Embodiment Construction

[0038] About the feature, structure and effect of the present invention, the best embodiment is now described in detail as follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] The electronic device capable of updating the BIOS and the updating method of the BIOS included in the present invention include four embodiments, which are described by the inventors below.

[0040] Please refer to figure 1 and figure 2 In the first embodiment, an electronic device 10 that can update the basic input and output system is provided. The electronic device 10 is electrically connected to a server 20. The server 20 described here includes but is not limited to the electronic device 10 manufacturer providing users with The software service host for downloading the firmware update file, or a mirror service host that is released by a third party and also provides users with downloading the firmware update file. The server 20 stores an update program, which is a firmware update file...

Abstract

An electronic device (10) having updatable BIOS (102) is used to perform a BIOS updating method. The electronic device (10) electrically connects to a server (20), in which update data is stored. The electronic device (10) includes a Basic Input / Output System (BIOS (102)), a network connection module (104) and a switch (103). A BIOS program is stored in the BIOS (102), and a connecting program is stored in the network connection module (104) for connecting to the server (20). When the electronic device (10) is updating, the BIOS (102) switches to electrically connect to the network connection module (104) via the switch (103), and the network connection module (104) connects to the server (20) by executing the connecting program, downloads the update data applying to the BIOS (102), and overwrites the update data to the BIOS (102) to update the BIOS program.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electronic device capable of updating programs and a program updating method thereof, in particular to an electronic device capable of updating basic input and output systems in different system states and a basic input and output system updating method thereof. Background technique [0002] In an electronic system, the Basic Input / Output System (BIOS) is an indispensable firmware. Since the BIOS stores the most basic software program code in the electronic system, it is necessary to load any electronic device hardware. Detect and link through the basic input and output system. In addition, because the basic input and output system is a read-only memory (Read-Only Memory, ROM), the software program code stored in it will not disappear because the electronic system is turned off, so in When an electronic device is started, it must first read the program code stored in the BIOS to load the basic hardware equipment.
