Abstract

The invention discloses a firmware automatic configuration system of baseboard managing controller. It packages the hardware module, interface module, command module, SDR module and OEM module according to species. Then, a configuration file would be created and separated catalog of every module would be gained. A Makefile would be created after initializing. Reading content of the configuration file, when user chooses an option in a module, checking the configuration file and dynamic display the option of the relate module on the interface and register the relative option on the Makefile. Finally, BMC firmware data would be created and automatically finish the configuration of BMC firmware according to the invention.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for automatic configuration of firmware, in particular to a system and method for automatic configuration of firmware of a baseboard management controller conforming to IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface, Intelligent Platform Management Interface) specifications. Background technique [0002] One of the main problems faced by enterprises in the new economic era is to ensure uninterrupted operation of application systems and to continuously reduce operating costs. Whoever can better control the cost of network management will stand in the forefront of the competition. [0003] Market demand determines the development direction of technology and industry. Some major manufacturers in the industry have joined forces since 1997, stepping into the road of research and development of intelligent server management. Their starting point is to solve the problem of low server hardware management ...
