[0036] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, further specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0037] At present, the power button function of most servers in a data center is realized by default through the GPD3_PWRBTN_N signal of the PCH to realize the power-on and power-off actions of the server. When the power of the server needs to be powered off, the power button is short pressed to trigger the power-off action, which is triggered by the SCI interrupt to trigger the system kernel to perform a soft power-off action. Long pressing the power button can trigger a hardware power-off action. When the server is in a non-operating system, short pressing the power button can also trigger the system power-off function. At this time, the triggering mechanism is triggered by the BIOS internally according to the GPD3_PWRBTN_N signal to trigger the system management interrupt (SMI) mechanism. The SMI interrupt mechanism is a hardware interrupt mechanism principle, that is, when the power button is short pressed, a hardware interrupt is generated to trigger the system management mode (SMM) of the BIOS internal SMI interrupt. The SMM program needs the CPU to enter the system management mode in advance. The specific operation process is that the CPU needs a memory area SMRAM. Before the CPU enters the SMM, the values of the registers are stored in the SMRAM, and then the program is jumped to the SMIENTRY POINT to execute, and after the processing is completed, the RSM instruction is used to jump back to the original place to continue execution, and the values of the CPU registers are restored. The SMM program will write the power-off value to the CPU internal register through the IO port to perform the power-off action after the server power button is short pressed.

[0038] At present, X86 processors or ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) processors are generally used in servers. The X86 processor refers to the central processor instruction set architecture based on Intel8086 and backward compatible, which supports the above-mentioned SMI interrupt mechanism. Compared with the X86 processor, the ARM processor has the advantages of multiple cores, small size, low power consumption, low cost and high performance, and the processing of the business will be more efficient and faster. Based on the above advantages, the server based on the ARM processor is more and more widely used. However, due to the small size of the ARM processor, it needs to rely on the external SCP firmware for startup and running. In order to ensure the safe startup of the ARM server, the SCP firmware of the ARM processor needs to be checked when the ARM server starts. For the ARM server, there is no BIOS firmware on the ARM server and it does not support the SMI interrupt type, so the ARM server cannot realize the power-off by short pressing the power button at present, which leads to the inconvenience of the ARM server operation.

[0039] In order to solve the problem that the ARM server cannot realize the power-off by short pressing the power button at present, Figure 1A flow chart of steps of a server power-off control method is provided for an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to an ARM server, which includes a microprocessor and a power button. The method includes the following steps:

[0040] In step 101, a monitoring event is set in an input / output system of the ARM server. The monitoring event is whether the cumulative time length of the power button in a pressed state is less than a preset time threshold. The power button in the pressed state includes the power button being converted from high level to low level and then from low level to high level.

[0041] The input / output system can be a BIOS system (Basic Input Output System). A BIOS code is used to create the monitoring event on the input / output system. Specifically, a signal acquisition circuit can be provided in the ARM server. The signal acquisition circuit is connected with the power button and is used to acquire a level signal output by the power button. In the embodiment of the present application, the signal acquisition circuit can be an ADC acquisition circuit. For example, the model of the ADC acquisition circuit can be LTC2440.

[0042] In use, the microprocessor is connected with the signal acquisition circuit. The microprocessor is used to analyze the voltage signal acquired by the signal acquisition circuit and determine the use state of the power button. The power button can have a high level state and a low level state. The power button in the pressed state can include the power button being converted from high level to low level and then from low level to high level, or the power button being converted from low level to high level and then from high level to low level.

[0043] The ARM server is also provided with a timer, which is used to count the cumulative time length of the power button in the pressed state after determining that the power button is in the pressed state. The process of calculating the cumulative time length of the power button in the pressed state can include: when the power button is converted from high level to low level, the first time when the timer starts timing is recorded; after the timer starts timing, when the power button is converted from low level to high level, the timer stops timing, and the second time when the timer stops timing is recorded; the cumulative time length between the first time and the second time is calculated. In this embodiment, the preset time threshold can be 3 seconds. When the cumulative time length of the power button in the pressed state is less than 3 seconds, it is considered that the power button is in the short press state. When the cumulative time length of the power button in the pressed state is greater than or equal to 3 seconds, it is considered that the power button is in the long press state. It should be noted that generally the high level of the power button is the normal state, and the low level of the power button is the pressed state. Of course, the user can also set it as the default power button low level as the normal state and the power button high level as the pressed state. At the same time, the user can set the preset time threshold according to the power control demand of the user, and the specific value of the preset time threshold is not limited in the application.

