[0027] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the description of this application, the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device. The terms "first," "second," etc., in this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a particular order or sequence.

[0029] For ease of understanding, the following Figure 1 , exemplarily illustrating the application scenarios involved in the embodiments of the present application.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario provided by the embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , the server may include BMC, Basic Input / Output System (BIOS), CPLD, and Network Interface Card (NIC), etc. It should be noted that the server may also include more or fewer devices, Figure 1This is merely an illustrative description and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0031] BMC can manage devices such as BIOS, CPLD, and NIC, and can upgrade the firmware of these devices.

[0032] It should be noted that different devices have different firmware upgrade requirements. For example, some manufacturers' BIOS require the operating system (OS) to be powered on for firmware upgrades, while others require the OS to be powered off for firmware upgrades.

[0033] In the related art, different firmware upgrade methods need to be developed for different devices in a server, resulting in low firmware upgrade efficiency.

[0034] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a firmware upgrade method to solve the technical problem of low firmware upgrade efficiency.

[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0036] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the firmware upgrade process provided in this embodiment of the application Figure 1 .like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a firmware upgrade method. The execution subject of the method can be an electronic device or a controller in the electronic device. For example, the electronic device can be a server and the controller can be a BMC. For ease of understanding, the following description is based on an example of an electronic device as the execution subject. The method may include:

[0037] S201: Receive a firmware upgrade request, where the firmware upgrade request includes a device identifier and firmware.

[0038] A device identifier can be used to uniquely identify a device in an electronic device. For example, the device can be a BIOS, a CPLD, or a BMC.

[0039] The firmware upgrade request is used to request a firmware upgrade for the device corresponding to the device identifier based on the firmware. It should be noted that after the firmware upgrade for the device corresponding to the device identifier is completed, the firmware included in the firmware upgrade request may be all of the firmware running on the device, or the firmware included in the firmware upgrade request may be part of the firmware running on the device. This is not limited in the present embodiments.

[0040] In this embodiment, the electronic device may receive a firmware upgrade request sent by another electronic device, for example, the other electronic device may be a computer, etc. Alternatively, the electronic device may receive a firmware upgrade request input by a user through an input operation, for example, the input operation may be a button click operation, etc.

[0041] S202: Determine the target power state according to the device identification.

[0042] The target power state is the power state of the operating system during the firmware upgrade process, and the target power state is either on or off. In other words, the device corresponding to the device identifier needs to be upgraded when the operating system power state is the target power state.

[0043] In this embodiment, the electronic device may store a correspondence between a device and a power state. The correspondence between the device and the power state may include multiple device identifiers and the power state corresponding to each device identifier. The power state corresponding to the device identifier may be the power state of the operating system during a firmware upgrade of the device corresponding to the device identifier.

[0044] During a specific implementation, the electronic device may determine the power state corresponding to the device identifier in the corresponding relationship between the device and the power state as the target power state.

[0045] S203: Perform firmware upgrade on the device according to the firmware upgrade request and the target power state.

[0046] In this embodiment, the electronic device can upgrade the firmware of the device when the power state of the operating system is the target power state.

[0047] Specifically, the electronic device may determine that the power state of the operating system is the target power state, and may upgrade the firmware of the device according to the firmware included in the firmware upgrade request when the power state of the operating system is the target power state.

[0048] In the firmware upgrade method provided in this embodiment, the electronic device can receive a firmware upgrade request, the firmware upgrade request includes a device identifier and firmware, and the firmware upgrade request is used to request a firmware upgrade for the device corresponding to the device identifier according to the firmware; the target power state can be determined according to the device identifier, and the target power state is the power state of the operating system during the firmware upgrade process; and the device can be firmware upgraded according to the firmware upgrade request and the target power state. Through the above method, the electronic device can perform a firmware upgrade on any device in the electronic device. In other words, the above method is applicable to firmware upgrades for multiple devices. In this way, the purpose of performing firmware upgrades on multiple devices through a standardized method can be achieved, thereby improving the efficiency of firmware upgrades. In addition, in the above method, there is no need to develop different firmware upgrade methods for different devices, which makes the cost of firmware upgrades lower.

