AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, when the hardware configuration instruction set needs to be changed, the BIOS device needs to be re-burned or flashed, which is inconvenient and time-consuming, especially during hardware testing where repeated operations are particularly time-consuming.

Method used

By recording the hardware configuration instruction set in the BIOS variable storage space and dynamically writing it into the hardware device's cache via BIOS code, the hardware configuration instructions can be updated directly without re-flashing the BIOS device.

Benefits of technology

It enables independent updating of hardware configuration commands while the system is running, saving hardware testing time and improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

Abstract

This invention provides a method and electronic device for dynamically adjusting hardware configuration instructions. The method is applicable to electronic devices including a Basic Input / Output System (BIOS) device and hardware devices. The method includes the following steps: generating a binary raw data file based on a hardware configuration instruction set of the hardware device, wherein the hardware configuration instruction set includes at least one hardware configuration instruction; writing the binary raw data file to the BIOS variable storage space of the BIOS device; reading the hardware configuration instructions from the binary raw data file from the BIOS variable storage space by executing BIOS code; and writing the hardware configuration instructions read from the BIOS variable storage space into the buffer of the hardware device by executing BIOS code. Therefore, the hardware configuration instructions required by the hardware device can be updated independently without re-flashing the BIOS device.