[0044] Step 102, monitoring whether the monitoring event occurs through the input and output system when the microprocessor is in the working state;

[0045] When the microprocessor is in the working state, the level signal of the power button can be switched between the high level signal and the low level signal. In the process of monitoring and recording the level use state of the power button, the input and output system judges whether the monitoring event occurs.

[0046] Step 103, when it is monitored that the monitoring event occurs, it is determined that the power button is in the short press state, and a shutdown control function is called through the extensible firmware interface (UEFI) on the microprocessor to send a first control instruction based on the power state coordination interface protocol (PSCI) to the microprocessor;

[0047] After it is determined that the power button is in the short press state, a shutdown control function is called through the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). The shutdown control function can be an SMC function, the power management protocol can be a power state coordination interface protocol (PSCI), and the PSCI is a power management interaction protocol between Linux and ATF, which can be used for power management. The extensible firmware interface on the microprocessor calls the SMC function to send the first control instruction based on the PSCI to the microprocessor through the SMC function.

[0048] In step 104, the microprocessor converts the first control instruction into a second control instruction based on a system control and management interface (SCMI) protocol, and performs a shutdown operation of the server power supply according to the second control instruction.

[0049] The microprocessor converts the first control instruction into a system control and management interface (SCMI) protocol, so that the server power supply performs a shutdown operation of the server power supply according to the second control instruction. The application processor on the ARM server includes an operating system (OSPM) and a PSCI power management component (PSCICPUpowerdomains), wherein the OSPM includes a processor power (CPUPOWER), a device performance (DeviceorCPUperformance), a device power domain (Devicepowerdomains) and a sensor (Sensors), the CPUPOWER is connected with the SCMI through the PSCICPUpowerdomains, the DeviceorCPUperformance, the Devicepowerdomains and the Sensors are all connected with the SCMI, and the DeviceorCPUperformance, the Devicepowerdomains and the Sensors all interact with the system processor through the SCMI protocol. The PSCI is a power management interaction protocol between Linux and ATF, and can be used for power management. The microprocessor executes a PSCI_SYSTEM_OFF instruction, and controls the server power supply through the SCMI protocol. The SCMI protocol includes a protocol layer and a transmission layer. The protocol layer is used for describing supported commands, and the transmission layer defines a transmission mode of the commands, so as to realize the shutdown operation of the server power supply.

[0050] It should be noted that the SMC function can pass a PSCI protocol shutdown instruction PSCI_SYSTEM_OFF to the microprocessor. The microprocessor executes the PSCI_SYSTEM_OFF instruction, and controls the server power supply through the SCMI protocol. The SCMI protocol includes a protocol layer and a transmission layer. The protocol layer is used for describing supported commands, and the transmission layer defines a transmission mode of the commands, so as to realize the shutdown operation of the server power supply, thereby realizing the shutdown function in the setup interface and the Shell of the input and output system.

[0051] The embodiment of the application discloses a server power-off control method, which is applied to an ARM server, the ARM server comprising a microprocessor and a power button, a monitoring event is set in an input-output system of the ARM server, whether the power button is in a pressing state is judged through the monitoring event, and after it is determined that the power button is in a short pressing state, a shutdown control function is called through an extensible firmware interface on the microprocessor, a first control instruction based on a power state coordination interface protocol (PSCI) is sent to the microprocessor, and the first control instruction is converted into a second control instruction based on a system control management protocol (SCMI), so that the server power performs a shutdown operation according to the second control instruction. By adopting the technical scheme, the ARM server can realize the shutdown function of the short pressing of the power button through the monitoring event, which is beneficial to the real-time shutdown requirement of the equipment during the research and development and operation and maintenance of the ARM server, saves the time of the user for operating the server to be shut down, and is convenient for the use of the user.

[0052] At present, servers are very common in life and are widely used in the education industry, the financial industry, the telecommunication industry, the military and political industry and the like. The server in the network era plays an increasingly important role. In the daily use process, the server is generally autonomously operated, but when the server has a running fault, the server needs to be managed and maintained. In order to reduce the loss of the server and improve the service life of the server, the power button function of most servers is by default realized through a power signal to realize the power-on and power-off actions of the server, and by default, the power-on and power-off actions of the server are realized through a power distribution unit or a power distribution unit to control the power-on or power-off of alternating current, so as to realize the cycle power-on and power-off. In the process of managing and maintaining the server, if the user goes to the scene, a large amount of time cost and transportation cost will be consumed. When the number of servers is large, such as the servers in a data center, the number of servers can be as high as several hundred to several thousand, and the power-on and power-off actions of the servers are realized through manual operation, which needs to consume a large amount of time.