[0049] Based on any of the above embodiments, Figure 3 , further illustrates the firmware upgrade method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0050] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the firmware upgrade process provided in this embodiment of the application Figure 2 .like Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a firmware upgrade method. The execution subject of the method can be an electronic device or a controller in the electronic device. For example, the electronic device can be a server and the controller can be a BMC. For ease of understanding, the following description is based on an example of an electronic device as the execution subject. The method may include:

[0051] S301: Receive a firmware upgrade request, where the firmware upgrade request includes a device identifier and firmware.

[0052] S302: Determine the target power state according to the device identification.

[0053] It should be noted that the specific implementation of S301-S302 can be found in S201-S202 and will not be repeated here.

[0054] S303: Store the firmware into the storage space.

[0055] The storage space may be a memory or a hard disk in the electronic device, etc. Optionally, the storage space may be a random access memory (RAM) in the electronic device.

[0056] In this embodiment, before performing a firmware upgrade, the electronic device may store the firmware in the firmware upgrade request into a storage space to avoid firmware loss, thereby increasing the reliability of the firmware and further increasing the reliability of the firmware upgrade.

[0057] It should be noted that S302 may be executed before S303, or S302 may be executed after S303, or S303 may be executed simultaneously with S302, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0058] S304: Create an upgrade task, where the upgrade task includes a device identifier, a target power state, a storage address of the firmware, and a first state of the upgrade task.

[0059] The first state is used to indicate that the upgrade task is to be executed.

[0060] In this embodiment, the electronic device may create an upgrade task in a storage space, and the upgrade task may exist in the form of a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file.

[0061] For example, assuming that the firmware upgrade request is for requesting a BIOS firmware upgrade and the target power state is on, the upgrade task may be as follows:

[0062] {

[0063] "upgrade_target": "bios",

[0064] "firmware_path": " / ram / firmware / hard_drive_controller_fw.bin",

[0065] "power_condition": "system_on",

[0066] "upgrade_task_status": "initial",

[0067] "timestamp": "2025-02-25T08:30:00Z"

[0068] }

[0069] S305: Upgrade the firmware of the device according to the upgrade task.

[0070] Specifically, if the current power state of the operating system is the target power state, the electronic device can obtain the firmware according to the storage address of the firmware in the upgrade task and perform the firmware upgrade on the device according to the firmware. If the current power state of the operating system is not the target power state, the electronic device can obtain the firmware according to the storage address of the firmware in the upgrade task when the power state of the operating system is adjusted to the target power state and perform the firmware upgrade on the device according to the firmware.

[0071] It should be noted that in the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, if the electronic device receives multiple firmware upgrade requests, the electronic device can create multiple upgrade tasks in the storage space. In this way, the electronic device can execute multiple upgrade tasks in series, further improving the efficiency of the firmware upgrade.

[0072] In the firmware upgrade method provided in this embodiment, an electronic device can receive a firmware upgrade request, the firmware upgrade request including a device identifier and firmware; can determine a target power state based on the device identifier; can store the firmware in a storage space; can create an upgrade task, the upgrade task including the device identifier, the target power state, the storage address of the firmware, and a first state of the upgrade task; and can perform a firmware upgrade on the device based on the upgrade task. The above method can be a standardized firmware upgrade method, and the above method can be used to upgrade the firmware of multiple devices in an electronic device without developing different firmware upgrade methods for different devices, making the firmware upgrade process in the server relatively simple and improving the efficiency of firmware upgrades.

[0073] Based on any of the above embodiments, Figure 4 , a detailed description of the method for upgrading the firmware of the device according to the upgrade task.

[0074] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the firmware upgrade process provided in this embodiment of the application Figure 3 .like Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a firmware upgrade method. The execution subject of the method can be an electronic device or a controller in the electronic device. For example, the electronic device can be a server and the controller can be a BMC. For ease of understanding, the following description is based on an example of an electronic device as the execution subject. The method may include:

[0075] S401: Determine whether the power state of the operating system is a target power state according to the upgrade task.

[0076] Specifically, the electronic device may determine whether the current power state of the operating system is the target power state. For example, if the target power state is on, the electronic device may determine whether the current power state of the operating system is on.

[0077] If the power state of the operating system is the target power state, execute S402;

[0078] If the power state of the operating system is not the target power state, execute S403.

[0079] S402: Update the first state in the upgrade task to the second state, and perform firmware upgrade on the device according to the updated upgrade task.

