Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the flash utility of the hard disk management chip provided by some manufacturers, when the flash operation is performed under the operating system, there will be no prompt after the flash is completed.
Therefore, the user cannot know the result of the refresh, nor can he see the version information of the chip driver, and has no way of judging whether he can leave the refresh tool program for other work

Embodiment Construction

[0013] Generally, when users update the chip driver, they all hope to know whether the update has been completed, so as to decide whether to continue other work. For this reason, the present invention proposes a chip driver refreshing method that can prompt whether the refreshing is completed. In order to make the content of the present invention clearer, the following specific examples are given as examples in which the present invention can actually be implemented.

[0014] The version information extraction instruction described in the following embodiments is, for example, an original equipment manufacturer (Original Equipment Manufacturer, OEM) instruction, and the storage unit is, for example, a nonvolatile random access memory (Nonvolatile Random Access Memory, nvram), but those skilled in the art , which can be applied to various types without limiting its scope here.

Abstract

The invention discloses a refreshing method for chip driver, which is suitable for hard disk management chip. The method comprises: transmitting a edition information extracting instruction to a hard disk management chip to extract the original edition information of a chip driver; writing update data into the storage unit of the hard disk management chip, after an interval, transmitting the edition information extracting instruction to the hard disk management chip again to extract the edition information after the chip driver is refreshed; and comparing the original edition with the refreshed edition, if the two kinds of edition information are not same, notifying that the chip driver refreshment is finished; or else, notifying that the chip driver refreshment fails. Therefore, users can clearly know whether refreshment is successful or not, and then decide whether to go on to do other jobs or not.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for refreshing a driver, and in particular relates to a method for refreshing a chip driver which can prompt whether the refreshing is completed. Background technique [0002] In today's era of advanced technology, most users will install multiple hard drives on their computers to meet the demand for large storage capacity. Generally, a hard disk management chip is used to increase the number of supported hard disks. In addition, with the rapid development of information technology, in order to improve the performance, scalability and reliability of the storage system, it may be necessary to refresh (flash) the driver of the hard disk management chip at regular intervals to optimize the performance of the hard disk management chip . [0003] For this reason, there are two common methods. One way is to use a special transmission line to perform the refreshing action. For example, connect the transmission lin...
