[0072] In order to make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation methods.

[0073] In practice, out-of-band updates are performed before the operating system boots or while the operating system is running, using interfaces provided by hardware or firmware. In-band updates are performed using the operating system's own update tools. In-band updates rely on broadband and are unavailable when the network is down. Furthermore, related technologies store firmware volume files in firmware memory, requiring users to import these files to load the fault diagnosis driver for the BIOS. This requires restarting the BIOS to complete the update, resulting in poor business continuity and reduced efficiency in loading the fault diagnosis driver for the BIOS.

[0074] 1 , a flowchart of a method for loading a fault diagnosis driver according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which may include the following steps:

[0075] Step 101 , in response to determining that the computing device is powered on and a firmware volume file is detected, executing a system control interrupt and obtaining the firmware volume file from a shared area;

[0076] Step 102 : Execute the power management and configuration interface command to trigger a system management interrupt for the basic input and output system, and load a fault diagnosis driver based on the firmware volume file.

[0077] In practical applications, the embodiments of the present application can be applied to computing devices such as servers, i.e., hosts. Please refer to FIG9 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a computing device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The computing device is configured with a BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) and a baseboard management controller (BMC).

[0078] BIOS is a set of programs that are fixed on a ROM integrated circuit on the computer's motherboard. It stores the computer's most important power-on self-test, hardware initialization programs, and system-level service programs.

[0079] A BMC is a specialized service processor that uses sensors to monitor the status of a computer, network server, or other hardware device and communicates with the system administrator through independent connections. The BMC is part of the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and is typically contained within the motherboard or main circuit board of the device being monitored.

[0080] In implementation, an embodiment of the present application can set a shared area for the baseboard management controller. For example, an area in the memory that is not used by the baseboard management controller can be marked out to set as a shared area. The shared area can be configured to be mapped to the system memory BIOS Memory of the basic input and output system, thereby enabling the basic input and output system BIOS and the baseboard management controller BMC to directly read and write to the shared area, avoiding additional data transmission and delays.

[0081] In implementation, the computing device has a corresponding user terminal device. In actual applications, the user terminal device may be a device controlled by an operation and maintenance personnel. In some embodiments, the user terminal device may be connected to multiple computing devices and exchange data with multiple computing devices.

[0082] In implementation, the present application implements the method of adding a firmware volume file for updating a fault diagnosis driver of a basic input / output system BIOS, ie, an FV (Firmware Volume) file, to a shared area through a user-end device.

[0083] The GPE_Lxx SCI (General Purpose Event Low Pin Count System Control Interrupt) is a system control interrupt used to handle specific system events. In computer systems, the GPE_Lxx SCI is defined by the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI is a power management and configuration interface standard used for communication between the operating system and computer hardware. The ACPI specification defines a set of system events, such as power button presses, sleep button presses, and excessive temperature, that can trigger specific handlers.

[0084] To make it easier for hardware and software designers to design interrupt routines that meet their needs, many CPUs provide an SMI (System Management Interrupt). To use it, the CPU enters System Management Mode (SMM), which requires a memory area called SMRAM. Before entering SMM, the CPU stores register values ​​in SMRAM and then jumps to the SMI ENTRY POINT for execution. After processing the interrupt, the CPU uses the RSM instruction to jump back to the original location and restore CPU register values.

[0085] An operating system (OS) is a built-in program that coordinates a computer's hardware and interacts with the user. Common operating systems include Windows, macOS, and the open-source Linux.

[0086] Exemplarily, the POST process is the process after the computing device is powered on. During the POST process, the service initialization module in the computing device can initialize the necessary BIOS runtime service memory (EfiRuntime Services Data) and the service EfiRuntimeServices that provides the update fault diagnosis driver, that is, the BIOS resident function.

[0087] In response to determining that the computing device Host is powered on, it is determined whether a firmware volume file is detected in the shared area. In response to determining that the firmware volume file is detected in the shared area, a system control interrupt is triggered, that is, a GPE_Lxx SCI interrupt is triggered. The computing device Host can obtain the firmware volume file from the shared area, and then the operating system OS can execute a power management and configuration interface command, that is, an ACPI interface command, to trigger a system management interrupt SMI to call a basic input and output system resident function, that is, a BIOS resident function to complete the loading and updating of the fault diagnosis driver.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, a firmware volume file for a basic input / output system is added to a shared area through a user-end device. In response to determining that a computing device is powered on and the firmware volume file is detected, a system control interrupt is executed, and the firmware volume file is obtained from the shared area. Power management and configuration interface commands are executed to trigger a system management interrupt for the basic input / output system, and a fault diagnosis driver is loaded based on the firmware volume file, thereby realizing out-of-band fault diagnosis driver loading and updating for the basic input / output system, and completing the update without restarting the basic input / output system, thereby improving the efficiency of loading the fault diagnosis driver for the basic input / output system.

