Embodiment Construction

[0014] refer to figure 1 Shown is a hardware architecture diagram of a preferred embodiment of the system in which different motherboards share the same BIOS in the present invention. The system runs in a computer (not shown), which mainly includes a motherboard 1 . The motherboard 1 includes a Basic Input / Output System (BIOS) 10 and a Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) 20 . The main board 1 has a unique main board identification. The motherboard identification can be burnt into a designated location 200 in the NVRAM 20 by the jig of the production line during the production process of the motherboard 1 .

[0015] In this embodiment, the BIOS 10 adopts UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) standard. The BIOS 10 includes a plurality of functional modules (see the following description), which are used to set a system configuration data for each different type of mainboard (including the mainboard 1), set a configuration id...

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for sharing the same BIOS (Basic Input Output System) for different mainboards. Each mainboard is respectively provided with a NVRAM (Non Volatile Random Access Memory) and BIOS, wherein the NVRAM internally stores the mainboard mark of the mainboard, and various types of system configuration data is arranged in the BIOS. Each type of system configuration data corresponds to one mainboard and needs one configuration mark to be built; the configuration mark of each type of system configuration data is matched with the mainboard mark of the corresponding mainboard. When the BIOS operates, the mainboard mark is read from the NVRAM, and the read mainboard mark is compared with the configuration mark of each type of system configuration data to obtain the system configuration data corresponding to the mainboard so as to perform the obtained system configuration data. The invention also provides a relevant method. The same BIOS can be applied for different mainboards by setting the mark.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a BIOS setting system and a method, in particular to a BIOS setting system and a method for realizing that motherboards of different models share the same BIOS. Background technique [0002] The basic input / output system (Basic Input / Output System, referred to as BIOS) is a set of programs solidified on a read-only memory (ROM) chip on the motherboard of the computer. Basic input and output programs, system configuration data, self-test programs after power-on and system self-start programs, etc. [0003] The traditional BIOS is written in assembly language, which is difficult to maintain and develop. The emerging UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) standard BIOS (hereinafter referred to as UEFI BIOS) is written in C / C++ language, which greatly improves development efficiency and simplifies maintenance. UEFI BIOS has the advantages of standardization and modularization. It not o...
