturer with general and general programs, and users cannot add programs and functions by themselves.

(2) The BIOS burning and updating program cannot provide users with the option to update specific program code segments in the memory of the BIOS, and only the preset ones in the BIOS burning and updating program can be performed. burn update program for the entire BIOS memory

[0003] Among the current BIOS update methods, there is a method that utilizes the customized settings stored on the peripheral device to overwrite the computer during the boot self-test program stage. The original BIOS settings on the motherboard, for example, update the fan speed from 50% to 80%, but the above method is only to change the default BIOS settings to customized BIOS settings System settings, and cannot expand the basic input and output system
