[0002] When writing BIOS user manuals for server projects, Basic Input Output System (BIOS) engineers often use the screenshot function of the Baseboard Management Controller Web (BMC Web) to capture the BIOS setup process step-by-step while operating the BIOS setup. However, when users, customer service personnel, or testers find a screenshot of a specific sub-function in the BIOS setup within the user manual, they often cannot clearly see the path to that sub-function and need to consult the manual or ask a BIOS engineer for instructions on how to navigate to that sub-function page.

Thus, by introducing the identifier of the configuration page in the BIOS SETUP, a one-to-one correspondence is established between the BIOS SETUP page and the identifier of the configuration page in the BIOS SETUP. By modifying the identifiers of configuration pages in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface (BIOS) using external IPMI commands, the BIOS can switch the underlying logic of the BIOS SETUP interface based on these identifiers. Combined with script commands and existing BMC functions, this allows for the batch creation of BIOS SETUP page screenshots, ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between the images and identifiers. This facilitates the creation of user manuals and enables engineers using the manuals to quickly access the corresponding pages, improving work efficiency and reducing manpower and time costs.

[0097] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure 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 disclosure, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0098] In the following description, references are made to “some embodiments,” which describe a subset of all possible embodiments. However, it is understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0099] In the following description, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of objects. It is understood that "first" and "second" may be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of this disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0100] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this disclosure have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this disclosure only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure.

[0101] It should be understood that in the various embodiments of this disclosure, the sequence number of each implementation process does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0102] The BIOS setup settings are divided into several core categories to meet the needs of different user levels:

[0103] 1. Main: This section primarily displays basic information about the BIOS firmware version, including the version number and release date. It also provides functions for adjusting the BIOS internal clock (RTC) to ensure accurate system time. Furthermore, users can set the display language of the BIOS SETUP interface here to suit personal preferences or work environment needs.

[0104] 2. Advanced: This category provides in-depth information on key equipment in servers or personal computers, including but not limited to detailed specifications such as CPU model, number of cores, and clock speed; memory size, speed, and channel configuration; and detailed information on installed PCIe devices (such as graphics cards and network cards). Furthermore, advanced settings allow users to configure specific BIOS functions, such as serial communication parameters, power management policies (e.g., ACPI settings), hard drive bonding technologies (e.g., RAID configuration), and CPU-related interface settings (e.g., enabling / disabling virtualization technology), thereby achieving fine-tuning of system performance and compatibility.

[0105] 3. Security: The security category focuses on enhancing system protection, providing options for setting BIOS administrator and user passwords to effectively prevent unauthorized access. It also supports Secure Boot, which verifies the digital signature of the boot loader to ensure the system is protected from malware during startup, maintaining system integrity and security.

[0106] 4. Boot: This category focuses on managing the boot process. Users can modify the boot mode (such as UEFI or Legacy mode), set the priority order of boot devices, and configure options such as Fast Boot to optimize system boot speed or meet specific boot requirements.

[0107] 5. Save & Exit: This category provides a mechanism to save BIOS configuration changes, ensuring all changes take effect after a reboot. Additionally, users can choose to directly update the BIOS firmware to the latest version to resolve known issues or improve system performance. Finally, the Save & Exit category also includes Restart and Shutdown options, allowing users to safely restart or shut down the system after completing their settings.

[0108] BIOS setup encompasses many important functions. When releasing BIOS firmware versions, BIOS engineers often include a BIOS user manual, which serves as a user guide for the BIOS firmware. The BIOS user manual includes screenshots of each page of the BIOS setup and a brief introduction to the corresponding options, aiming to help users quickly get started and deeply understand the various functions and settings within the BIOS setup. The BMC (Browser Control Center) has a screenshot function, which primarily relies on the integrated graphics functionality of the BMC chip. The BMC captures the graphics card's display output, processes and saves it, and then uploads the saved image to the BMC web interface for users to download. Compared to taking a picture of a server monitor, BMC screenshots via the network are more convenient and clearer.

[0109] In the past, when BIOS engineers wrote BIOS user manuals for server projects, they would use the screenshot function of the BMC WEB to capture the configuration page displayed in the BIOS SETUP while operating the BIOS SETUP. However, when users, customer service personnel, or testers found a screenshot of a specific sub-function (i.e., the configuration page image) in the user manual, they often couldn't intuitively see the access path to that sub-function and needed to consult the user manual or ask the BIOS engineer how to navigate to that sub-function page step by step.

[0110] In view of the deficiencies existing in the related technologies, this disclosure provides a data processing method to solve some or all of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0111] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a first alternative flow of the data processing method provided in this disclosure is shown, and the steps will be described accordingly.

[0112] Step S101: Determine the screenshot information.

[0113] In some embodiments, the client determines screenshot information based on an external device. The screenshot information includes the identifier of at least one configuration page in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface. Specifically, the screenshot information may include the identifiers of all configuration pages in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface, or it may include the identifier of any configuration page in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface.

