Method and device for self-adapting processor model and VR parameters

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for self-adapting processor model and VR parameters, and the method comprises the following steps: dividing a storage device into a plurality of regions, andstoring one type of processor VR parameters in each region; sorting the access address corresponding to each area into an address mapping table, and storing default VR parameter information and the address mapping table into a processor; in response to power-on of the mainboard, enabling the processor to acquire a processor type in the system and matching the processor type with default VR parameter information stored in the processor; in response to the fact that the processor type is not matched with the default VR parameters stored in the processor, enabling the processor to access an areacorresponding to the processor type through the address mapping table, and updating each VR chip by using the processor VR parameters stored in the corresponding area. By using the scheme provided bythe invention, when the multiplex mainboard module adopts various processor models to generate different configurations, the manual offline burning workload is reduced, the debugging flexibility is improved, and the production cost is reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The field relates to the computer field, and more specifically to a method and device for self-adapting processor models and VR parameters. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of various industries, the needs of customers for computer systems vary according to the specific business types of each industry. Customer demand is increasing, and the design cycle of products is shortening. Therefore, customers will consider the cost factor of the product and the redundant design of future product upgrades at the beginning of the design, so they will be more inclined to maximize the use of the chip resources and board of the selected chip. The card adopts the multiplexing method of different chips, that is, the same board can be compatible with multiple processors with different performance in the same package. The management unit adopts the on-chip resources of the selected chip, such as the use of on-chip integrated IE (Innovation Engine, Int...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Different processors will be used when the motherboard module is multiplexed, and the VR (voltage regulator) design specification requirements will be quite different. The main influencing factors are that the current required by different types of processors will be quite different. There are great differences in the accuracy range required by different magnitudes of current, especially in different temperature environments for VR chips, and the difference in current magnitude will lead to large deviations in the accuracy of VR current. Configure parameters that conform to the VR temperature-current curve to meet the current accuracy requirements of the processor. Otherwise, different types of processors will have poor performance when using the same VR temperature-current curve parameters. The actual power consumption The problem of large numerical deviations

If the different PCBA numbers of the mainboard module are used to distinguish different configuration versions, a large number of offline firmware programming needs to be manually performed. Therefore, problems such as poor debugging flexibility of the mainboard module, cumbersome firmware version control, and increased production costs will occur.
