[0046] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0047] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0048] The method embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Taking running on a mobile terminal as an example, Figure 1 is a hardware structure block diagram of a mobile terminal of a startup control method of a server in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the mobile terminal may include one or more (only one is shown in Figure 1) processors 102 (the processor 102 may include but is not limited to a microprocessor MCU or a field programmable gate array (Field Programmable Gate Array, referred to as FPGA) and a memory 104 configured to store data, wherein the above-mentioned mobile terminal may also include a transmission device 106 configured for communication functions and an input and output device 108. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the structure shown in Figure 1 is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the above-mentioned mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal may also include more or fewer components than those shown in Figure 1, or have a configuration different from that shown in Figure 1.

[0049] The memory 104 can be configured to store computer programs, for example, software programs and modules of application software, such as the computer program corresponding to the startup control method of the server in the embodiment of the present application. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 104, that is, implementing the above method. The memory 104 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some instances, the memory 104 may further include a memory remotely located relative to the processor 102, and these remote memories can be connected to the mobile terminal via a network. Examples of the above-mentioned network include but are not limited to the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0050] The transmission device 106 is configured to receive or transmit data via a network. A specific example of the aforementioned network may include a wireless network provided by the mobile terminal's communications provider. In one embodiment, the transmission device 106 includes a network interface controller (NIC), which can be connected to other network devices via a base station to enable communication with the Internet. In another embodiment, the transmission device 106 may be a radio frequency (RF) module configured to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0051] In this embodiment, a server startup control method is provided, which is applied to BIOS. The BIOS is set in the server motherboard. FIG2 is a flow chart of the server startup control method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the process includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S202: During the server startup process, determine N first signals of the mainboard, where the first signal is used to identify the mainboard, and N is a natural number greater than 1;

[0053] Step S204: when N is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, determine a plurality of mainboard configuration information using the N first signals;

[0054] Step S206, determining target motherboard configuration information that matches the target customer's requirements from the plurality of motherboard configuration information, wherein the target customer's requirements are used to indicate the target customer's requirements for motherboard configuration;

[0055] Step S208: Loading BIOS parameters based on the target motherboard configuration information to configure the operation of the server according to the BIOS parameters.

[0056] Through the above steps, since the BIOS determines the N first signals of the motherboard during the server startup process, when the N first signals meet a certain number, the N first signals are used to determine multiple motherboard configuration information, and the target motherboard configuration information that matches the target customer needs is determined from the multiple motherboard configuration information, and the BIOS parameters are loaded according to the target motherboard configuration information to configure the server operation according to the BIOS parameters. This makes it possible to adapt the server through firmware in combination with the unique identification information of the motherboard, and does not require customized development for each server separately, so that one BIOS image supports the startup and use of different types of servers with different processors, thereby improving the availability of the server. Therefore, the problems of high cost and poor server availability in the related technology of configuring servers according to customer needs can be solved, thereby saving the cost of configuring servers and improving the availability of servers.

[0057] Optionally, the motherboard is configured to install the server central processing unit (CPU) and other related components, including processors, memory, graphics cards, storage devices, etc. The motherboard includes multiple slots and interfaces configured to connect these hardware devices. The server CPU is the central processing unit of the server application. It usually has more cores, larger caches and higher frequencies to provide more powerful computing power and faster data processing speeds to meet the server's needs for high-performance computing and multi-tasking. Server CPUs include but are not limited to processors on the Intel platform and processors on the AMD platform.

[0058] Optionally, the BIOS parameters loaded based on the target motherboard configuration information are parameters corresponding to the target motherboard configuration information.

[0059] Optionally, a general purpose input output (GPIO) signal is a digital signal used for data transmission between control and communication devices. It is usually configured as a single-chip microcomputer or embedded system, and is configured to connect various external devices, such as sensors, actuators, LEDs, etc. GPIO signals can be used to input or output digital signals to control the state of the device or receive data from external sensors. The state value of the GPIO signal refers to the digital value used to represent the switch state in the digital circuit. The state value of the GPIO signal can be 0 or 1, indicating a low level and a high level, respectively. The state value of the GPIO signal can represent other states, such as 2, 3, etc.

