Problems solved by technology

During the writing process, Nand-Flash is prone to bad blocks, which cannot be read and written
In this way, once the block storing the boot program becomes a bad block, it will cause the system to fail to start
[0005] In addition, during the bootloader upgrade process, if a power failure occurs, the bootloader in the Nand-Flash may also be destroyed, causing the system to fail to start

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a startup method and apparatus, and a computer system, which relate to the computer field and are used to reduce a probability of a system startup failure caused by occurrence of a bad block in Nand-Flash. The method includes: when a CPU fails to start a system, receiving, by a startup apparatus, a backup area selection instruction, where the backup area selection instruction is used to instruct the startup apparatus to read a boot loader from a backup area of Nand-Flash; receiving a program read instruction sent by the CPU, where the program read instruction includes a primary area address of the boot loader in the Nand-Flash; acquiring a backup address of the boot loader in the Nand-Flash from a correspondence between primary and backup addresses according to the primary area address; reading the boot loader from the backup address in the Nand-Flash; and sending the boot loader to the CPU, so that the CPU starts the system according to the boot loader.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a starting method, device and computer system. Background technique [0002] When the computer system is powered on, it will firstly execute a boot loader, which is used to boot the system and initialize the hardware. [0003] Nand-Flash is usually used to store the bootloader. When the computer system is powered on, the CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processing unit) will read the boot program from the Nand-Flash, and write it into the RAM (Random Access Memory, random access memory) for execution. [0004] Nand-Flash usually stores data in blocks. During the writing process, Nand-Flash is prone to bad blocks, which cannot be read and written. In this way, once the Block storing the boot program becomes a bad block, it will cause the system to fail to start. [0005] In addition, during the bootloader upgrade process, if a power failure occurs, the bootloader in the N...
