Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of server technology, specifically relating to a white-box switch test instruction processing method, system, terminal, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Because data centers handle a massive amount of data forwarding, a single white-box switch may be responsible for forwarding data from dozens or even hundreds of servers. Furthermore, aside from periodic maintenance, white-box switches operate at full capacity almost constantly, making their stability crucial. Current stability tests often involve a serial server connected to the white-box switch sending a large amount of data to the switch, thus increasing its load and testing its operational stability under high pressure.

[0003] However, during actual testing, it was found that the shortcut key keyboard codes in the white-box switch BIOS were not recognized by Python, or were partially not recognized, due to differences in serial port format null characters. This caused test commands to fail and tests to fail. Since stability testing of white-box switches is a lengthy process, if test commands fail to execute midway, all previous work becomes ineffective, resulting in a significant waste of time and resources.

[0056] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0057] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0058] The key terms used in this invention will be explained below.

[0059] BIOS is an abbreviation for "Basic Input Output System." On IBM PC-compatible systems, it's an industry-standard firmware interface. It's a set of programs embedded in a ROM chip on the computer's motherboard. It stores the computer's most important basic input / output programs, power-on self-test (POST) programs, and system boot programs. It can read and write specific system settings from the CMOS. Its main function is to provide the lowest-level, most direct hardware settings and control for the computer. In addition, the BIOS provides some system parameters to the operating system. Changes to system hardware are hidden by the BIOS; programs use BIOS functions rather than directly controlling the hardware. Modern operating systems often bypass the abstraction layer provided by the BIOS and directly control hardware components.

[0060] Serial communication transmits digital signals. Whether these signals are high-frequency or low-frequency is determined by the carrier signal used for modulation. Generally, signals with lower baud rates can be modulated using low-frequency signals. Signals with higher baud rates require high-frequency modulation. For example, a baud rate of 9700 can be modulated using a signal of tens of kHz, but serial communication baud rates can reach up to several hundred kHz, in which case a high-frequency signal of 10 MHz or higher is required for modulation.

[0061] A Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter (UART) is a serial communication logic circuit. This part can be a standalone chip or embedded as a module in other chips; microcontrollers, SoCs, and PCs all contain UART modules. A UART has four pins (VCC, GND, RX, TX). As an asynchronous serial communication protocol, UART transmits data character by character, one bit at a time. The meanings of each bit are as follows: Start bit: A logic "0" signal is sent first to indicate the start of the transmitted character. Data bits: Immediately following the start bit. The number of data bits can be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc., forming a character. ASCII code is typically used. Transmission starts from the least significant bit and is timed by the clock. Parity bit: Adding this bit to the data bits ensures that the number of "1" bits is either even (even parity) or odd (odd parity), thus verifying the correctness of the data transmission. Stop bit: It marks the end of a character's data. The stop bit can be 1, 1.5, or 2 bits high. Since data is timed on the transmission line, and each device has its own clock, slight asynchrony may occur between two devices during communication. Therefore, the stop bit not only indicates the end of transmission but also provides an opportunity for the computer to correct clock synchronization. The more bits used for the stop bit, the greater the tolerance for different clock synchronizations, but the data transmission rate will also be slower. Idle bit: In a logic "1" state, indicating that there is currently no data being transmitted on the line.

[0062] The console interface is a typical configuration interface. It connects directly to the computer's serial port using a console cable, and allows you to configure the router locally using a terminal emulation program (usually Windows' built-in "HyperTerminal"). Router console interfaces are typically RJ-45 ports and are labeled "CONSOLE".

[0063] USB, short for Universal Serial Bus, is an external bus standard used to regulate the connection and communication between computers and external devices. It's an interface technology used in the PC field. USB offers advantages such as high transmission speed, ease of use, hot-swapping support, flexible connections, and independent power supply. It can connect various peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and large-capacity storage devices, and is also widely used in smartphones. The interaction of data between computers and other intelligent devices and the outside world primarily relies on networks and USB interfaces.

[0064] During white-box switch testing, to maximize automation, only automated testing software was used. Device control is typically achieved through machine codes for key presses. However, the BIOS of white-box switches exhibits some garbled character recognition issues with keyboard codes, and machine codes differ across platforms, posing challenges to the identification and execution of test commands.

[0065] The white-box switch test instruction processing method provided in this embodiment of the invention is executed by a computer device, and correspondingly, the white-box switch test instruction processing system runs in the computer device.

[0066] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, Figure 1 The executing entity can be a white-box switch test command processing system. Depending on different requirements, the order of the steps in this flowchart can be changed, and some can be omitted.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0068] Step 110: The intermediate processor receives a first signal sent by the first chip, the first signal encapsulating white-box switch test related instructions;

[0069] Step 120: Convert the first signal into a second signal and send the second signal to the white-box switch. The communication protocol used by the second signal is adapted to the white-box switch.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2 The intermediate processor can be integrated on the microcontroller. The microcontroller's UART side receives serial port information sent by the serial port server, and sends the data to the switch side through the USB HID signal by parsing the relevant information. The USB HID actually realizes the function of a USB interface keyboard.

[0071] The UART signal does not require level conversion via RS232. RJ45 is used because serial servers commonly use RJ45 interfaces. When using a DB9 serial server, the UART interface should be replaced with a DB9 interface.

[0072] Microcontrollers such as the STM32 and MP430 with USB HID mode can be used, which are relatively inexpensive. Microcontrollers generally require a separate power supply or draw power from a USB interface.

