[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0044] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0045] This application provides a method for outputting serial port logs of server firmware. The execution subject of this method can be the serial port log output device of the server firmware provided in this application, or a serial port log reading device that integrates the serial port log output device of the server firmware. The serial port log output device of the server firmware can be implemented in hardware or software.

[0046] For example, please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This diagram illustrates an application scenario of the serial port log output method for server firmware provided in this embodiment. The serial port log receiving device can be a smartphone, tablet, PDA, laptop, or desktop computer, etc. Figure 1 As shown, the serial port log reading device is physically connected to the server via pins and wirelessly connected to the serial port log receiving device. The serial port log reading device receives the target serial port log of the target server firmware output from the server's serial port output pin via its data receiving pin. It establishes a wireless communication connection with the serial port log receiving device via a WiFi transceiver component and sends the target serial port log of the target server firmware to the serial port log receiving device via this wireless communication connection. This allows the present application to obtain the serial port log of the corresponding target server firmware simply by wirelessly connecting to the serial port log reading device, thus improving the ease of obtaining the server firmware's serial port log.

[0047] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a first method for outputting serial port logs of server firmware according to an embodiment of this application. The method for outputting serial port logs of server firmware provided in this embodiment is applied to a serial port log reading device. The serial port log reading device includes a WiFi transceiver component and a data receiving pin. The data receiving pin is electrically connected to the serial port output pin of the target server firmware in the server. The specific flow of this method is as follows:

[0048] S110: Receive the target serial port log of the target server firmware output by the serial port output pin of the server through the data receiving pin.

[0049] The target server firmware can be BMC, CPU, or other server firmware.

[0050] The serial port log receiving device can be a smartphone, tablet, PDA, laptop, or desktop computer, etc.

[0051] For example, a serial port log reader can be assembled using an ESP8266 module and TX / RX pins. The ESP8266 is a single-chip Wi-Fi microcontroller; the TX pin is the data receive pin for the serial port log reader, used to receive data; and the RX pin is the data transmit pin for transmitting data. It is understood that the Wi-Fi transceiver component in the serial port log reader can utilize the Wi-Fi function module within the ESP8266 module.

[0052] In this embodiment, the user can pre-connect the data receiving pin of the serial port log reading device to the serial port output pin of the target server firmware. For example, the serial port log reading device can be installed on the serial port output pin of the BMC / CPU on the server motherboard. After the serial port log reading device is electrically connected to the serial port output pin of the target server firmware, the serial port output pin will send the target serial port log of the target server firmware to the log reading device through the data receiving pin.

[0053] S120. Establish a wireless communication connection with the serial log receiving device through the WiFi transceiver component.

[0054] In this embodiment of the application, the serial port log reading device includes a WiFi transceiver component, which can establish a wireless communication connection with the serial port log receiving device through the WiFi transceiver component.

[0055] Specifically, in some embodiments, step S120 may include the following steps:

[0056] Obtain the second target IP address of the serial port log reading device pre-configured by the user;

[0057] A wireless communication connection is established between the device and the serial log receiving device using a WiFi transceiver component and a second target IP address.

[0058] For example, the user can pre-configure the IP address corresponding to the serial port log reading device through the host computer. This IP address is the second target IP address mentioned above. Then, the serial port log reading device can obtain the local area network in the current communication environment through the WiFi transceiver component, and establish a wireless communication connection with the serial port log receiving device through the local area network and the second target address.

[0059] It should be noted that the first target address and the second target address in this application represent the IP addresses corresponding to the serial port log reading devices created in different ways. In order to distinguish between the two IP addresses generated by these two different methods, the terms "first" and "second" are used for differentiation.

[0060] S130: Send the target serial port log of the target server firmware to the serial port log receiving device via wireless communication connection.

[0061] It should be noted that users can log in to the IP address corresponding to the serial port log reading device through the serial port log receiving device. At this time, the serial port log receiving device and the serial port log reading device establish a wireless communication connection. Then, based on this wireless communication connection, the serial port log reading device can send the corresponding target serial port logs to the serial port log receiving device.

