Problems solved by technology

[0010] Although existing technology 3 can realize remote loading of single-board firmware connected to the CPU, if the single-board firmware to be loaded is connected to different CPUs, it is necessary to set each CPU to have a remote management system. Function, so the loading interface is not uniform, and the implementation is more complicated
[0011] It can be seen from the above prior art that prior art 1 and prior art 2 can only load local single-board firmware, and when remote loading is required, the CPU connected to the different single-board firmware that needs to be loaded needs to have The function of communicating with the remote management system, at this time, the loading interface is not uniform, and it is difficult to implement

Embodiment Construction

[0072] Since the IPMI technology can monitor and control the hardware platform independently of the main processor, a standard loading interface can be provided for loading various single-board firmware on site based on the IPMI technology.

[0073] The first embodiment provided by the present invention is a system for remotely loading single-board firmware. Its structure is shown in FIG. 1 , including: a remote management system and a firmware loading unit. Wherein the firmware loading unit includes a system management module and at least one single board. Wherein the single board includes a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), a processor module and at least one firmware connected to the processor module. The system management module is provided with a remote and local data conversion unit; the BMC is provided with a local data processing unit.

[0074] The functions of each functional device are as follows:

[0075] The remote management system is used to realize remote...

Abstract

This invention concerns a kind of methods and systems to realize the remote loading of firmware veneer, the core of which is: the IPMI data packets from the remote end will be converted to the local identification IPMI data packets; then the local firmware veneer will be loaded according to the converted data packets. This invention can supply the standard IPMI interface to realize the loading of all kinds of veneer locally. This method is easy to realize and has the excellent stability, extendibility, and translatability, it can also reduce the research cycle and cost. In addition, this invention enable the IPMI subsystem independent from the CPU system, when the CPU system has the accident, BMC can still work. What is more, this invention can convert the IPMI data packets from the remote end to the identified IPMI data packets for each veneer through the system management module and realize the loading of the firmware veneer on many veneers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to the loading technology of single-board firmware. Background technique [0002] The IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface, Intelligent Platform Management Interface) standard is a new generation of general interface standard that enables servers to have intelligent management. The IPMI can provide servers with device management, sensor / event management, user management, fan frame / power supply frame management, remote maintenance and other functions. [0003] The "intelligence" of IPMI technology comes from a management microcontroller. In a host system, this controller is called a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, Baseboard Management Controller). BMC has its own power supply and automatically monitors the health of the system. If it finds any abnormality in the controlled unit, it can take immediate action, such as logging the event, alarm, automatic shutdown or restart...