[0114] The client can be a personal computer (PC); external devices include mice, keyboards, touchpads, etc., connected to the client.

[0115] Step S102: Send a screenshot command including the screenshot information to the baseboard management controller.

[0116] In some embodiments, the client sends a screenshot command to the BMC so that the baseboard management controller can obtain at least one image of the basic input / output system configuration interface corresponding to the screenshot information.

[0117] In some optional embodiments, after receiving the screenshot command, the BMC transmits the screenshot information included in the screenshot command to the BIOS, causing the BIOS to switch the BIOS SETUP configuration page to the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot information. Then, the BMC acquires and stores the image of the configuration page. Each BIOS SETUP configuration page corresponds to a unique identifier (and the identifier of the configuration page).

[0118] In step S103, in response to receiving a screenshot execution command sent by the baseboard management controller, the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command is obtained from the baseboard management controller, and the image of the configuration page and the identifier of the configuration page are stored.

[0119] In some embodiments, after the BMC obtains the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot information, it sends a screenshot execution command to the client, informing the client that the image of the configuration page has been obtained; the client obtains the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command from the baseboard management controller, and stores the image of the configuration page and the identifier of the configuration page.

[0120] In some embodiments, when editing the BIOS SETUP user manual, the corresponding configuration page identifier can be marked in the image of the configuration page to quickly locate the corresponding configuration page in the BIOS SETUP.

[0121] Thus, through the data processing method provided in this embodiment, by modifying the identifier of the configuration page in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface (BIOS) using external IPMI commands, the BIOS switches the underlying logic of the BIOS SETUP interface based on the identifier of the configuration page in the BIOS SETUP interface. Combined with script commands and existing BMC functions, the application of BIOS SETUP page screenshots is completed in batches, and the obtained images correspond one-to-one with the identifiers. This facilitates the creation of user manuals and also allows engineers using the user manuals to quickly access the corresponding pages, improving work efficiency and reducing manpower and time costs.

[0122] Figure 2 A second alternative flowchart of the data processing method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown, and will be described according to each step.

[0123] Step S201: Set up the script program.

[0124] In some embodiments, the client sets up a script program for receiving screenshot information transmitted by the client and for obtaining the image and identifier of the configuration page; optionally, the client implements the data processing method based on the script program.

[0125] In some embodiments, the command line window in the running client is switched to the directory where the script program is located, so that the command line window can recognize and run the script program.

[0126] In practice, the command line window is launched on the client's system. If the system is a Windows system, the Run window can be launched by simultaneously pressing the Win key and the R key. Then, after entering the preset command, the command line window is launched. The preset command can be "cmd".

[0127] In practice, after running `cd full path` in the command line window, you can change the directory of the command line window, such as "cd C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Scripts".

[0128] In some embodiments, in response to the client and the baseboard management controller being on the same subnet, the client determines the interaction information used by the script program to establish interaction with the baseboard management controller; the interaction information includes at least one of the baseboard management controller's Internet Protocol and login information.

[0129] In step S202, the client establishes a connection with the baseboard management controller based on the interactive information.

[0130] In some embodiments, the script program obtains the interaction information and references the interaction information during the process of establishing a connection between the client and the BMC through the IPMI tool, thereby realizing the establishment of a connection between the client and the BMC.

[0131] Step S203: Set the BIOS SETUP boot priority.

[0132] In some embodiments, the client sends a first instruction to the baseboard management controller via the script program, causing the baseboard management controller to transmit the first instruction to the basic input / output system via the intelligent platform management interface. The first instruction is used to instruct the startup priority of the basic input / output system configuration interface to be set to a preset priority. This allows for quick access to the BIOS SETUP to perform subsequent operations after a server restart, reducing user waiting time. The server is the server corresponding to the BIOS.

[0133] In some embodiments, the script program sends a second instruction to the baseboard management controller to cause the baseboard management controller to restart the server. After the server restarts, the BIOS enters BIOS SETUP to perform subsequent operations.

[0134] Step S204: Determine the screenshot information.

[0135] In some embodiments, the client obtains screenshot information through an external device, the screenshot information including the identifier of at least one configuration page in BIOSSETUP; the screenshot information is the identifier of the image of the configuration page that needs to be obtained.

[0136] Step S205: Send a screenshot instruction including the screenshot information to the baseboard management controller so that the baseboard management controller can obtain at least one image of the basic input / output system configuration interface corresponding to the screenshot information.

[0137] In some embodiments, the client sends a screenshot command to the BMC via a script, instructing the BMC to obtain at least one image of the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface corresponding to the screenshot information.

[0138] In practice, the script can send a screenshot command that includes the identifier of a configuration page each time. After the BMC obtains the image corresponding to the identifier of the configuration page, the script sends the identifier of the next configuration page whose image needs to be obtained to the BMC.