[0062] In some embodiments, step S130 may include the following steps:

[0063] Forward the target serial port log to the IP address corresponding to the serial port log reading device, so that the serial port log receiving device can obtain the target serial port log through the IP address corresponding to the log reading device.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, after the serial port log reading device is powered on, it will send the received target serial port log to the IP address corresponding to the serial port log reading device. After logging into this IP address, the serial port log receiving device can obtain the target serial port log.

[0065] It should be noted that the serial port log reading device provided in this application logically adopts a client / server model, with the serial port log receiving device acting as the client and the serial port log reading device acting as the server. During operation, the serial port log reading device continuously receives data output from the server's serial port pins, processes it, and forwards it to the client on the network. All network connections, network protocols, and application interfaces involved are defined by the server. After power-on, the serial port log reading device acquires the local area network (LAN) in the current environment, i.e., the wireless WiFi signal within the LAN, and automatically connects to the wireless network specified by the user within the LAN. It can also automatically assign an IP address based on the MAC address of the serial port log reading tool. Furthermore, the serial port log reading device provided in this application utilizes the Telnet protocol at the application layer of TCP / IP for remote data transmission and reception during network data interaction. The serial port log reading device provided in this application can support simultaneous connection and access from multiple serial port log receiving devices.

[0066] In some embodiments, the serial port log reading device further includes a data transmission pin, which is electrically connected to the serial port input pin of the target server firmware in the server. Step S130 may also include the following steps:

[0067] Based on the wireless communication connection, the serial port log receiving device receives log acquisition instructions for the serial port logs of the target server firmware.

[0068] The log acquisition command is forwarded to the server via the data transmission pin, so that the server responds to the log acquisition command and sends the target serial port log to the serial port log reading device;

[0069] The target serial port log of the target server firmware is received through the data receiving pin, and then the target serial port log is sent to the serial port log receiving device through a wireless communication connection.

[0070] The data transmission pin is the TX pin mentioned in step S110.

[0071] It should be noted that the TX pin of the serial log reading device is connected to the RX pin of the server firmware serial port, and the RT pin of the serial log reading device is connected to the TX pin of the server firmware serial port. The RX pin of the server firmware serial port corresponds to the serial input pin, and the TX pin of the server firmware serial port corresponds to the serial output pin.

[0072] In this embodiment, after the serial port log reading device and the serial port log receiving device establish a wireless communication connection, the user can use the serial port log receiving device to send and receive commands with the server through the serial port log reading device.

[0073] For example, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This diagram illustrates another application scenario of the serial port log output method for server firmware provided in this application embodiment. The diagram shows the interaction process between a serial port log reading device, a serial port log receiving device, and a server. The user enters a command or code into the serial port log receiving device; for example, the command could be a log retrieval instruction. The interaction process includes the following steps:

[0074] S1. The serial port log receiving device sends the log acquisition command to the serial port log reading device.

[0075] S2. After receiving the log retrieval instruction, the serial port log reading device forwards the log retrieval instruction to the server.

[0076] S3. After the server firmware receives the log retrieval command on the serial port input pin, the server responds to the log retrieval command and retrieves the target serial port log.

[0077] S4. The server sends the target serial port log corresponding to the log retrieval command to the serial port log reading device.

[0078] S5. After receiving the target serial port log, the serial port log reading device forwards the target serial port log to the serial port log receiving device through the wireless communication connection.

[0079] S6. The serial port log receiving device receives the target serial port log.

[0080] In practice, this application is not limited by the execution order of the described steps. Without causing conflicts, some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously.

[0081] As can be seen from the above, the serial port log output method for server firmware provided in this application is applied to a serial port log reading device. The serial port log reading device includes a WiFi transceiver component and a data receiving pin. The data receiving pin is electrically connected to the serial port output pin of the target server firmware in the server. The target serial port log of the target server firmware is received by the data receiving pin and output by the serial port output pin of the server. A wireless communication connection is established between the WiFi transceiver component and the serial port log receiving device. The target serial port log of the target server firmware is sent to the serial port log receiving device through the wireless communication connection. By electrically connecting the serial port log reading device to the serial port output pin of the target server firmware in the server, this application enables the serial port log reading device to receive the target serial port log of the target server firmware and output the target serial port log to the serial port log receiving device wirelessly connected to the serial port log reading device. This avoids the cumbersome operation of maintenance personnel having to manually connect a computer to the server in the data center via a data transmission cable to view the serial port information of the server firmware, thus improving the ease of obtaining the serial port log of the server firmware.