[0060] Optionally, this embodiment is applicable to server chips of any architecture that have built-in GPIO signals and can be combined for customized use. For example, on Intel platform processors, because the CPU portion has built-in GPIO signals, they can be distinguished based on the GPIO signals during BIOS startup. For example, at least four GPIO signals can be combined to form 16 unique motherboard identification numbers, namely, identification numbers from 0x00 to 0x0F corresponding to multiple motherboard configuration information. The status values ​​of the four GPIO signals can confirm a specific server motherboard.

[0061] Alternatively, the first signal may be a GPIO signal generated by a GPIO, or a signal generated by other signaling devices that uniquely identifies the motherboard. BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) parameters are firmware settings loaded when a computer boots up and are configured to configure and control the computer hardware. BIOS parameters include, but are not limited to, the following information:

[0062] Boot Order: Determines the order of devices to be read when the computer starts, such as hard drive, optical drive, USB devices, etc.

[0063] Hardware configuration: including CPU, memory, hard disk, graphics card and other hardware related settings, such as clock frequency, cache size, transmission mode, etc.

[0064] Security Settings: You can set BIOS password, enable / disable USB ports, enable / disable boot devices and other security-related settings.

[0065] Power Management: Includes sleep mode, energy-saving mode, fan control and other power management-related settings.

[0066] Other settings: also includes date and time settings, virtualization support, device information and other related settings.

[0067] BIOS parameters can be configured and modified by accessing the BIOS setup interface when the computer boots up. Loading the corresponding BIOS parameters and environment variable settings is used to configure and optimize the server system's operating environment to meet specific needs and performance requirements. These settings can adjust the server's hardware and software for better performance, security, and manageability. For example, loading the corresponding BIOS parameters and environment variable settings can achieve the following functions:

[0068] Hardware Configuration: By setting BIOS parameters, you can adjust the server hardware's operating mode, performance parameters, power management, and more to meet the requirements of specific application scenarios. For example, you can adjust CPU frequency, memory speed, and hard disk controller settings.

[0069] System security: Setting environment variables can enhance system security, such as setting password policies, enabling secure boot options, etc., to protect the system from unauthorized access or attacks.

[0070] Environmental monitoring: By setting environmental variables, you can configure the sensor monitoring parameters of the server system, monitor hardware indicators such as temperature, voltage, fan speed in real time, and promptly detect and respond to abnormal system health conditions.

[0071] Power Management: By setting BIOS parameters, you can configure power management policies to achieve energy saving and environmental protection, reducing energy consumption and heat emissions.

[0072] System tuning: Based on specific application requirements, you can tune the system by loading corresponding BIOS parameters and setting environment variables to improve system performance and stability.

[0073] Loading the corresponding BIOS parameters and environment variable settings plays an important role in the performance, security, and stability of the server system. The server can be customized according to actual needs.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, when N is greater than a first preset threshold, multiple motherboard configuration information is determined using N first signals, including: reading the status value of each first signal through the BMC; randomly combining the status values ​​of the N first signals to obtain multiple motherboard configuration information, wherein each motherboard configuration information includes at least a combination of the status values ​​of M first signals, the combination of the status values ​​of the M first signals is a hexadecimal value, M is a natural number less than or equal to N, and M is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold.

[0075] Alternatively, for example, if the CPU in the motherboard has four or more GPIO signals, the BIOS reads the status value of each GPIO when it starts up, and combines them into multiple hexadecimal values ​​according to random rules, such as 0000, 0001, 0010, etc. This embodiment can quickly select target motherboard configuration information that matches the target customer's needs by randomly combining hexadecimal values.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, before loading BIOS parameters based on the target motherboard configuration information to configure the server according to the BIOS parameters, the method further includes storing the target motherboard configuration information in a variable in the BIOS. This facilitates quickly reading the target motherboard configuration information from the variable when the target customer's needs are obtained.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, BIOS parameters are loaded based on the target motherboard configuration information to configure the operation of the server according to the BIOS parameters, including: when the server is in the initialization phase, determining the status values ​​of M first signals included in the target motherboard configuration information, wherein the combination of the status values ​​of the M first signals is a hexadecimal value, M is a natural number less than or equal to N, and M is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold; loading BIOS parameters based on the status values ​​of the M first signals and target customer requirements; and performing initialization operations on the devices in the server using the BIOS parameters. Optionally, the server is in the initialization phase including a memory initialization phase or a PCI initialization phase. The value of M is at least 4. The initialization operation includes at least one of the following: initializing variable information of the memory, initializing variable information of the PCI link, initializing variable information of the BMC, and initializing option variable information of the BIOS. This embodiment performs initialization operations on the devices in the server using BIOS parameters, and can perform settings according to the customer's expected setting requirements, thereby improving the availability of the server.