[0139] Specifically, the script program sends a screenshot instruction including first screenshot information to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller can obtain an image of the configuration page corresponding to the identifier of the configuration page included in the first screenshot information; in response to receiving a first screenshot execution instruction sent by the baseboard management controller based on the first screenshot information, the script program sends a screenshot instruction including second screenshot information to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller can obtain an image of the configuration page corresponding to the identifier of the configuration page included in the second screenshot information; until all images of the configuration pages corresponding to the screenshot instructions are obtained, the screenshot instruction is determined to be executed.

[0140] Alternatively, in a specific implementation, the script program can send a screenshot command to the BMC, including the identifiers of all configuration pages, and the BMC can obtain the images corresponding to the identifiers of all configuration pages.

[0141] Step S206: In response to receiving a screenshot execution command sent by the baseboard management controller, obtain the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command from the baseboard management controller, and store the image of the configuration page and the identifier of the configuration page.

[0142] In some embodiments, if the script program sends a screenshot command that includes the identifier of a configuration page each time, the baseboard management controller can send a screenshot execution command to the client after acquiring the corresponding image. After receiving the screenshot execution command, the client obtains the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command from the baseboard management controller and stores the image of the configuration page and the identifier of the configuration page. Alternatively, the baseboard management controller can send a screenshot execution command to the client after acquiring all images. After receiving the screenshot execution command, the client obtains the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command from the baseboard management controller and stores the image of the configuration page and the identifier of the configuration page.

[0143] In some embodiments, the identifier of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command is determined; the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command is obtained using the download interface of the baseboard management controller webpage; and the image of the configuration page and the identifier of the configuration page are stored in the directory corresponding to the user manual.

[0144] The image of the configuration page is used to identify the user manual corresponding to the basic input / output system configuration interface; the identifier of the configuration page is used to locate the configuration page; thus, when writing the user manual, the image of the configuration page in the BIOS SETUP can be associated with the identifier of the configuration page, making it convenient for engineers reading the user manual to quickly locate the target configuration page in the BIOS SETUP.

[0145] Step S207: Restore BIOS SETUP boot priority settings.

[0146] In some embodiments, after the client obtains the images corresponding to all screenshot information based on the BMC, it sets the boot priority of BIOSSETUP to the default priority so that the subsequent servers can boot in the default boot order.

[0147] In specific implementation, the client sends a termination command to the baseboard management controller via a script program, so that the baseboard management controller transmits a recovery command to the basic input / output system based on the intelligent platform management interface. The recovery command is used to instruct the startup priority of the basic input / output system configuration interface to be set to the default priority.

[0148] Thus, through the data processing method provided in this embodiment, by modifying the identifier of the configuration page in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface (BIOS) using external IPMI commands, the BIOS switches the underlying logic of the BIOS SETUP interface based on the identifier of the configuration page in the BIOS SETUP interface. Combined with script commands and existing BMC functions, the application of BIOS SETUP page screenshots is completed in batches, and the obtained images correspond one-to-one with the identifiers. This facilitates the creation of user manuals and also allows engineers using the user manuals to quickly access the corresponding pages, improving work efficiency and reducing manpower and time costs.

[0149] Figure 3 A third alternative flowchart of the data processing method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown, and will be described according to each step.

[0150] Step S301: In response to receiving the first handover instruction, a second handover instruction is determined based on the identifier of the target configuration page carried in the first handover instruction.

[0151] In some embodiments, the client receives a first switching instruction based on an external device; the first switching instruction includes an identifier of the target configuration page for BIOS SETUP.

[0152] In some embodiments, the client determines the second switching instruction based on the identifier of the target configuration page carried in the first switching instruction.

[0153] Step S302: Send the second switching command to the baseboard management controller.

[0154] In some embodiments, the client sends the second switching instruction to the BMC, so that the baseboard management controller stores the identifier of the target configuration page carried in the second switching instruction in the memory, and the basic input / output system obtains the identifier of the target configuration page from the memory and switches the basic input / output system configuration interface to the page corresponding to the identifier of the target configuration page.

[0155] Thus, using the method described in this embodiment, when using BIOS SETUP, the current configuration page of BIOS SETUP can be switched to the target configuration page based on the identifier of the target configuration page. Specifically, after the user sends the identifier of the target configuration page to the client via an external device, the client determines and sends a second switching command to the BMC. The BMC stores the second switching command and, when the BIOS requests the identifier of the configuration page, transmits the identifier of the target configuration page to the BIOS. The BIOS then switches the current configuration page of BIOS SETUP to the target configuration page based on the identifier of the target configuration page, achieving rapid location of the BIOS SETUP configuration page.

[0156] Figure 4 A fourth optional flowchart of the data processing method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown, and will be described according to each step.

[0157] Step S401: Obtain the screenshot command sent by the client.

[0158] In some embodiments, the BMC obtains a screenshot command sent by the client, the screenshot command including screenshot information, the screenshot information including the identifier of at least one configuration page in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface.

[0159] Step S402: Store the identifier of at least one configuration page corresponding to the screenshot command.

[0160] In some embodiments, the BMC may store the identifier of the at least one configuration page in any memory of the BMC. When the BIOS obtains the identifier of the at least one configuration page through the IPMI instruction, it transmits the identifier of the at least one configuration page to the BIOS and switches the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface to the configuration page.