[0073] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the following description further illustrates the white-box switch test command processing method provided by the present invention, based on the principle of the white-box switch test command processing method and the process of processing white-box switch test commands in the embodiments.

[0074] Specifically, the white-box switch test command processing method includes:

[0075] S1. Using the same communication protocol as the second signal, continuously send presence identification requests to the white-box switch; after receiving a response signal from the white-box switch based on the presence identification request, stop sending presence identification requests and send a prompt signal to the first chip, the prompt signal being used to instruct the first chip to start issuing test-related instructions.

[0076] The intermediate processor integrated on the microcontroller monitors the status of the white-box switch and feeds back the status to the serial port server, thereby enabling the serial port server to confirm that the white-box switch has entered the test state and can execute the test.

[0077] S2. The intermediate processor receives a first signal sent by the first chip, and the first signal encapsulates white-box switch test-related instructions.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate processor can convert all serial port signals received from the serial port server into USB signals and then forward them to the white-box switch, such as... Figure 2 As shown in the diagram. This implementation method ensures that test commands are not unrecognized. However, the conversion workload is significant, which can reduce testing efficiency.

[0079] The original signal received from the first chip is screened for keyboard codes. The original signal is a serial port signal. If the original signal has keyboard codes, it is determined that the original signal is the first signal that needs to be converted. If the original signal does not have keyboard codes, the original signal is directly forwarded to the white-box switch.

[0080] Since only test commands with keystroke codes will fail to execute when sent from the serial server to the white-box switch, it's necessary to differentiate between signals received from the serial server. Signals without keystroke codes require no processing and can be directly forwarded to the white-box switch as serial signals.

[0081] Based on this, please refer to Figure 3In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the intermediate processor performs the following method:

[0082] (1) Keyboard code screening is performed on the raw signal received from the first chip, wherein the raw signal is a serial port signal. After receiving the raw signal sent by the first chip, the intermediate processor does not directly forward the raw signal but intercepts it and performs keyboard code screening on the intercepted signal. The specific screening method includes: parsing the content of the raw signal based on the set serial port parameters and extracting data bits from it; and using a keyword search method to search for keyboard codes from the parsed content. The keyboard code format can be entered in the keyword search tool, for example, the keyboard code for keyboard A is 65. The keyword search tool can cycle through different keyboard codes for searching.

[0083] (2) If the original signal has a keyboard code, then the original signal is determined to be the first signal that needs to be converted.

[0084] (3) If the original signal does not contain a keyboard code, the original signal is forwarded directly to the white-box switch.

[0085] After processing the original signal as described above, two results are obtained. One is a serial port signal that can be directly forwarded. For this type of signal, the first interface is used to send the original signal (without keyboard codes) to the white-box switch. The first interface is connected to the configuration interface of the white-box switch via a serial cable (the Console interface is a typical configuration interface. A Console cable is used to directly connect to the computer's serial port, and a terminal emulation program (usually Windows' built-in "HyperTerminal") is used to configure the router locally. The router's Console interface is mostly an RJ-45 interface, marked with the word "CONSOLE"). The other result is a second signal converted from the serial port signal. For this type of signal, the second interface is used to send the second signal to the white-box switch. The second interface is connected to the white-box switch's Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface via a USB-UART interface. Therefore, in this implementation, the intermediate processor provides both USB HID and Console interfaces, allowing control of the entire switch to be achieved using a single UART interface.

[0086] Furthermore, the above embodiments only describe the method for the intermediate processor to process and forward signals sent by the serial port server. In other embodiments of the present invention, the intermediate processor may also directly forward the serial port signals sent by the white-box switch via the serial cable to the serial port server, thereby realizing bidirectional forwarding of serial port signals.

[0087] In the above embodiments, the intermediate processor is a microcontroller. The microcontroller is a test fixture independent of the serial port server. In other embodiments of the present invention, the intermediate processor can also be integrated into the motherboard of the serial port server to directly process the output signals of the serial port server, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Furthermore, the intermediate processor can be set up on the HID server, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the HID server is connected to the white-box switch via a USB cable, and the serial port server is connected to the switch via a network cable. The HID server is responsible for sending test commands with keyboard codes.

[0088] In some embodiments, the white-box switch test instruction processing system 600 may include multiple functional modules composed of computer program segments. The computer programs for each program segment in the white-box switch test instruction processing system 600 may be stored in the memory of a computer device and executed by at least one processor to perform (see details). Figure 1 (Description) Functionality of white-box switch test command processing.

[0089] In this embodiment, the white-box switch test instruction processing system 600 can be divided into multiple functional modules according to the functions it performs, such as... Figure 6 As shown. The functional modules may include a signal receiving module 610 and a signal processing module 620. The module referred to in this invention is a series of computer program segments that can be executed by at least one processor and perform a fixed function, and which are stored in memory.

[0097] If the original signal contains a keyboard code, then the original signal is determined to be the first signal that needs to be converted.

[0098] If the original signal does not contain a keyboard code, the original signal will be directly forwarded to the white-box switch.

[0099] Optionally, as an embodiment of the present invention, if the original signal does not contain a keycode, the original signal is directly forwarded to a white-box switch, including:

[0100] The first interface is invoked to send the raw signal without keyboard code to the white-box switch. The first interface is connected to the configuration interface of the white-box switch via a serial cable.
