Board card type identification method, device and equipment and readable storage medium

Abstract

The invention discloses a board card type identification method, which can receive a preset number of level signals sent by a server board card, then fill the level signals to preset positions in a level array, and finally determine a board card type commonly corresponding to all numerical values of each position in the current level array according to a preset corresponding relation. On one hand, board card types can be identified and targeted initialization can be carried out, so that each server can only store the same set of specific firmware adaptive to all board card types, the maintenance cost is reduced, on the other hand, the level signal is filled into the level array with more positions for board card type characterization, and the board card type characterization efficiency is improved. Therefore, the types of a large number of board cards can be represented through a small number of level signals, and the number of occupied level output ports of the board cards is reduced. The invention also discloses a board card type identification device and equipment and a computer readable storage medium, which have the same beneficial effects as the board card type identification method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of servers, in particular to a board type identification method, and also relates to a board type identification device, equipment and computer-readable storage medium. Background technique [0002] For a server, when its specific firmware (such as BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, baseboard management controller) firmware and BIOS (Basic Input Output System, basic input and output system) firmware) starts, these specific firmware needs to update the board card of the server. However, there are many types of board cards in the server, so specific firmware corresponding to various types of board cards is designed. However, in the prior art, each server only saves the specific firmware corresponding to its own board type, so that through the specific firmware The board is initialized during the server startup process, but this means that the specific firmware inside each server is basically different from each other...

[0002] For a server, when its specific firmware (such as BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, baseboard management controller) firmware and BIOS (Basic Input Output System, basic input and output system) firmware) starts, these specific firmware needs to update the board card of the server. However, there are many types of board cards in the server, so specific firmware corresponding to various types of board cards is designed. However, in the prior art, each server only saves the specific firmware corresponding to its own board type, so that through the specific firmware Initialize its own board during the server startup process. However, this means that the specific firmware inside each server is basically different from each other. The diversity of specific firmware makes the maintenance cost of firmware higher.
