[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0034] In the related art, many BIOS systems are set up with multi-mode startup. Each time the BIOS system needs to be started, it will be started according to the default startup mode. This makes it impossible to flexibly change the BIOS system startup mode according to the actual application scenario, which greatly causes inconvenience at the application level. In order to solve the above problem, the embodiment of the present application proposes a multi-mode startup method for the BIOS system. The method runs on the server side, such as Figure 1 , the method comprising:

[0035] Step S101, reading a target value in a general input / output port, wherein the target value is a user-defined value;

[0036] Step S102, determining a corresponding target startup mode according to the target value;

[0037] Step S103, running the BIOS system according to the target startup mode.

[0038] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, by making GPIO (i.e., general purpose input and output port) into a hardware switch, a multi-mode startup method is generated based on GPIO. Specifically, multiple combination values ​​can be generated according to GPIO, and the combination value can be user-defined and is not limited to a specific combination method. After that, after the server reads the target value in GPIO, it finds the corresponding startup mode according to the target value, such as the target startup mode, and then runs and boots the BIOS system according to the target startup mode.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, by reading the target value in the universal input and output port, wherein the target value is a custom value; determining the corresponding target startup mode according to the target value; and running the BIOS system according to the target startup mode. Since the embodiment of the present application can determine the corresponding startup mode according to the read target value, the BIOS system startup mode can be flexibly changed according to the actual scenario, thereby shortening the boot time, and solving the problem that the BIOS system startup mode cannot be flexibly changed according to the actual application scenario and the inconvenience at the application level in the related art.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, before reading the target value in the general input and output port, the method further includes:

[0041] Obtaining the number of general purpose input and output ports, wherein the number is at least two, and each general purpose input and output port corresponds to a binary value;

[0042] The binary values ​​represented by the universal input and output ports are combined to obtain a combined reference value, wherein the reference value includes a target value.

[0043] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, two GPIOs can be obtained, and then each GPIO can correspond to a binary value, such as 1 or 0, so that the two GPIOs are combined to obtain digital combinations such as 00, 01, 10, and 00, 01, 10 are input into the BIOS system as reference values.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, determining the corresponding target startup mode according to the target value includes:

[0045] Setting a preset start mode corresponding to each reference value, wherein the preset start mode includes a target start mode;

[0046] Based on the target value, a target startup mode is selected from the preset startup modes.

[0047] Optionally, a preset startup mode is set for each reference value. In the embodiment of the present application, 00, 01, and 10 can be set to normal startup mode, quick startup mode, and troubleshooting mode, respectively. In this way, each time the GPIO is read, it is only necessary to search the three preset startup modes for the read value to obtain the startup mode that the current BIOS system is to run.

[0048] It should be noted that the above combination is only an example, and the preset startup mode corresponding to each reference value is also an example. The embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to the above implementation methods.

[0049] Here, if the target value read is 01, then the corresponding target startup mode should be the quick startup mode. The quick startup mode can be applied to specific occasions, such as the central control navigation system.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, running the BIOS system according to the target boot mode includes:

[0051] When the target startup mode is determined to be the fast startup mode, the target value is assigned to the target variable and the target variable is stored; after obtaining the instruction to start the unified extensible firmware interface operating system, the drivers except the serial hardware driver are shielded, and then the BIOS system is run.

[0052] When it is determined that the target startup mode is the troubleshooting mode, the serial port information is initialized, the debugging information of the hardware device is detected, and then the BIOS system is run, wherein the serial port information includes memory information and chip information.

[0053] When the target boot mode is determined to be the normal boot mode, the BIOS system is directly run according to the default boot mode.

[0054] Alternatively, if Figure 2 , when the target value of GPIO is read as 01, the target boot mode is determined to be the fast boot mode. At this time, 01 is assigned to a target variable (such as pcd), and the target variable is stored, so that the boot mode can be determined by directly reading the target variable in the future. Return directly in the entry point. At this time, the server only needs to receive the instruction of the operating system of the unified extensible firmware interface and determine to boot to the operating system of the unified extensible firmware interface. At this time, only the hard disk is needed to start the OS, so the serial hardware driver is retained, and unnecessary drivers such as USB and PS2 interfaces are shielded. All legacy boot methods, smm drivers, setup settings, UEFI shells, etc. are not needed. In this way, it takes about 800ms to enter the OS.

[0055] like Figure 2 , after reading the target value of GPIO as 10, determine that the target boot mode is the troubleshooting mode, initialize the serial port, and then throw out some necessary debugging information, such as: memory initialization completed, chip initialization completed, detection of display, mouse, keyboard and other devices, and other desired debugging information, and then run the BIOS system.

[0056] like Figure 2 , when the target value of GPIO is read as 00, it is determined that the target startup mode is the normal startup mode. At this time, it is started according to the default startup mode without making any changes.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting multiple startup modes, the starting speed is improved, which is suitable for use in situations where high boot speed requirements are required, and improves user experience and convenience. At the same time, the embodiment of the present application adds a troubleshooting mode. The troubleshooting mode is basically the same as the driver module loaded in the normal startup mode, but adds the function of initializing the serial port and throwing error debugging information through the serial port. In this way, when the device fails, some early positioning can be done.

[0058] It should be noted that, for the aforementioned method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should be aware that the present application is not limited by the described order of actions, because according to the present application, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously.

Based on such an understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM (Read-Only Memory) / RAM (Random Access Memory), a magnetic disk, or an optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, a computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to execute the methods of each embodiment of the present application.