[0089] Based on the above embodiment, a modified embodiment of the above embodiment is proposed. It should be noted that, in order to simplify the description, only the differences from the above embodiment are described in the modified embodiment.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, the user terminal device is configured to: generate a standard format driver file including a firmware volume file; and send the standard format driver file to a baseboard management controller.

[0091] In implementation, the HPM file is a standardized protocol and file format that ensures that BIOS update files from different vendors and system integrators have a consistent format and structure.

[0092] The embodiment of the present application can use a user-end device to generate a standard format driver file containing a firmware volume file, namely an HPM file, and send the standard format driver file to the baseboard management controller. This can simplify the system management process and enable more efficient loading and execution of basic input and output system BIOS updates.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, the user terminal device is configured to send a standard format driver file to the baseboard management controller based on a file transfer protocol.

[0094] In practice, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard protocol for transferring files over the Internet. It operates at Layer 7 of the OSI (Open System Interconnect) model and Layer 4 of the TCP model, the application layer. It uses TCP rather than UDP. Before establishing a connection with a server, a client undergoes a three-way handshake to ensure a reliable connection between the two. FTP is connection-oriented, providing reliable data transmission. FTP allows users to communicate with one host using file operations (such as adding, deleting, modifying, viewing, and transferring files). However, users do not actually log in to the computer they wish to access and become full users. They can use the FTP program to access remote resources, enabling them to transfer files, manage directories, and access email, even if the two computers have different operating systems and file storage methods.

[0095] In implementation, the embodiment of the present application can use the file transfer protocol, namely the FTP protocol, through an out-of-band management tool to transfer the standard format driver file HPM to the baseboard management controller BMC to ensure the data security of the standard format driver file HPM during the transmission process.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, the standard format driver file is provided with a unique check value, and the baseboard management controller is configured to: perform a cyclic redundancy check on the standard format driver file using the unique check value; in response to the cyclic redundancy check on the standard format driver file passing, store the firmware volume file in a shared area.

[0097] In actual applications, related technologies usually use an in-band operating system (OS) password to verify the firmware volume file. This method is not conducive to batch upgrading and managing the basic input and output system (BIOS) of multiple computing devices.

[0098] In implementation, the embodiment of the present application can generate a unique check value for encrypting and verifying the firmware volume file when a new firmware volume file is compiled through code and the firmware volume file is packaged to generate a standard format driver file HPM. For example, each byte in the firmware volume file can be involved in the calculation, and the SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256) algorithm is used to generate a unique check value, which is stored in the header data position of the HPM file, so that the baseboard management controller BMC responds to the determination to read the data of the standard format driver file HPM and gives priority to reading the unique check value.

[0099] Of course, the above examples are only examples, and those skilled in the art may use other algorithms to generate unique check values, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0100] Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), also known as cyclic code, is a commonly used checksum with both error detection and correction capabilities, widely used in early communications. CRC is often used for data verification in external storage devices and computer synchronous communications. While parity check and Hamming check codes both use even-even parity detection for error detection and correction (parity check codes lack error correction capabilities), CRC uses mathematical operations to establish a predetermined relationship between data bits and check bits.

[0101] In implementation, the baseboard management controller BMC of the embodiment of the present application can read the unique check value before decompressing the standard format driver file HPM, and perform a cyclic redundancy CRC check on the standard format driver file HPM through the unique check value to ensure the integrity and uniqueness of the firmware volume file, thereby ensuring data security. In response to determining that the standard format driver file HPM passes the cyclic redundancy CRC check, the standard format driver file HPM is decompressed to obtain the firmware volume file, and the firmware volume file is stored in a shared area.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, the baseboard management controller is configured to: in response to the failure of a cyclic redundancy check on a standard format driver file, generate a verification error message for the standard format driver file, and send the verification error message to the user-end device to inform the operation and maintenance personnel who control the user-end device that the firmware volume file is not authorized to participate in the fault diagnosis driver loading of the basic input and output system.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present application, a cyclic redundancy check is performed on a standard format driver file through a unique check value; in response to the cyclic redundancy check on the standard format driver file passing the check, the firmware volume file is stored in a shared area, thereby avoiding the use of an in-band OS password to verify the firmware volume file and improving the efficiency of batch upgrading and management of the basic input and output system BIOS of multiple computing devices.

