Abstract

The invention provides an electronic device. The electronic device comprises a main board, a communication unit and at least one hard disk back board, wherein the main board comprises a base board management controller in communication connection with an external control device; the communication unit is electrically connected with the base board management controller, and comprises a first data channel for transmitting a first hard disk data signal of the main board, and a second data channel for transmitting a management signal of the base board management controller; and the at least one hard disk back board comprises a hard disk expander, and the hard disk expander is electrically connected with the communication unit, and is also electrically connected with a firmware memory and a nonvolatile memory for performing data storage. When receiving an updating signal transmitted by the external control device, the base board management controller sends the management signal to perform data updating for the firmware memory or the nonvolatile memory of the hard disk expander. The electronic device provided by the invention performs real-time and batch updating for the firmware memory or the nonvolatile memory of the hard disk expander according to the updating signal through the existing hardware architecture, is convenient to operate in updating and is high-efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electronic device, in particular to an electronic device that can flexibly update the firmware memory of the hard disk expander or the non-volatile memory according to an external update signal. Background technique [0002] The firmware of the hard disk backplane on the current storage server is burned offline. When the firmware is to be updated, the firmware chip must be soldered off, and then soldered after the burning is completed. This method is a waste of time and is not conducive to remote monitoring. machine. At present, there are tools under the OS or other third-party tools to complete the firmware update action, which is not conducive to remote operation or batch processing. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic device for solving the problem in the prior art that the firmware of the hard ...
