Abstract

The invention discloses a BMC based Firmware automatic update system of a programmable logic device of a server, including a PC machine, a switch connected to the PC machine and a plurality of server machine platforms connected to the switch; the PC machine, the switch, and the plurality of server machine platforms form a local area network system through network cables; a BMC baseboard management controller is arranged in the server machine platforms, the BMC substrate management controller existing in a server hardware system as a stand-alone sub-system. The system in the invention can realize simultaneous update of the Firmware of a plurality of servers, not requiring operators to have knowledge of and tools for professional writing of the Firmware of the programmable logic device, greatly reducing time cost and labor cost, and enabling easier maintenance and update of the servers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of server hardware, in particular to a firmware automatic update system of a BMC-based server programmable logic device. Background technique [0002] With the development of programmable logic devices such as CPLD and FPGA, CPLD / FPGA is widely used in circuit design, board-specific chips, control chips and arithmetic-specific chips. In the design of server hardware, more and more functions are now implemented by CPLD or FPGA, so that the functions of hardware can be repaired by programming like software, which improves the flexibility and versatility of electronic system design. Using programmable logic devices to realize these functional designs, on the one hand, reduces the use of components, saves board space and development costs. On the other hand, it also makes the update and maintainability of hardware design a reality, because engineers only need to update the Firmware of CPLD or FPGA to realize th...