[0082] Based on the methods described in the preceding embodiments, the following examples will provide further detailed explanations.

[0083] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a second flowchart illustrating a method for outputting serial port logs of server firmware according to an embodiment of this application. The method for outputting serial port logs of server firmware provided in this embodiment is applied to a serial port log reading device. The serial port log reading device includes a WiFi transceiver component and a data receiving pin. The data receiving pin is electrically connected to the serial port output pin of the target server firmware in the server. The method may include the following steps:

[0084] S210: Receive the target serial port log of the target server firmware output by the serial port output pin of the server through the data receiving pin.

[0085] For example, when the target server firmware is BMC, the data receiving pin of the serial port log reading device is electrically connected to the serial port output pin of the BMC on the server motherboard. At this time, the server will output the corresponding BMC serial port log through the serial port output pin of the BMC.

[0086] For example, when the target server firmware is a CPU, the data receiving pin of the serial port log reading device is electrically connected to the serial port output pin of the CPU on the server motherboard. At this time, the server will output the corresponding CPU serial port log through the serial port output pin of the CPU.

[0087] S220: Create a WiFi hotspot using the WiFi transceiver component.

[0088] In this embodiment, the serial port log reading device can be assembled from an ESP8266 module and the TX / RX pins. This serial port log reading device can create a WiFi hotspot in AP mode. It should be noted that the log reading device defaults to AP mode upon power-up.

[0089] S230. Determine the IP address of the WiFi hotspot.

[0090] Specifically, when determining the IP address of a WiFi hotspot, the MAC address corresponding to the serial port log reading device can be obtained, and the IP address of the WiFi hotspot can be created through the WiFi transceiver component and the MAC address.

[0091] In this embodiment, after power-on, the serial port log reading device will obtain the local area network in the current communication environment through the WiFi transceiver component (that is, the WiFi function module in the ESP8266 module), and assign an IP address through the MAC address of the serial port log reading device. This IP address is the IP address of the WiFi hotspot.

[0092] S240. Use the IP address of the WiFi hotspot as the first target IP address of the serial port log reading device.

[0093] In this embodiment, the IP address of the WiFi hotspot is used as the IP address of the serial port log reading device, which is also the first target IP address.

[0094] It should be noted that the first target address and the second target address in this application represent the IP addresses corresponding to the serial port log reading devices created in different ways. In order to distinguish between the two IP addresses generated by these two different methods, the terms "first" and "second" are used for differentiation.

[0095] S250 establishes a wireless communication connection with the serial log receiving device via a WiFi transceiver component and a first target IP address.

[0096] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the user can log in to the IP address corresponding to the serial port log reading device through the serial port log receiving device. At this time, the serial port log receiving device and the serial port log reading device establish a wireless communication connection. Then, based on this wireless communication connection, the serial port log reading device can send the corresponding target serial port log to the serial port log receiving device.

[0097] S260. Forward the target serial port log to the first target IP address of the serial port log reading device so that the serial port log receiving device can obtain the target serial port log through the first target IP address.

[0098] In this embodiment of the application, after the serial port log reading device is powered on, it will send the received target serial port log to the IP address corresponding to the serial port log reading device. After logging into this IP address, the serial port log receiving device can obtain the target serial port log.

[0099] For example, if an operations and maintenance (O&M) personnel use a laptop as the serial port log receiving device, they can use remote serial port software such as xshell, putty, or mobatermel on their laptop to connect to the IP address of the serial port log reading device and then automatically obtain the serial port logs of the corresponding server firmware.

[0100] For example, maintenance personnel can also connect to the serial log reading device by entering the IP address of the serial log reading device into the browser of the serial log receiving device, and then automatically obtain the serial log of the corresponding server firmware.

[0101] As can be seen from the above, the serial port log output method for server firmware proposed in this application embodiment can collect serial port log data wirelessly during server firmware development and maintenance, greatly improving the work efficiency of maintenance personnel and server developers. Furthermore, the serial port log output method for server firmware proposed in this application embodiment can obtain server firmware serial port logs outside the data center, avoiding the adverse health effects of the harsh server room environment on maintenance and development personnel.
