Embodiment Construction

[0023] At present, there are two source files in the source files of VxWorks BSP (Board Support Software) that are closely related to BIOS initialization network port devices. Source file A is used to specify the number of network ports, the driver used by each network port and its Type, resource size required by the network port driver; source file B is used to start the network port device. When the number of network port devices connected to the single board of the network device increases, the corresponding source file A and source file B also need to be changed accordingly.

[0024] The present invention provides the method for adding network port equipment in the VxWorks BIOS of the single board of network equipment, concrete implementation process is as follows, see figure 1 :

[0025] Step 1: Determine the maximum number of network ports supported by the single-board operating system in source file B. The specific number of network ports supported by the single-board ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for adding network port device to the basic input output system (BIOS) comprising, first setting the interface function of the BIOS adding network device according the network port device information needed by the BIOS source fine and the network device number it can supports, after the single board of the network device starts the BIOS, the application software calling the interface function based on the need to add the network port device. The invention reduces the maintenance work for the BIOS and improves the stability of the BIOS, it also realized the fast and flexible installation of the network port devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to a method for adding a network port device in a BIOS (Basic Input Output System). Background technique [0002] Currently, a standard PCI (Personal Communications Interface) is provided on a single board of a network communication device. PCI cards with different functions can be inserted into the PCI slots, such as PCI network cards, ATM interface cards, POS cards, E1 interface cards, etc. to expand the functions of the single board and make it suitable for various application needs. For example, on products such as routers and access servers, multiple PCI network cards can be inserted into PCI slots on a single board to provide multiple Ethernet access ports. [0003] The board needs BIOS to boot during the startup process. The BIOS of most existing single boards is made under VxWorks (embedded real-time multitasking operating system). VxWorks will initialize all...
