Method for setting ROM-BIOS

Abstract

The invention discloses a setting method of a basic input and output system and is applied to the BIOS setting program of a data processing apparatus having a display unit and an input unit, and the invention mainly displays the information of a first shortcut key and a second shortcut key by the display unit when the data processing apparatus is powered on and a power-on self test of BIOS is executed; if the first shortcut key is pressed down, the apparatus enters a first BIOS setting mode, and if the second shortcut key is pressed down, the apparatus enters a second BIOS setting mode. After the first BIOS setting mode is entered, whether the content set in the first BIOS setting mode is revised and stored in the data processing apparatus is judged, if yes, the apparatus executes corresponding POST according to the content set in the revised first BIOS setting mode, or the first BIOS setting mode is skipped and the POST is executed continuously; while when the second BIOS setting mode is entered, only if the set content is revised, the apparatus is rebooted, else the second BIOS setting mode is skipped and the POST is continuously executed. Therefore, the invention can resolve the existing problem that revising any content set in BIOS causes rebooting and leads the power-on process to consume much time.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a data processing technology, and more specifically, to a basic input / output system setting method. Background technique [0002] BIOS (Basic Input Output System) represents the basic input and output system, which belongs to embedded software. The product characteristics are stored in the form of firmware (Firmware) in hardware devices or systems such as information, communications, consumer electronics, and execute the drive. , Control processing, man-machine interface, application program and other functions, use software to increase the additional functions and value of hardware, and produce the cost-saving effect of hardware softwareization. Compared with operating system or application software, it has a more relationship with hardware. Close, in charge of the settings of the central processing unit, memory, boot sequence, etc., is the key to determining whether the hardware functions can be fully utilized. In addition...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in the existing BIOS setting mechanism, no matter which setting in the BIOS is modified and stored, it must be restarted after jumping out of the BIOS setting mode. In the case of the aforementioned BIOS setting modification that does not affect the POST program , obviously a waste of reboot time

[0005] To sum up, how to provide a basic input and output system setting method, so as to solve the problem that no matter modifying any BIOS setting content, the system needs to be restarted, which will lead to time-consuming booting process, and has become an extremely important issue at present.