[0161] Step S403: In response to the basic input / output system obtaining the identifier of the at least one configuration page, obtain the image of the configuration page based on the basic input / output system.

[0162] In some embodiments, in response to the BIOS obtaining the identifier of the at least one configuration page from the memory, and confirming that the BIOS SETUP has switched to the configuration page corresponding to the identifier of the configuration page, the BMC calls its own function to obtain the image of the configuration page currently displayed by the BIOS SETUP.

[0163] Step S404: Send a screenshot execution command to the client so that the client can obtain the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command.

[0164] In some embodiments, after BMC obtains the image of the configuration page, it sends a screenshot execution command to the client so that the client obtains the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command.

[0165] Thus, through the data processing method provided in this embodiment, by modifying the identifier of the configuration page in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface (BIOS) using external IPMI commands, the BIOS switches the underlying logic of the BIOS SETUP interface based on the identifier of the configuration page in the BIOS SETUP interface. Combined with script commands and existing BMC functions, the application of BIOS SETUP page screenshots is completed in batches, and the obtained images correspond one-to-one with the identifiers. This facilitates the creation of user manuals and also allows engineers using the user manuals to quickly access the corresponding pages, improving work efficiency and reducing manpower and time costs.

[0166] Figure 5 A fifth alternative flowchart of the data processing method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown, and will be described according to each step.

[0167] Step S501: The BMC establishes a connection with the client.

[0168] In some embodiments, the BMC and the client are on the same subnet and establish a connection with the client via IPMI tools and interactive information. The interactive information includes at least one of the baseboard management controller's Internet Protocol (IP) information and login information.

[0169] Step S502: In response to receiving the first instruction information sent by the client, the first instruction information is transmitted to the basic input / output system based on the intelligent platform management interface.

[0170] In some embodiments, the first indication information is used to indicate that the startup priority of the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface is set to a preset priority. The preset priority can be the highest priority.

[0171] Step S503: Restart the server based on the second instruction information sent by the client.

[0172] In some embodiments, the BMC sends a first instruction to the BIOS. After the BIOS sets the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface to a preset priority based on the first instruction, the BMC restarts the server based on a second instruction. During the server restart process, the BMC enters the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface according to the preset priority.

[0173] Step S504: Obtain the image corresponding to the screenshot command based on the screenshot command transmitted by the client, and send the screenshot execution command to the client.

[0174] The specific steps of step S504 are the same as those of steps S401 to S404, and will not be repeated here.

[0175] In step S505, in response to receiving the termination command sent by the client, a recovery command is transmitted to the basic input / output system based on the intelligent platform management interface.

[0176] In some embodiments, the end command is used to indicate that the screenshot is complete, or that the image of the BIOS SETUP configuration page corresponding to all screenshot information has been obtained. The BMC transmits a recovery command to the BIOS system based on IPMI. The command is used to instruct the startup priority of the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface to be set to the default priority.

[0177] Thus, through the data processing method provided in this embodiment, by modifying the identifier of the configuration page in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface (BIOS) using external IPMI commands, the BIOS switches the underlying logic of the BIOS SETUP interface based on the identifier of the configuration page in the BIOS SETUP interface. Combined with script commands and existing BMC functions, the application of BIOS SETUP page screenshots is completed in batches, and the obtained images correspond one-to-one with the identifiers. This facilitates the creation of user manuals and also allows engineers using the user manuals to quickly access the corresponding pages, improving work efficiency and reducing manpower and time costs.

[0178] Figure 6 A sixth alternative flowchart of the data processing method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown, and the steps will be described accordingly.

[0179] Step S601: Receive the second switching instruction sent by the client.

[0180] In some embodiments, the BMC receives a second switching instruction sent by the client and stores the identifier of the target configuration page carried in the second switching instruction in the memory, so that after the basic input / output system obtains the identifier of the target configuration page from the memory, it switches the basic input / output system configuration interface to the page corresponding to the identifier of the target configuration page.

[0181] In some embodiments, the BIOS can obtain the identifier of the target configuration page from the BMC's memory via the IPMI command and switch the current configuration page of the BIOS SETUP to the target configuration page.

[0182] In some embodiments, the BIOS and BMC interact via IPMI commands. IPMI, as an intelligent platform management interface, provides a unified communication standard and protocol, enabling efficient communication and collaboration between different hardware and software components. In IPMI communication, the BMC, as the server, does not actively initiate communication but passively receives and responds; the BIOS, as the host, can actively send or passively receive IPMI commands. Within the BIOS code, a variable can be defined that is associated with the currently displayed BIOS SETUP configuration page—that is, the identifier of the configuration page, or represented by a page value. During BIOS SETUP operations, the PageValue in the BIOS code changes each time a configuration page is switched, corresponding to the currently displayed configuration page, ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between the PageValue and the BIOS SETUP page. The BIOS and BMC interact via IPMI. When entering BIOS SETUP, the BIOS sends the Page Value of the initial BIOS SETUP configuration page to the BMC. When the BIOS program responds to a page switching command, it triggers a corresponding callback function. The Page Value of the page to be switched can be added to the callback function where a page switch is required. When exiting BIOS SETUP, the BIOS also sends the relevant IPMI command to the BMC. The BMC then clears its stored Page Value, ensuring that the Page Value received by the BMC corresponds to the actual BIOS SETUP configuration. Therefore, combining IPMI and Page Value to implement certain logical applications is a feasible approach.

