Computer embedded product data synchronous updating method

Abstract

The invention provides a computer embedded product data synchronous updating method, which is suitable for a computer. The computer comprises a main board, a jumper pin and a jumper cap corresponding to the jumper pin; first product data is stored in an SMBIOS (System Management BIOS) data storage region, and is in an SMBIOS data format; and second product data is stored in an FRU (Field Replacement Unit) system component data storage region, and is in an FRU data format. The method comprises the steps that the computer judges whether a jumper on the main board is subjected to potential conversion or not; if the jumper on the main board is converted to be in a high-potential state from a low-potential state, a conversion unit converts the format of the second product data into the SMBIOS data format and programs the second product data in the SMBIOS data storage region; and if the jumper on the main board is converted to be in the low-potential state from the high-potential state, a conversion unit converts the format of the first product data into the FRU data format and programs the first product data in the FRU system component data storage region.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a computer information technology, in particular to a method for synchronously updating product data embedded in a computer. Background technique [0002] Motherboard, also known as Main Board (MB for short), is installed in the case and is one of the most basic and important components of a computer. Generally speaking, in the manufacture and sale of computer hosts, manufacturers and marketers Usually, the relevant product information of the host computer (such as product name, product serial number, product specification, manufacturer information, etc.) is pre-burned onto the motherboard so that customers or related personnel can read these product information to understand the computer. At the same time, when the computer system is in operation, it often needs to read the system setting information in these product materials for its operation. Specifically, this product information can be programmed into the SMBIOS (System ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Basically, if the manufacturer or marketer needs to change the content of the product information of the host computer, it is necessary to change the product information stored in the SMBIOS or the product information stored in the FRU. The content of the product information is based on the product information stored in SMBIOS or the product information stored in FRU. If the product information stored in SMBIOS is the main content, the product information needs to be burned to SMBIOS. If the product information stored in FRU is used Data-based, you need to burn the product data to FRU, however, the product data format stored in SMBIOS is different from the product data format in FRU, so the required resources are not the same, if it is Develop and test in SMBIOS format, but change to FRU format in the middle, you have to invest in development and testing again, which is time-consuming and laborious
