System and method for implementing program updating

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and method for implementing program updating. The system is characterized by comprising a management controller and programmable devices, wherein the management controller is connected with the programmable devices through signal switching devices, and one or more large-capacity storage devices are connected below the management controller and used for storing new-version programs and catalogues of the programs; the program version stored in the large-capacity storage devices is newer than a current version in the programmable devices, the management controller controls the signal switching devices SWITCH to switch program burning interfaces to the programmable devices, programs are updated for the programmable devices through the program burning interfaces, and the program updating operation is completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of system program management, and in particular relates to a system and method for realizing program update. Background technique [0002] In server design, a large number of programmable devices are often used to realize various logic functions, and when using a programmable device, the code needs to be burned into the device or the external memory of the device. In addition, with the new function To develop, programmable devices also need to be constantly updated with new programs. There are generally two program update schemes in the current technology: 1. Writer burning, including using the burner to burn after the board is powered on, and removing the program memory chip in a special burner Perform programming, etc.; 2. Use a certain programmable chip in the system to burn programs to other programmable devices through a dedicated programming interface. At present, method 2 is relatively simple to oper...

There are generally two program update schemes in the current technology: 1. Writer burning, including using the burner to burn after the board is powered on, and removing the program memory chip in a special burner Perform programming, etc.; 2. Use a certain programmable chip in the system to burn programs to other programmable devices through a dedicated programming interface. At present, method 2 is relatively simple to operate, but manual device selection is still required in the actual process. File upload, confirm burning and other operations
