Method for displaying debugging codes by using LED lamps on keyboard of computer

Abstract

After power source of computer host is turned to on and passed to power on test phase, the method uses dark and light combination of LEDs on computer keyboard to display debugging codes to inform user the current debugging executive mode. The method includes following steps: first, building checklist of debugging codes; next, receiving error message of execution, then, generating control signal from error message of execution based on checklist of debugging codes; finally, receiving the control signal, and generating combination of LEDs corresponding to error message of execution based on the signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for displaying error detection codes, in particular to a method for displaying error detection codes by using LED lights on a computer keyboard. Background technique [0002] BIOS (Basic Input Output System), as the name implies, means the most basic software in the system, which is the program burned in the flash read-only memory (Flash ROM) when the motherboard leaves the factory. Its most basic function is to memorize the basic settings of the computer. At the same time, users can also set the system mode and hardware related parameters through the BIOS. When the system is turned on, the BIOS will perform a power on self test (Power On Self Test) to determine the basic configuration of the system components. [0003] The error detection interface of the traditional PC architecture is transmitted through the ISA or PCI bus. After decoding, the detection code is displayed on the LED or seven-segment display, or expre...

Problems solved by technology

For example: DRAM failure is repeated long beeps, SRAM failure is three quick short beeps, VGA card failure is eight quick short beeps, for maintenance, testing and other purposes, this interface is widely used Engineers and technicians in the industry, but today the industry emphasizes after-sales service and has established so-called after-sales service centers, hoping to solve all system operation problems for customers with convenient and fast service efficiency. If the current mainstream error detection interface is to be built in On the product, the user can know the status of the system’s debugging operation through the information display on the user’s end, so as to quickly notify the technical staff for telephone technical support. This will inevitably cause problems. First, the cost of hardware design and the cost of materials The cost will increase, because LED or seven-segment displays are all additional equipment, and the production needs to be re-planned on the established specifications, and the required parts will increase, and the relative material cost will also increase; moreover, the above-mentioned debugging interface display device is built on In the case of the computer, when the user encounters an obstacle and needs to use this interface to know the current error detection status of the system, he needs to open the case of the computer to observe the current error detection code display, which often causes inconvenience in use
