Abstract

The invention discloses a firmware management method and device for a server mainboard, equipment and a medium, and the method comprises the steps: starting main BMC firmware when the server mainboard is started, and judging whether the main BMC firmware is successfully started or not through GPIO of a programmable logic device; if the starting of the main BMC firmware fails, starting the standby BMC firmware, and judging whether the standby BMC firmware is successfully started or not through GPIO of the programmable logic device; if the main BMC firmware or the standby BMC firmware is successfully started, starting the main BIOS firmware, and judging whether the main BIOS firmware is successfully started or not through GPIO of the programmable logic device; if yes, judging that the server mainboard is successfully started; and if not, starting the standby BIOS firmware so as to start the server mainboard. By means of the method, the efficiency of managing the server mainboard firmware can be remarkably improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a firmware management method, device, equipment and media of a server motherboard. Background technique [0002] There are server mainboards with various architectures in the server. Although the setting methods of each server mainboard are different, they all need the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, baseboard management controller) firmware and BIOS ( Basic Input Output System, Basic Input Output System) firmware for management. In the prior art, in order to ensure the safe and stable operation of the server main board, two sets of main and backup BMC firmware and BIOS firmware are usually set in the server main board. In this way, when the main firmware cannot be started normally, the backup firmware can be started to ensure the normal operation of the mainboard of the server. In the process of starting the backup firmware, the method of jumping caps is generall...
