Embodiment Construction

[0014] Such as figure 1 Shown is a system architecture diagram for actively managing computer hardware using the BIOS firmware of an embodiment. The architecture is divided into three layers: the application layer above the operating system, the underlying hardware layer, and the firmware management layer between the two. The application layer includes various application programs; the hardware layer includes various hardware of the computer system, such as CPU, etc.; the firmware management interface layer includes drivers adapted to various operating systems and the BIOS firmware 10 of this embodiment.

[0015] BIOS firmware is a program solidified in the computer storage unit. Traditional BIOS firmware can realize basic functions such as booting the operating system into the boot process and performing various configurations on the computer hardware. The management of the computer system by the traditional BIOS firmware is generally limited to providing basic information o...

Abstract

The invention discloses a firmware management method. The method comprises dividing a BIOS program area, a BPI interface module, an active management data area and a virtual disk storage area on a storage unit of a BIOS program; performing active management on computer systems through a BIOS program module in the BIOS program area; receiving application program instructions through the BPI interface module, accessing computer hardware and storing the related data in the active management data area. The invention further discloses a firmware management system. By means of the method and the system, automatic active management is performed on the computer system in the BIOS program module, a uniform hardware operation interface of various operation systems is provided through the BPI interface module, and active management and cross-platform management of the computer systems are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer technology, in particular to a firmware management method and system. Background technique [0002] Traditional computer systems do not have active management functions, such as computer life cycle management, computer health status, etc., requiring end users to develop application software for specific platforms. [0003] In addition, if a traditional computer system uses onboard Flash, additional hardware needs to be added, and drivers or application programs need to be written for specific hardware. [0004] Users can update the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Logo by updating the BIOS. Customization fees are required, so this solution is costly and takes a long time to customize. [0005] The traditional computer system also does not have the function of changing the device boot sequence under the operating system. Contents of the invention [0006] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a firmware ma...