[0183] Thus, using the method described in this embodiment, when using BIOS SETUP, the current configuration page of BIOS SETUP can be switched to the target configuration page based on the identifier of the target configuration page. Specifically, after the user sends the identifier of the target configuration page to the client via an external device, the client determines and sends a second switching command to the BMC. The BMC stores the second switching command and, when the BIOS requests the identifier of the configuration page, transmits the identifier of the target configuration page to the BIOS. The BIOS then switches the current configuration page of BIOS SETUP to the target configuration page based on the identifier of the target configuration page, achieving rapid location of the BIOS SETUP configuration page.

[0184] Figure 7 A seventh alternative flowchart of the data processing method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown, and the steps will be described accordingly.

[0185] Step S701: In response to server startup, the first interface of the basic input / output system is entered.

[0186] In some embodiments, the BIOS POST interface is entered in response to server startup.

[0187] Step S702: Based on the startup priority of the input / output system configuration interface, enter the basic input / output system configuration interface from the first interface.

[0188] In some embodiments, the boot priority of the BIOS SETUP is set to a preset priority, and then the BIOS SETUP is entered from the POST interface.

[0189] Step S703: Obtain the identifier of at least one configuration page from the memory of the baseboard management controller, and switch the basic input / output system configuration interface to the configuration page.

[0190] In some embodiments, the BIOS may periodically retrieve the identifier of a configuration page from the baseboard management controller's memory based on IPMI, and switch the BIOS SETUP from the current configuration page to the configuration page corresponding to the identifier.

[0191] Thus, through the data processing method provided in this embodiment, by modifying the identifier of the configuration page in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface (BIOS) via an external IPMI command, the BIOS switches the BIOS SETUP interface based on the identifier of the configuration page in the BIOS SETUP, thereby quickly locating the target configuration page in the BIOS SETUP. When applied to scenarios involving capturing BIOS SETUP images, it can quickly locate the target configuration page to obtain the image, improving screenshot efficiency; when applied to using user manuals or user application achievements, it can quickly locate the configuration page required by the user, improving work efficiency.

[0192] Figure 8 An eighth alternative flowchart of the data processing method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown, and will be described according to each step.

[0193] Step S801: Receive the first instruction information transmitted by the substrate management controller.

[0194] In some embodiments, the BIOS receives a first indication and sets the boot priority of BIOSSETUP to a preset priority based on the first indication.

[0195] In some embodiments, the BMC controls the server to restart. During the server restart process, it enters the first interface and enters the BIOS SETUP based on the boot priority of the BIOS SETUP.

[0196] Step S802: Obtain the identifier of at least one configuration page from the memory of the baseboard management controller, and switch the basic input / output system configuration interface to the configuration page.

[0197] In some embodiments, the BIOS may periodically retrieve the identifier of a configuration page from the baseboard management controller's memory based on IPMI, and switch the BIOS SETUP from the current configuration page to the configuration page corresponding to the identifier.

[0198] The identifier of the at least one configuration page may be the identifier of the at least one configuration page included in the screenshot information, used to obtain the image required for editing the user manual; or it may be the identifier of the target configuration page included in the second switching instruction, used to switch the basic input / output system configuration interface to the page corresponding to the identifier of the target configuration page.

[0199] Step S803: Receive the recovery command transmitted by the substrate management controller.

[0200] In some embodiments, the BIOS receives a recovery command transmitted by the baseboard management controller and sets the startup priority of the basic input / output system configuration interface to the default priority based on the recovery command.

[0201] Thus, through the data processing method provided in this embodiment, by modifying the identifier of the configuration page in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface (BIOS) via an external IPMI command, the BIOS switches the BIOS SETUP interface based on the identifier of the configuration page in the BIOS SETUP, thereby quickly locating the target configuration page in the BIOS SETUP. When applied to scenarios involving capturing BIOS SETUP images, it can quickly locate the target configuration page to obtain the image, improving screenshot efficiency; when applied to using user manuals or user application achievements, it can quickly locate the configuration page required by the user, improving work efficiency.

[0202] Figure 9 A ninth alternative flowchart of the data processing method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown, and will be described according to each step.

[0203] Step S901: The client confirms the screenshot information.

[0204] In step S902, the client sends a screenshot command, including the screenshot information, to the baseboard management controller.

[0205] Step S903: The baseboard management controller stores the identifier of at least one configuration page corresponding to the screenshot command.