[0104] To further enhance data security, in some embodiments of the present application, the baseboard management controller may further send verification error information to the user terminal device based on the file transfer protocol FTP.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present application, the computing device is configured with a central processing unit, and the baseboard management controller is provided with a high-level signal pin for the central processing unit; the baseboard management controller is configured to: generate a high-level signal for the firmware volume file after storing the firmware volume file in a shared area; send a high-level signal to the central processing unit based on the high-level signal pin; the high-level signal is used to enable the operating system of the computing device to monitor the firmware volume file.

[0106] GPIO (General-purpose input / output) functions similarly to P0-P3 on the 8051. Its pins can be freely programmed for user control. Depending on practical considerations, pins can function as general-purpose inputs (GPIs), general-purpose outputs (GPOs), or both (GPIOs), such as in a clk generator or chip select. Since a pin can be used for input, output, or other special functions, registers must be used to select these functions. For input, a register can be read to determine the pin's voltage level; for output, a register can be written to set the pin's voltage high or low. Other special functions are controlled by separate registers.

[0107] In implementation, an embodiment of the present application can configure a high-level signal pin for the baseboard management controller BMC for the central processing unit CPU. The high-level signal pin can be a GPIO pin. The baseboard management controller BMC can be connected to the central processing unit CPU through the high-level signal pin. After the baseboard management controller BMC stores the firmware volume file to the shared area, the baseboard management controller BMC can generate a high-level signal for the firmware volume file, and can send a high-level signal to the central processing unit based on the high-level signal pin, so that the operating system of the computing device can monitor the firmware volume file.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present application, the computing device is configured with an advanced configuration and power management interface for the operating system, and the step of executing the system control interrupt includes: generating a power management and configuration interface command for the advanced configuration and power management interface; calling the advanced configuration and power management interface through the power management and configuration interface command to send an interrupt request for the basic input and output system to the basic input and output system; the basic input and output system responds to the interrupt request and determines the system control interrupt vector for the general purpose event based on the general purpose event table; and executing the system control interrupt based on the system control interrupt vector.

[0109] In implementation, the embodiment of the present application can configure an advanced configuration and power management interface for the operating system OS for the computing device Host. The embodiment of the present application can generate power management and configuration interface commands for the advanced configuration and power management interface, and call the advanced configuration and power management interface through the power management and configuration interface command to send an interrupt request for the basic input and output system to the basic input and output system. After receiving the terminal request, the basic input and output system can respond to the interrupt request and determine the system control interrupt vector for the general purpose event GPE_Lxx based on the configuration in the general purpose event table GPE, and trigger the GPE_Lxx SCI interrupt through the interrupt vector to transfer control to the operating system OS. The operating system OS can then execute the GPE_Lxx SCI handler to trigger SMI to call the BIOS resident function to load the fault diagnosis driver based on the firmware volume file.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present application, a baseboard management controller is used to generate power management and configuration interface commands for an advanced configuration and power management interface; an interrupt request is sent to a basic input / output system through the advanced configuration and power management interface; the basic input / output system responds to the interrupt request and determines a system control interrupt vector for a general-purpose event based on a general-purpose event table; and a system control interrupt is executed based on the system control interrupt vector, thereby realizing that when a firmware volume file is aggregated in a shared area, the operating system can automatically sense it to trigger a fault diagnosis driver loading process for the basic input / output system, thereby improving the efficiency of loading the fault diagnosis driver for the basic input / output system.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present application, the computing device is provided with a system management mode buffer and a timer, and the steps of loading a fault diagnostic driver based on a firmware volume file include: transferring the firmware volume file to the system management mode buffer; calling a basic input / output system resident function to read the firmware volume file from the system management mode buffer to load the fault diagnostic driver; in response to determining that loading of the fault diagnostic driver has started, using a timer to determine a first target time; in response to determining that loading of the fault diagnostic driver is complete, using a timer to determine a second target time, and generating loading status information for the fault diagnostic driver; determining update duration information for the fault diagnostic driver based on the first target time and the second target time; and sending the loading status information and the update duration information to the user-end device.

