Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Such as figure 1 As shown, the BMC function customization method based on the dynamic link library includes:

[0021] S1: Generate a dynamic link library with specific functions;

[0022] The specific method is: program a specific function module under Linux, use crosstool_ng to make a cross-compilation tool conforming to the BMC chip architecture, and use the cross-compilation tool to compile the dynamic link library of the specific function module.

[0023] S2: Upload the dynamic link library to a specific directory of the BMC FW;

[0024] The method is: implement the REST API for uploading the dynamic link library based on the BMC FW (Firmware, firmware); transmit the dynamic link library to the specified directory of the BMC FW through the BMC WEBUI or the curl command.

[0025] S3: Load the dynamic link library and implement spe...

Abstract

The invention provides a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) function customization method based on a dynamic link library. The dynamic link library with specified functions can be configured according to user needs, and is uploaded to a designated location of BMC FW (Firmware) through an REST API interface, loaded through an OEM IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) command of a BMC, and used to realize common functions or the specified functions including checking a BIOS file, checking hardware components of a hard disk, a CPU, a memory and the like and the like. By utilizing the method of the invention, secondary development of the BMC FW can be realized, functions of the BMC can be flexibly expanded according to the needs, the reusability of code is reduced, development costs are reduced, and the development efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a BMC function customization method based on a dynamic link library, and belongs to the technical field of server BMC firmware development. Background technique [0002] Baseboard Management Controller BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), supports the industry standard IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) specification, BMC is based on the IPMI protocol, and can perform safe remote restart, safe power-on, LAN warning, and system health monitoring Provide remote management functions. Existing BMC functions are generally implemented by server manufacturers according to user needs. The functions are fixed after leaving the factory, and the secondary development of BMC chips cannot be realized, and the functions of BMC chips cannot be flexibly expanded. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of the above reasons, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for customizing BMC functions based on a...