[0206] In step S904, the basic input / output system retrieves the identifier of at least one configuration page from the memory of the baseboard management controller.

[0207] In some embodiments, the BIOS switches the Basic Input / Output System Configuration interface to the configuration page.

[0208] In step S905, the baseboard management controller obtains the image corresponding to the configuration page and sends a screenshot execution command to the client.

[0209] Step S906: The client obtains an image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command from the baseboard management controller.

[0210] In some embodiments, the client is used to receive screenshot information, transmit the screenshot information to the BIOS via the BMC, and obtain the image corresponding to the screenshot information, and store the image and corresponding identifier; the BIOS is used to switch to the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot information based on the screenshot information; the BMC is used to transmit information between the client and the BIOS, and obtain the image of the BIOS SETUP configuration page, and transmit the image to the client.

[0211] In this way, by modifying the identifiers of the configuration pages in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface (BIOS) through external IPMI commands, the BIOS can switch the underlying logic of the BIOS SETUP interface based on the identifiers of the configuration pages in the BIOS SETUP interface. Combined with script commands and existing BMC functions, the application of BIOS SETUP page screenshots can be completed in batches, and the obtained images correspond one-to-one with the identifiers. This facilitates the creation of user manuals and also allows engineers using the user manuals to quickly access the corresponding pages, improving work efficiency and reducing manpower and time costs.

[0212] Figure 10 A tenth alternative flowchart of the data processing method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown, and the steps will be described accordingly.

[0213] Step S1001: Set up the client-side script program.

[0214] In step S1002, the client establishes a connection with the BMC based on the interaction information.

[0215] In some embodiments, the script program obtains the interaction information and references the interaction information during the process of establishing a connection between the client and the BMC through the IPMI tool, thereby realizing the establishment of a connection between the client and the BMC.

[0216] Step S1003: The client confirms the screenshot information.

[0217] In step S1004, the client sends the first instruction information to the BMC through the script program.

[0218] In step S1005, the BMC transmits the first indication information to the BIOS based on IPMI.

[0219] Step S1006: Based on the first indication information, set the boot priority of BIOS SETUP to a preset priority.

[0220] In step S1007, the client sends a second instruction message to the BMC via a script program.

[0221] Step S1008: Restart the server based on the second instruction information sent by the client.

[0222] Step S1009: Enter BIOS SETUP based on the boot priority of BIOS SETUP.

[0223] In some embodiments, the BMC controls the server to restart. During the server restart process, it enters the first interface and enters the BIOS SETUP based on the boot priority of the BIOS SETUP.

[0224] Step S1010: The client sends a screenshot command, including the screenshot information, to the BMC.

[0225] Step S1011: The BMC stores the identifier of at least one configuration page corresponding to the screenshot command.

[0226] In step S1012, the BIOS obtains the identifier of at least one configuration page from the BMC's memory.

[0227] In step S1013, BMC obtains the image corresponding to the configuration page and sends a screenshot execution command to the client.

[0228] Step S1014: The client obtains the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command from the BMC, and stores the image of the configuration page and the identifier of the configuration page.

[0229] In step S1015, the client sends a termination command to the BMC.

[0230] In step S1016, the BMC transmits a recovery command to the BIOS based on the intelligent platform management interface.

[0231] In some embodiments, in response to the BMC receiving a termination command, a recovery command is transmitted to the BIOS, so that the BIOS adjusts the boot priority of the BIOS SETUP from a preset priority to a default priority based on the recovery command.

[0232] Step S1017: Adjust the boot priority of BIOS SETUP.

[0233] In step S1018, the client sends a third instruction message to the BMC via a script program.

[0234] In step S1019, the BMC restarts the server based on the third instruction information sent by the client.

[0235] In this way, by modifying the identifiers of the configuration pages in the Basic Input / Output System Configuration Interface (BIOS) through external IPMI commands, the BIOS can switch the underlying logic of the BIOS SETUP interface based on the identifiers of the configuration pages in the BIOS SETUP interface. Combined with script commands and existing BMC functions, the application of BIOS SETUP page screenshots can be completed in batches, and the obtained images correspond one-to-one with the identifiers. This facilitates the creation of user manuals and also allows engineers using the user manuals to quickly access the corresponding pages, improving work efficiency and reducing manpower and time costs.

[0236] Figure 11 An eleventh optional flowchart of the data processing method provided in this disclosure embodiment is shown, and will be described in terms of each part.

[0237] Step S1101: Run the script program on the client.

[0238] In some embodiments, the script is typically a Python program, which needs to be run in cmd under Windows.

[0239] In practice, ensure the client and the BMC (Browser Control Center) to be connected are on the same subnet. Interacting with the BMC using the IPMI tool requires the personal computer and BMC to be on the same subnet; otherwise, interaction is impossible. Configure the interaction information used by the script. This information includes the BMC's IP address, username, and password—the necessary input for the IPMI tool to interact with the BMC. Run the command-line window on your system. For example, on Windows, press Win+R to open the Run window, then type cmd and press Enter to open the command-line window. Navigate the command-line window to the directory where the script is located. For example, on Windows, run `cd full path` in the command-line window to change directories, for example, `cd C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Scripts`.

