Data exchange method applied to BIOS (Basic Input Output System) and baseboard management controller (BMC)

Abstract

The invention discloses a data exchange method applied to a BIOS (Basic Input Output System) and a baseboard management controller (BMC). The method includes: acquiring configuration information of current SETUP options; encapsulating the configuration information into a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)-format data packet; and sending the data packet to the baseboard management controller throughan IPMI protocol to enable the baseboard management controller to detect configuration information of SETUP options, which are stored thereby, according to the data packet, wherein the configurationinformation includes at least the number of the current SETUP options of the BIOS, a name and a current configuration value of each option and configurable values of each option. Therefore, respectivemanual setting of the configuration information of the SETUP options of the BIOS and the baseboard management controller is avoided, work efficiency is improved, and times and costs are also saved. Correspondingly, a data exchange device and data exchange equipment applied to the BIOS and the baseboard management controller and a computer-readable storage medium disclosed by the invention also have the above-mentioned technical effects.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, more specifically, to a data interaction method, device, equipment and computer-readable storage medium applied to BIOS and baseboard management controller. Background technique [0002] A baseboard management controller (BMC, Baseboard Management Controller) is a service processor that uses sensors to monitor the status of computers, network servers, or other hardware-driven devices. [0003] BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is the basic input and output system of the computer. It is a set of programs solidified on a ROM chip on the motherboard of the computer, which stores the most important basic input and output programs in the computer and self-test programs after startup. And the system self-starting program, you can also read and write the specific information of the system settings from the CMOS. [0004] The baseboard management controller in the server has an out-of-band mana...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the SETUP option information of the baseboard management controller and the BIOS cannot be synchronized in time. When the configuration value of an option needs to be changed, it is necessary to manually set the SETUP option information of the baseboard management controller and the BIOS, which increases unnecessary workload. , which reduces the work efficiency; and, the SETUP option information of different projects is very different, if it is manually changed, it will be time-consuming and laborious; moreover, the SETUP option information of the project usually needs to be changed according to the actual situation, whether it is changing the configuration value of the option The number of options is still added / deleted, and the work efficiency is not optimistic; moreover, when manually configuring the SETUP options, it is necessary to redefine the interface specification between the BIOS and the baseboard management controller, which is not conducive to the implementation of the configuration work
