Method for testing parameter data

Abstract

A testing method for parameter data is applied to a computer device that is provided with a base board management controller, a parameter data storage unit and a cache unit. The base board management controller reads the parameter data stored in the parameter data storage unit; the data is transmitted to the cache unit to be stored and the parameter data in parameter data storage unit is cleared away; then the parameter data in the cache unit is read and rewritten into parameter data storage unit to compare whether the parameter data in the parameter data storage unit and the that in the cache unit are the same, thus achieving the goal of testing whether parameter data access is correct.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a parameter data testing technology, in particular, to a parameter data testing method capable of knowing the correctness and stability of reading and writing of a storage unit for storing parameter data by a baseboard management controller. Background technique [0002] The parameter data of the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) currently used in the server are stored in various replaceable hardware component units (Field Replaceable Unit, FRU) and SDR (Sensor Data Record) memory units, and the parameter The data is very important to the baseboard management controller. When the server is in a dormant or shutdown state, the parameter data can be used to assist the baseboard management controller to continue to work, such as the reception of remote information, the internal signal transmission of the server, etc. , so that the server can still perform part of the work in the dormant or shutdown state, and will not b...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Because the current server manufacturers may not be able to completely complete the development of various replaceable hardware component units (Field Replaceable Unit, FRU) and SDR (Sensor Data Record) memory units on various platforms of the baseboard management controller. Write the parameter data without error or read the parameter data stably. If the parameter data cannot be read correctly, it can be stably read in various replaceable hardware component units (Field Replaceable Unit, FRU) and SDR (Sensor DataRecord) memory units. Write, it will cause the baseboard management controller to read wrong parameter data when working, and when working with wrong parameter data, it may also cause the server to run unstable or shut down, resulting in customer complaints , so it has a considerable impact on the product image and word-of-mouth of server manufacturers
