Problems solved by technology

However, the above-mentioned method of burning firmware will occupy a lot of resources of the baseboard management controller, such as general-purpose input and output (GPIO) pins, etc.
[0003] In addition, the firmware version used by the computing device in the traditional server and the information on the various operating statuses of other system devices in the server cannot be obtained directly through the computing device, which makes it difficult to confirm whether the version of the computing device is correct. And it is not conducive to the execution of the debugging process of the system device

Abstract

A computing device adapted to a server having a baseboard management controller. The computing device includes a first inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus, a storage unit, a second I2C bus, and a first register. The first I2C is configured to connect to the baseboard management controller. The storage unit is connected to the first I2C and configured to store firmware data of the computing device. The second I2C is configured to connect to the baseboard management controller. The first register is connected to the second I2C and a first set of general-purpose input / output (GPIO) pins. The first register is configured to obtain and store a first status message of a first system device through the GPIO pins. The baseboard management controller programs the firmware data into the storage unit through the first I2C, and read the first status message through the second I2C.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a computing device and its operating method, in particular to a computing device and its operating method using an integrated circuit bus. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, computing devices in servers, such as complex programmable logic devices (Complex Programmable Logic Devices, CPLDs), need to burn their corresponding firmware data into the devices before they can run normally. The common method of burning firmware data is to use the burner provided by the manufacturer, the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in the server to simulate the JTAG interface burning, or add a switch to realize the point-to-point architecture. However, the above-mentioned method of burning firmware will occupy a lot of resources of the baseboard management controller, such as GPIO pins and the like. [0003] In addition, the firmware version used by the computing device in the traditional server and the various operatin...