[0112] SMM (System Management Mode) communication buffer is a buffer used for communication in system management mode.

[0113] In implementation, an embodiment of the present application may set a system management mode buffer (SMM communication buffer) and a timer in a computing device. The basic input / output system resident function may first read the firmware volume file in the shared area and transfer the firmware volume file to the system management mode buffer (SMM communication buffer). When the basic input / output system resident function is called to read the firmware volume file from the system management mode buffer (SMM communication buffer) to start loading the fault diagnosis driver, the timer may be read for the first time to determine a first target time. Then, the old fault diagnosis driver may be uninstalled and the new driver may be loaded, and the context environment of the driver operation may be saved and restored to implement the fault diagnosis driver update. In response to determining that the loading of the fault diagnosis driver is complete, the timer may be read for the second time to determine a second target time. Exemplarily, the update time may be calculated in milliseconds. Update duration information for the fault diagnosis driver is determined based on the first target time and the second target time. The update duration information may be used to express the duration of loading the fault diagnosis driver. When the loading of the fault diagnosis driver is complete, loading status information for the fault diagnosis driver may also be generated. The loading status information may be used to express whether the loading of the fault diagnosis driver for the basic input / output system BIOS is successful.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, the firmware volume file is transferred to a system management mode buffer; a basic input / output system resident function is called to read the firmware volume file from the system management mode buffer to load a fault diagnosis driver; in response to determining that the fault diagnosis driver loading has started, a timer is used to determine a first target time; in response to determining that the loading of the fault diagnosis driver is completed, a timer is used to determine a second target time, and loading status information for the fault diagnosis driver is generated; based on the first target time and the second target time, update duration information for the fault diagnosis driver is determined; the loading status information and the update duration information are sent to the user-end device, so that subsequent operation and maintenance personnel can check whether the loading of the fault diagnosis driver for the basic input / output system BIOS is successful through the loading status information. At the same time, the loading process can be determined through the update duration information to determine whether the loading process has timed out, thereby determining whether the update mechanism of the basic input / output system BIOS needs to be troubleshooted and optimized, further improving the efficiency of loading the fault diagnosis driver for the basic input / output system BIOS.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present application, the step of sending loading status information and update duration information to the user-end device includes: generating an intelligent platform management interface command for the loading status information and update duration information; sending the loading status information and update duration information to the baseboard management controller based on the intelligent platform management interface command; and the baseboard management controller is configured to forward the loading status information and update duration information to the user-end device.

[0116] In actual applications, IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) can span different operating systems, firmware, and hardware platforms, and can intelligently monitor, control, and automatically report the operating status of a large number of servers to reduce server system costs.

[0117] In implementation, the embodiment of the present application can generate an intelligent platform management interface IPMI command for loading status information and update duration information, and send the loading status information and update duration information to the baseboard management controller BMC based on the intelligent platform management interface command. The baseboard management controller BMC can then forward the loading status information update duration information to the user-end device to improve the data transmission efficiency for the loading status information update duration information.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present application, the baseboard management controller BMC can be used to generate a record log for loading status information and update duration information to ensure that when the data transmission of the loading status information and update duration information fails, the loading result of the fault diagnosis driver can be determined by consulting the record log.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present application, the user-end device can generate first update result information in response to determining that the loading status information is loading successfully and the update duration expressed by the update duration information is less than or equal to a preset threshold, to inform the operation and maintenance personnel that the update for the fault diagnosis drive is successful and the update duration is as expected; in response to determining that the loading status information is loading failure, or determining that the update duration expressed by the update duration information is greater than a preset threshold, generate second update result information to inform the operation and maintenance personnel that the update for the fault diagnosis drive has failed, or the update duration is not as expected.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, the user terminal device can be used to generate a device identification for the computing device; and generate a fault diagnosis driver loading report using the device identification, the first update result information, and the second update result information.

[0121] Exemplarily, the fault diagnosis driver loading report can be presented in a tabular form, with the server IP to be updated as the device identifier placed in the first column of the table. The user-end device can traverse the table when updating, and at the same time complete the loading of the fault diagnosis driver for the computing device, and save the loading status information and update duration information to the second column respectively. In the third column, the data row where the computing device corresponding to the first update result information is located is marked with a first color, and the data row where the computing device corresponding to the second update result information is located is marked with a second color. The table is output and sent to relevant parties, thereby achieving smarter and more efficient operation and maintenance.

