Embodiment Construction

[0034] The core of the invention is to provide a method for updating the backplane firmware. In the prior art, for different platforms and application scenarios, different hard disk backplanes are usually replaced to adapt. However, in the process of replacing the hard disk backplane, it will cause a great waste of manpower and material resources.

[0035] And the update method of a kind of backplane firmware provided by the present invention can query the configuration information recorded by the DIP switch through the BMC; the configuration information is the configuration information of the corresponding target backplane; Recorded firmware identification information; judge whether the firmware identification information corresponds to the configuration information through the BMC; if not, call the firmware stored in the flash memory through the BMC, and update the firmware stored in the control chip according to the configuration information. The update of the backplane fi...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for updating backboard firmware. The method comprises the following steps: querying configuration information recorded by a dial switch through a BMC, wherein the configuration information is configuration information corresponding to the target backboard; obtaining firmware identification information recorded in a control chip of the target backboard through a BMC; judging whether the firmware identification information corresponds to the configuration information or not through the BMC; and if not, calling the firmware stored in the flash memory through the BMC, and updating the firmware stored in the control chip according to the configuration information. The updating of the backboard firmware is realized through the BMC, so that the backboard can be suitable for different application scenes and is compatible with different platforms. And an operator can automatically update the hard disk back plate only by modifying the configuration information recorded in the dial switch, so that the hard disk back plate has higher universality, and the cost of manpower and material resources is effectively reduced. The invention further provides an updatingsystem of the backboard firmware, and the updating system also has the above beneficial effects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a backplane firmware update method and a backplane firmware update system. Background technique [0002] The information society is largely a "computing society", and most of the social economy runs on computers. Computing is the core productivity factor that distinguishes the information age from the industrial age. At present, as humans are upgrading from a traditional information society to an intelligent society, traditional computing is gradually being replaced by smart computing. Servers, as the core equipment of computing equipment, are increasingly favored by people. Attention, as an indispensable component in the server, the hard disk is also receiving more and more attention. [0003] Due to the increase in the types of hard disks, from SATA hard disks, SAS hard disks to NVMe (U.2) hard disks, the speed is getting faster and faster, and the design of the hard disk ba...
