Problems solved by technology

The BIOS will read this information during the next boot process, and inform the operating system through an industry standard interface. Obviously, this method is complicated and inefficient, and cannot fully meet the needs of use

Embodiment 1

[0026] In the factory mode, the method of automatically updating the serial number of the machine from the network when the BIOS is turned on, such as figure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0027] 1) On the factory production line, the machine has been flashed with a brand-new BIOS program, plugged in the Internet cable, and turned on.

[0028] 2) Since it is a brand new BIOS, the serial number update flag is false (0), and the BIOS will automatically enter the update state at this time.

[0029] 3) The update module connects to the server of the factory, informs itself of its model, version and other information, and requests the serial number from the server.

[0030] 4) After receiving the information, the server queries the database, assigns a unique serial number in the whole factory, and sends the number back to the machine.

[0031] 5) The server may not be able to return the information in time due to reasons such as a large number of visits. Here, it will ...

Embodiment 2

[0036] In the factory mode, the method for automatically updating the serial number of the machine from the network when the BIOS is powered on includes the following steps:

[0037] 1) Set up a serial number server, open the DHCP service, and wait for the client's request.

[0038] 2) To apply for a section of non-volatile storage within the BIOS, it is generally to find an unused ROM area. Because of the characteristics of flash, the unused area generally has a value of 0xFF, so this area defaults to all values ​​of 0xFF.

[0039] 3) Flash the BIOS into the SPI ROM of the machine, and start the machine.

[0040] 4) The BIOS reads the first byte of the non-volatile storage area in step 2) and finds that it is not 0xFC, indicating that there is no serial number or the last serial number update failed, and this boot enters the serial number update mode. If the update fails, erase all data in this area, and restore the data of this block to all 0xFF.

[0041] 5) The BIOS loads...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for BIOS automatically updating a serial number of a terminal over a network after turning on of in factory. The method includes the following steps: connecting the terminal to the network, turning the terminal on, and a brand-new BIOS automatically entering an update status; an update module connecting with a server of a factory, informing the server of a model type of the terminal, version and other information, and requesting the serial number from the server; the server inquiring a database after receiving the request and assigning an unique serial number for the whole factory, and sending the serial number back to the terminal. According to method of the application, the factory does not need to print barcode serial numbers in advance, production lineworkers do not need to use scanner to input the barcodes, and it is also not necessary to enter the factory customized DOS system environment for writing serial numbers, and only plugging in the network cable in advance and turning the terminals on normally. The BIOS itself connects to the internet and reads the unique serial number. Unnecessary processes are reduced, the efficiency of factory isimproved, production is increased, and good practicality is presented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of displaying computer serial numbers, and in particular relates to a method for automatically updating the serial number of the machine from the network when the BIOS is turned on in factory mode. Background technique [0002] During the production process of the computer in the factory, the product serial number needs to be stored in the BIOS, so that the application in the operating system can read this information, and after the network query, the user can be informed of the warranty date and other information of the computer. The current practice is to pre-print the serial number as a barcode and paste it on the computer shell. After the machine is turned on and the DOS operating system is activated, the factory DOS tool is run. The number is stored in the BIOS storage area. The BIOS will read this information during the next boot process, and inform the operating system through an industry standard in...