[0240] Run automated scripts. For example, on Windows, simply run the script by its filename.

[0241] Step S1102: The script program interacts with the BMC.

[0242] In some embodiments, the script program directly calls the IPMI tool to interact with the server BMC.

[0243] In practice, the script first reads the interaction information. It reads the interaction information written to a specific location in the configuration file and references this information when using the IPMI tool later. The script then initiates a communication handshake with the BMC. It determines whether the interaction with the BMC is successful by running the IPMI tool. Once the script confirms a successful handshake with the BMC, it verifies the screenshot information. The script outputs the screenshot information to be confirmed in the command-line window, such as the range of configuration pages to be captured, whether to capture all screenshots (i.e., all configuration pages of the BIOS SETUP), or only a specific configuration page. This confirmation can be based on information received from an external device, such as 'A' representing all screenshots or the identifier of a specific configuration page.

[0244] The script program sends a screenshot command, including the screenshot information, to the BMC. Upon receiving this command, the BMC prepares to take a screenshot. The screenshot command is an IPMI command. The script program sends a first instruction to the BMC, which includes an IPMI command to set the BIOS SETUP as the highest boot priority and to be effective only once. The script program sends a second instruction to the BMC, which includes a server restart IPMI command. The script program then enters a waiting state.

[0245] In step S1103, the BMC interacts with the BIOS.

[0246] In some embodiments, the BIOS and BMC interact via IPMI commands using the server's own LPC bus.

[0247] In practice, the BMC receives the first instruction from the script program and sends it to the BIOS; the BMC receives the second instruction from the script program and controls the server to restart. Following the first instruction received before the restart, the BIOS actively enters BIOS SETUP after the POST interface.

[0248] Step S1104: BMC captures a screenshot, and the script downloads the BMC screenshot to the client.

[0249] In some embodiments, BMC WEB provides screenshot-related interfaces, and automated scripts can directly call these interfaces to download images.

[0250] In practice, after the BIOS enters BIOS SETUP, it sends the identifier of the initial configuration page of BIOS SETUP to the BMC. Optionally, the BIOS sends the identifier of the initial configuration page based on the IPMI command.

[0251] After receiving the IPMI command to enter BIOS SETUP (which includes the identifier of the initial configuration page), the BMC determines whether it has received a screenshot command from a script. If it has received a screenshot command, the BMC obtains an image of the initial configuration page of BIOS SETUP (i.e., a screenshot) and sends the identifier of the current configuration page (i.e., the identifier of the initial configuration page) back to the client.

[0252] After receiving the IPMI command containing the identifier of the current configuration page, the script calls the screenshot download interface of the BMC WEB to download the screenshot to the corresponding directory of the script. After the download is complete, it sends a screenshot command containing the new screenshot information to the BMC. The BMC then sends a screenshot command containing the new screenshot information to the BIOS and repeats the above steps.

[0253] Once the script determines that all images corresponding to the identifiers included in the screenshot information have been downloaded, it sends a termination command to the BMC. After receiving the termination command, the BMC sends a third instruction to the BIOS, instructing the BIOS to restore the boot priority before the screenshot and restart the server.

[0254] This invention differs from previous methods where engineers switched BIOS SETUP pages or obtained screenshots of the BIOS SETUP interface. Instead, it introduces the concept of BIOS SETUP Page Value. By using commands related to the BIOS SETUP Page Value, a series of operations, including switching the BIOS SETUP interface, are completed. Compared to the traditional BIOS SETUP switching, which involves switching between interfaces one by one using keyboard keys, the operation using BIOS SETUP Page Value is much more convenient. Furthermore, compared to the traditional method of obtaining BIOS SETUP screenshots, which requires manually switching interfaces and taking screenshots one by one, the introduction of the BIOS SETUP Page Value concept, through scripts and other methods, is more convenient and precise, requiring no manual operation and completing the entire process automatically without any other auxiliary equipment or software. This significantly reduces time and labor costs and lowers the barrier to entry. The BIOS SETUP Page Value is implemented in the BIOS firmware code, and the script commands and BMC interactions are all based on the relevant BMC account permissions, ensuring the entire process is secure and reliable.

[0255] Figure 12A schematic diagram of a twelfth alternative flow of the data processing method provided in this disclosure is shown, and the steps will be described accordingly.

[0256] In step S1201, the client sends the first handover instruction to the BMC via IPMI command.

[0257] In some embodiments, the client sends a first switching instruction to the BMC via IPMI commands. Sending IPMI commands can be done in several ways, including: connecting the client directly to the server BMC module via a serial cable, running serial port software on the client, and entering IPMI commands in the serial port software to interact with the BMC; or, setting the client and the BMC to be interacted with in the same network (or subnet), and using the SOL tool to interact with the BMC via IPMI commands based on the BMC IP and login information; or, within the operating system running on the BMC server to be interacted with, communicating with the local BMC via IPMI through the terminal (or command line window) of the operating system, in this scenario the client and server are the same device.

