Abstract

The present application discloses a method and apparatus for updating server firmware of a server. The server is based on the Purley platform, the south bridge chip of the server is electrically connected to the BMC through the ESPI bus, and the BMC is electrically connected to the firmware memory and the BMC memory storing the server firmware through the ESPI bus respectively. An embodiment of the method includes: When the conditions are met, use the BMC to execute the read operation of the server firmware update image file stored in the BMC memory; update the server firmware stored in the firmware memory according to the information read by the read operation. In this embodiment, server firmware can be updated without additional hardware.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of computer technology, specifically to the field of server technology, and in particular to a method and device for updating server firmware of a server and a server. Background technique [0002] Firmware refers to software solidified in hardware. It stores the most basic parameters of the hardware devices in the computer system, and provides the lowest and most direct hardware control for the system. In servers, it is also necessary to provide hardware control for the system through firmware. In order to enable the server firmware to provide new functions or solve some problems of previous versions, it is necessary to update the server firmware so that the server is in a more stable and secure state. [0003] The existing firmware update method can refer to figure 1 and figure 2 The corresponding schematic diagram. in, figure 1 and figure 2 The BMC shown in is the baseboard management controller ...