[0053] In some embodiments, the real-time and long-distance transmission function of the Internet provides a good platform for us. Based on the TCP / IP protocol, control signals can be transmitted to all over the world through the Internet. If the information of a computer can be transmitted to a remote control terminal in real time through a device, the management of a remote server can be the same as the on-site control of each server. In order to solve the problem of time-consuming power management of the server, the embodiment of the application remotely controls the controlled terminal through the control terminal. The controlled terminal is arranged on the ARM server, and a control program is arranged on the controlled terminal, and the control program is fixed in the embedded system of the ARM server of the control terminal. When the ARM embedded system is controlled through the control terminal, a very complex operation is not needed, and the WEB-based control platform of the ARM embedded system can be entered through the network. For example, the ARM server includes at least one group of mainboards and backplanes, the mainboards and the backplanes are connected with the power supply of the server, a microprocessor is arranged on the mainboard, a backplane controller is arranged on the backplane, and the backplane controller is connected with the power button. When a user needs to perform remote power-off operation, the control terminal establishes a control link with the controlled terminal through the IP address of the control device connected with the controlled terminal, and sends the operation instructions of the mouse and the keyboard of the control terminal to the backplane controller. The network card module of the backplane controller acquires the operation instructions and sends them to the processor for processing. The control terminal sends a power-off instruction to the backplane controller in the ARM server, and when the backplane controller receives the server power-off instruction, the backplane controller starts the power button, so that the power button is in a pressed state. It should be noted that the embodiment of the application does not have special requirements for the control terminal, and only requires a browser and the ability to remotely connect with the controlled terminal, so that the remote control can be performed through any networked computer at any time and anywhere. The embodiment of the application supplies power to the backplane controller through an external power supply, so that the backplane controller can operate independently of the state of the controlled terminal. Whether the power supply of the controlled terminal works or not, the ARM embedded system on the backplane controller can operate. Even if the controlled terminal cannot automatically restart in the case of abnormal power failure, the controlled terminal can be cold-started through the remote control terminal. The embodiment of the application sets a BMC module on the control device, connects the controlled terminal through an IPMB interface, and feeds back the running information of the mainboard of the ARM server to the management personnel of the control terminal. By using the above technical solution, the user can remotely control the power supply of the ARM server through the control terminal, which saves the time of the management personnel and improves the control efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments, the ARM server is running and has a control system to maintain the server when support is needed, which can be achieved by remote management software. The management of the server cannot only stop at the level of the operating system, but also allows its upper layer software to communicate with the hardware layer through a certain standard from the bottom layer, and more complete and transparent management of the server. Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is derived from the server field, and its purpose is to provide device management, sensor event management, user management, remote maintenance and other functions for servers. IPMI has the characteristics of standardization, separation of management channel and service channel, rich command set, security, etc. The feature of separation of management channel and service channel of IPMI makes IPMI have high applicability, makes the power supply of IPMI subsystem independent, makes IPMI not dependent on the business management system, and even in the case of business system failure, it still has operability. Moreover, IPMI is an intelligent management platform interface based on Internet, and the core of IPMI is a server processor or a baseboard management controller (BMC), which does not depend on the server processor, BIOS or operating system to work. The baseboard management controller can be a separate agentless management subsystem running in the system. As long as there is a BMC and IPMI firmware, it can start to work, and the BMC chip can be set on the mainboard of the ARM server, and the BMC provides IPMI support for the server mainboard. The good autonomous feature of IPMI overcomes the limitations of the previous management mode based on the operating system, for example, it can still perform operations such as power on / off, information extraction, etc. in the case of non-response or non-loading of the operating system.

[0055] In some embodiments, the server power input is generally 220V alternating current, and the 220V alternating current is connected to the server power input through the power line. Inside the server power, the 220V alternating current is converted into two kinds of direct current, P12V_main and P12V_STBY. Both of these two kinds of electricity are 12V voltage, the difference is that P12V_main provides larger current, and in addition, P12V_main needs to receive a power enable signal to convert the system main power into voltage for other chips or components. The current provided by P12V_STBY is smaller, and P12V_STBY automatically outputs voltage after the AC line is inserted, without power enable signal control.
