Computer embedded product data synchronous updating method

Abstract

The invention provides a computer embedded product data synchronous updating method. The method comprises the steps of newly adding a synchronization option in a service interface of a baseboard management controller of a computer; judging whether the synchronization option is checked or not, and if yes, controlling a voltage state of a universal output / input interface to be set as a low level from a high level by the baseboard management controller, otherwise, enabling the voltage state of the universal output / input interface to keep the high level; when a system of the computer is started and a basic input output unit performs power-on self-test, detecting the voltage state of the universal output / input interface by the basic input output unit, and when the voltage state is the high level, converting a format of second product data into an SMBIOS data format by a conversion unit and programming the second product data in an SMBIOS management data storage region; and when the voltage state is the low level, converting a format of first product data into an FRU data format by the conversion unit, and programming the first product data in an 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
