Embodiment

[0015] like figure 1 As shown, the method for realizing multiple products sharing one version of BIOS of the present invention divides the logical address of the BIOS chip into several independent areas BIOS-A, BIOS-B, BIOS-C, BIOS-D...BIOS-N, each The independent areas belong to different products respectively, and the BIOS setting of each product is completed in an independent logical address space. Connect the SPI bus of the system PCH to port 1 of the Switch chip, and connect port 2 of the Switch chip to the BIOS chip. The Switch chip is connected with the FPGA unit through the CTRL control unit. The FPGA unit controls the Switch chip through the CTRL control part, and connects the different logical addresses of the BIOS chip with the SPI bus by means of jumping / shifting, so as to realize the connection between the logical addresses of the BIOS chips of different products and the SPI bus, so as to achieve the BIOS chip for the purpose of sharing multiple products.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for achieving the aim that one BIOS version is shared by multiple products, and belongs to the technical field of server board cards. The method for achieving the aim that one BIOS version is shared by multiple products includes the steps that a logical address of a BIOS chip is divided into a plurality of independent areas, all the independent areas belong to different products respectively, and BIOS setting of all the products is completed in independent logical address space; the BIOS chip is connected with an SPI bus through a Switch chip, the Switch chip is connected with an FPGA unit and controlled through the FPGA unit, and communication between different logical addresses of the BIOS chip and the SPI bus is achieved. By means of the method for achieving the aim that one BIOS version is shared by multiple products, the workload of BIOS maintaining can be furthest reduced, the timeliness and the accuracy of BIOS maintaining are guaranteed, and the quite good application and popularization value are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of server boards, and specifically provides a method for realizing multiple products sharing one version of BIOS. Background technique [0002] At present, with the development of server technology, there are more and more types of servers, and it is the development trend of the server industry to provide in-depth customized services for different customers. With the development of technologies such as the Internet and big data, various industries have higher and higher requirements for the stability and reliability of servers. BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is the basic input and output system, which stores the most important basic input and output programs, system setting programs, self-test programs after power-on and system self-starting programs of the server. Hardware settings and controls play an important role in maintaining server stability and reliability. It is extremely important for the syst...
