Embodiment Construction

[0032] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0033] refer to figure 1 and 2 , the present invention provides a method for automatically upgrading dual BIOS firmware, which is applied to an automatic upgrading dual BIOS firmware device, comprising:

[0034] S1: SPI boot upgrade status;

[0035] S2: upgrade the first BIOS4 according to the preset method, and start the self-check of the first BIOS4 after the upgrade is completed;

[0036] S3: After the first BIOS4 passes the self-test, upgrade the second BIOS5 according to a preset method, wherein the first BIOS4 and the second BIOS5 are different BIOSes;

[0037] S4: The BMC self-checks and restarts to complete the BIOS firmware upgrade.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the SPI starts the upgrade state, specifically to complete the upload and loading of the domestic S2500 Feiteng platform B...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for automatically upgrading double BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) firmware. The method is applied to the device for automatically upgrading the double BIOS firmware, and comprises the following steps: an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) starts an upgrading state; upgrading a first BIOS according to a preset mode, and the first BIOS starts self-inspection after upgrading is completed; after the first BIOS is qualified through self-inspection, upgrading a second BIOS according to a preset mode, wherein the first BIOS and the second BIOS are different BIOS; and subjecting BMC to self-checking and restarting, and completing BIOS firmware upgrading. By means of the technical scheme, the complexity that a BMC control platform is additionally provided with an FPGA to associate and collaboratively upgrade BIOS firmware is avoided, the response time is shortened, the burning risk is reduced, and the BIOS upgrading efficiency is improved. In addition, the BMC automatically completes upgrading, and the control reliability and the success rate are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of servers, in particular to a method and device for automatically upgrading dual BIOS firmware. Background technique [0002] The current server system tests are gradually moving towards large-scale, centralized management, centralized debugging and optimization. In this regard, the software version of the server in the maintenance room is remotely controlled and upgraded. In order to facilitate simple maintenance operations, the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is upgraded based on the page managed by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller). FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array, Field Programmable Logic Gate Array) control program is particularly important. At present, for the maintenance and upgrading of the BIOS software version of the server in the centralized computer room, the dual BIOS solution of the domestic Phytium S2500 platform, the existing design and operation mode requires the BMC control platform an...