[0080] The second state is used to indicate that the power state of the operating system meets the device firmware upgrade conditions. For example, if the target power state is on and the current power state of the operating system is also on, the electronic device can update the first state in the upgrade task to the second state.

[0081] In this embodiment, when upgrading the firmware of a device according to the updated upgrade task, the electronic device can obtain the firmware from the storage space according to the storage address of the firmware and upgrade the firmware of the device according to the firmware. It should be noted that the specific process of upgrading the firmware of a device according to the firmware can be found in the relevant art and will not be described in detail here.

[0082] S403: Wait for a power operation request, where the power operation request is used to request that the power state of the operating system be updated to a requested power state.

[0083] In this embodiment, the requested power state may be the same as the target power state, or the requested power state may be different from the target power state, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0084] In this embodiment, the user may input a power operation request to the electronic device through an input operation, or the user may input a power operation request to the electronic device through another electronic device.

[0085] S404: After receiving the power operation request, perform firmware upgrade on the device according to the power operation request.

[0086] In this embodiment, the electronic device may determine whether the requested power state is the same as the target power state.

[0087] If the requested power state is the same as the target power state, execute S405;

[0088] If the requested power state is different from the target power state, execute S406.

[0089] S405: Update the first state in the upgrade task to the second state, and perform firmware upgrade on the device according to the updated upgrade task.

[0090] It should be noted that the specific implementation of S405 can be found in S402 and will not be repeated here.

[0091] S406: Upgrade the firmware of the device according to the requested power state and the upgrade task.

[0092] In this embodiment, the electronic device can update the power state of the operating system to the target power state; a state update task can be created, and the state update task is used to indicate that the power state is updated to the requested power state; the first state in the upgrade task can be updated to the second state, and the firmware of the device can be upgraded according to the updated upgrade task.

[0093] Specifically, when the requested power state is different from the target power state, the electronic device can first update the power state of the operating system to the target power state and create a state update task, which is used to indicate that the power state of the operating system is updated to the requested power state.

[0094] For example, assuming the target power state is off, the current power state is on, and the requested power state is a restart state, the restart state may involve first adjusting the power state to off and then to on. The electronic device may first update the operating system's power state to off and then create a state update task, which instructs the operating system to update its power state to on.

[0095] In this embodiment, the electronic device may create a status update task in the storage space, and the status update task may also exist in the form of a JSON file.

[0096] For example, assuming that the state update task is used to instruct to update the power state of the operating system to the off state, the state update task may be as follows:

[0097] {

[0098] "target_status": "shutdown",

[0099] "timestamp": "2025-02-25T10:30:00Z"

[0100] }

[0101] In addition, after the electronic device updates the power state of the operating system to the target power state, it can update the first state in the upgrade task to the second state and perform a firmware upgrade on the device according to the updated upgrade task. It should be noted that the specific instructions for performing a firmware upgrade on the device according to the updated upgrade task can be found in S402 and will not be repeated here.

[0102] In this embodiment, after the electronic device upgrades the firmware of the device, it can update the power state to the requested power state according to the state update task, so as to achieve the purpose of updating the power state of the operating system to the requested power state according to the power operation request.

[0103] Optionally, before performing a firmware upgrade on a device according to the firmware, the electronic device may also update the second state in the upgrade task to a third state, where the third state is used to indicate the start of the firmware upgrade for the device; after performing a firmware upgrade on the device according to the firmware, the electronic device may also update the third state in the upgrade task to a fourth state, where the fourth state is used to indicate that the firmware upgrade for the device has been completed. In this way, the electronic device may determine whether the firmware upgrade task for the device is completed based on the state in the upgrade task, and may execute the state update task if it is determined that the firmware upgrade task for the device has been completed. The above method can avoid changing the power state of the operating system during the firmware upgrade process, thereby increasing the reliability of the firmware upgrade.

[0104] In the firmware upgrade method provided in this embodiment, an electronic device can upgrade the firmware of a device based on an upgrade task and a power operation request. This method is applicable to multiple devices in a server, eliminating the need to develop separate firmware upgrade methods for different devices. This improves firmware upgrade efficiency and reduces the cost of firmware upgrades.

[0105] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, a firmware upgrade request processing module, a power control module, a firmware upgrade module, and a storage module can be set in the electronic device. Specifically, a firmware upgrade request processing module, a power control module, a firmware upgrade module, and a storage module can be set on the controller of the electronic device.