[0258] In step S1202, the BIOS receives the identifier of the target configuration page sent by the BMC via the IPMI command.

[0259] In some embodiments, after receiving the first handover command sent by the client based on IPMI, the BMC randomly stores the identifier of the target configuration page in the first handover command. Here, "randomly" means randomly storing it in any memory corresponding to the BMC. Since the BMC can only act as a server and cannot initiate handover from the host, in this application scenario, the BIOS can periodically request the Page Value from the BMC via IPMI commands in a timer interrupt. After receiving the request command, the BMC reads the stored identifier of the target configuration page and sends it to the BIOS.

[0260] In step S1203, the BIOS switches SETUP SETUP to the corresponding target configuration page.

[0261] In some embodiments, after the BIOS reads the identifier of the target configuration page in a timer interrupt, it runs a page switching program to switch the BIOS SETUP configuration page to the target configuration page.

[0262] Thus, the embodiments disclosed herein differ from the previous BIOS processing logic for BIOS SETUP. Instead, they introduce the concept of an identifier for the BIOSSETU configuration page, which makes it easier for users to accurately locate the page according to the firmware user manual.

[0263] Figure 13A schematic diagram of a first alternative structure of the data processing apparatus provided in an embodiment of this disclosure is shown, and will be described in terms of each part.

[0264] In some embodiments, the data processing apparatus includes a first determining unit, a first sending unit, and a first acquiring unit.

[0265] The first determining unit is used to determine screenshot information; the screenshot information includes the identifier of at least one configuration page in the basic input / output system configuration interface;

[0266] The first sending unit is configured to send a screenshot instruction including the screenshot information to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller can obtain at least one image of the basic input / output system configuration interface corresponding to the screenshot information;

[0267] The first acquisition unit is configured to, in response to receiving a screenshot execution command sent by the baseboard management controller, acquire an image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command from the baseboard management controller, and store the image of the configuration page and the identifier of the configuration page;

[0268] The image on the configuration page is used to identify the user manual corresponding to the basic input / output system configuration interface; the identifier of the configuration page is used to locate the configuration page.

[0269] In some alternative embodiments, the data processing apparatus further includes a configuration unit.

[0270] Before the first determining unit determines the screenshot information, the configuration unit is used to determine the interaction information used by the script program to establish interaction with the baseboard management controller; the interaction information includes at least one of the baseboard management controller's Internet protocol and login information.

[0271] Run a command-line window and switch the directory corresponding to the command-line window to the directory where the script program is located, so that the command-line window can recognize and run the script program.

[0272] The client and the baseboard management controller are located on the same subnet.

[0273] The configuration unit is also used to establish a connection with the baseboard management controller based on the interaction information;

[0274] Send a first instruction message to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller transmits the first instruction message to the basic input / output system via the intelligent platform management interface; the first instruction message is used to instruct the startup priority of the basic input / output system configuration interface to be set to a preset priority;

[0275] Send a second instruction to the baseboard management controller to cause the baseboard management controller to restart the server.

[0276] After obtaining the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution instruction from the baseboard management controller and storing the image of the configuration page and the identifier of the configuration page, the configuration unit is further configured to send an end instruction to the baseboard management controller so that the baseboard management controller transmits a recovery instruction to the basic input / output system based on the intelligent platform management interface. The recovery instruction is used to instruct the startup priority of the basic input / output system configuration interface to be set to the default priority.

[0277] The first sending unit is specifically used to send a screenshot instruction including first screenshot information to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller can obtain an image of the configuration page corresponding to the identifier of the configuration page included in the first screenshot information;

[0278] In response to receiving a first screenshot execution instruction sent by the baseboard management controller based on the first screenshot information, a screenshot instruction including second screenshot information is sent to the baseboard management controller so that the baseboard management controller can obtain an image of the configuration page corresponding to the identifier of the configuration page included in the second screenshot information;

[0279] The screenshot command is considered complete once images of all configuration pages corresponding to it have been retrieved.

[0280] The first acquisition unit is specifically used to determine the identifier of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command;

[0281] Call the download interface of the baseboard management controller webpage to obtain the image of the configuration page corresponding to the screenshot execution command, and store the image of the configuration page and the identifier of the configuration page in the directory corresponding to the user manual.

[0282] The first sending unit is further configured to, in response to receiving the first switching instruction, determine a second switching instruction based on the identifier of the target configuration page carried in the first switching instruction;

[0283] The second switching instruction is sent to the baseboard management controller, so that the baseboard management controller stores the identifier of the target configuration page carried in the second switching instruction in the memory. After the basic input / output system obtains the identifier of the target configuration page from the memory, it switches the basic input / output system configuration interface to the page corresponding to the identifier of the target configuration page.

[0284] Figure 14 A schematic diagram of a second alternative structure of the data processing apparatus provided in an embodiment of this disclosure is shown, and will be described in terms of each part.