[0122] In some embodiments of the present application, the baseboard management controller is configured to determine an unused target static random access memory; determine the target static random access memory as a shared area, and the method further includes: determining device resource allocation information for the shared area; the device resource allocation information is used to enable a basic input and output system to determine the shared area; obtain a base address for the shared area, and an area offset for a firmware volume file; the step of obtaining the firmware volume file from the shared area includes: obtaining the firmware volume file from the shared area based on the base address and the area offset.

[0123] In implementation, an embodiment of the present application can use a baseboard management controller BMC to determine an unused target static random access memory SRAM, and determine the target static random access memory SRAM as a shared area, and at the same time map the target static random access memory SRAM to the system memory BIOS Memory, so that both BIOS and BMC can read and write to the shared area; an embodiment of the present application can determine the device resource allocation information for the shared area. For example, the device resource allocation information may include BUS: bus number, Device: device number and Function: function number. The BIOS system can find the corresponding shared memory through a specific bus number, device number and function number, and obtain the base address of the shared area and the area offset for storing the fv file (firmware volume file), and complete the data copy for the firmware volume file based on the base address and area offset.

[0124] In practical applications, Copy Handler is a program used to copy / move files and folders between different storage media (hard disk, floppy disk, LAN, CD-ROM and others).

[0126] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present application, a complete example is used below to illustrate the embodiments of the present application.

[0127] 2 and 3, FIG2 is a structural diagram of a fault diagnosis driver loading system provided in an embodiment of the present application; FIG3 is a data interaction diagram for a central processing unit and a baseboard management controller provided in an embodiment of the present application; the baseboard management controller is connected to the central processing unit through an intelligent platform management interface, and a shared area (SRAM) opened up by the baseboard management controller BMC is used to map to the system memory BIOS Memory, and both the basic input and output system BIOS and the baseboard management controller BMC can read and write access to achieve; by passing the fault diagnosis driver to the baseboard management controller BMC, and then the baseboard management controller BMC places the shared memory and notifies the host Host, the host Host triggers the GPE_Lxx SCI interrupt after receiving the change, and the operating system OS executes the ACPI interface command to trigger the SMI to call the BIOS resident function to complete the update of the fault diagnosis driver; the resident function will first read the Fv file in the shared memory and place it in the SMM (System Management Mode) communication The update process is as follows: in the buffer, the old fault diagnosis driver is uninstalled, the corresponding area is erased, the new driver is loaded, and the context environment of the driver operation is saved and restored; the update status is notified to the BMC through the IPMI command, and the BMC returns the update result to the user after receiving the command; further, since it is an out-of-band update, the server IP to be updated can be placed in the first column of the table, and when updating, Excel is traversed and the update of the server fault diagnosis driver is completed at the same time, and the returned results (whether the update is successful, the update time) are stored in the second column and the third column respectively. In response to determining that an update has failed, the data in the row is marked red. In response to determining that the update time exceeds the preset update time, the data row is marked yellow, and the update result table is output and notified to the relevant parties by email.

[0128] Compared to traditional fault diagnosis driver update methods, this solution does not require an in-band OS password and uses a standard HPM format for out-of-band updates, facilitating batch upgrades and management. The fault diagnosis driver is updated out-of-band by the baseboard management controller (BMC) while the system is running, taking effect in real time. This also avoids the traditional approach of requiring users to manually import fault diagnosis policies to activate the update through firmware reboots. This improves efficiency, saves time, and minimizes disruptions to user business continuity, significantly facilitating R&D and testing. This update method offers several advantages. First, by mapping a shared area (SRAM) into BIOS memory, the BIOS and BMC can directly read and write to each other, eliminating additional data transfers and latency. Second, by transferring the fault diagnosis driver to the BMC and notifying the host via shared memory, real-time fault diagnosis and driver updates are possible. This is crucial for timely detection and resolution of system faults, improving system reliability and stability. Furthermore, by utilizing the SMM communication buffer and SMI mechanism, seamless driver loading and runtime environment preservation and restoration are achieved, ensuring proper driver operation and system stability. That is, by using BMC out-of-band update fault diagnosis driver, security is provided, manageability is improved, and the continuous availability of the entire machine is increased. The delay time is reduced by an order of magnitude, providing business-sensitive customers with a stable and secure business operating environment, improving user experience, and increasing server utilization efficiency and practicality.