[0078] In one specific embodiment, when the first signal is a GPIO signal, the hardware structure for determining and loading corresponding BIOS parameters and environment variable settings based on the GPIO signal status value is shown in Figure 3. A server motherboard is provided with a master processor CPU0 and a slave processor CPU1. CPU0 and CPU1 are connected via an interconnect bus. GPIO0, GPIO1, GPIO2, and GPIO3 are provided in both CPU0 and CPU1. Both CPU0 and CPU1 are connected to the BIOS, which reads the status values ​​of GPIO0, GPIO1, GPIO2, and GPIO3 via the protocol bus.

[0079] FIG4 is a schematic diagram of the interaction between devices provided on the server motherboard. FIG5 is a flow chart of the interaction between devices provided on the server motherboard, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0080] S501: The server is powered on and the BIOS reads the status value of the GPIO signal in the motherboard. The status of the GPIO signal of motherboards with different configurations is fixed and non-repeated.

[0081] S502, BIOS confirms the status value of the GPIO signal. As shown in FIG6 , the status values ​​of the four GPIO signals constitute a configuration, which includes a total of eight configuration information.

[0082] S503, during the BIOS option default value setting or BMC interaction phase, first compare the obtained hexadecimal value with the specific customer configuration information to confirm, for example, as shown in FIG6 , select one configuration information that matches customer A's requirements from the eight configuration information;

[0083] S504, saving the determined state value of the GPIO signal that matches the customer information and the configuration information required by the customer to a variable in the BIOS. For example, if the state value of the GPIO signal that matches the configuration information required by the customer is 0111, then 0111 is stored in the variable in the BIOS.

[0084] S505, the memory initializes the memory variable information according to the customer's configuration information;

[0085] S506, the PCI link initializes PCI link variable information according to the client's configuration information;

[0086] S507, the BMC initializes BMC variable information according to the customer's configuration information;

[0087] S508, BIOS initializes BIOS option variable information according to the customer's configuration information;

[0088] S509: After the BIOS information is set, the server continues to start up and enters the operating system or other environment system.

[0089] In an exemplary embodiment, during the server startup process, after determining N first signals of the mainboard, the above method also includes: when N is less than a first preset threshold, or when an abnormality occurs in reading the N first signals, reading the FRU information in the BMC based on the IPMI protocol, wherein the FRU information includes information of the target customer and / or device information in the server; loading BIOS parameters based on the FRU information to configure the server operation according to the BIOS parameters.

[0090] Optionally, this embodiment is applicable to ARM architecture servers. When the BIOS is started because the number of first GPIO signals provided by the CPU is insufficient or the status value of the GPIO first signal cannot be obtained, the FRU information will be used to confirm which server motherboard and configuration the current server corresponds to. That is, if N is less than the first preset threshold, it means that there is no GPIO first signal in the motherboard, or the number of GPIO first signals is less than 4. Abnormalities in reading N GPIO first signals include the absence of GPIO first signals in the motherboard, or the number of GPIO first signals is less than 4, and insufficient status values ​​of the GPIO first signals cannot be read.

[0091] Optionally, FRU information includes, but is not limited to: hard drive: model, capacity, and interface type; memory module: model, capacity, and speed; battery: model and capacity; power supply: model and power; display: model and resolution; CPU: model and frequency; fan: model and size; motherboard: model and interface type; network card: model and interface type; and printer ink cartridge: model and color. This information can help users quickly find suitable replacement parts when they need them.

[0092] Optionally, BIOS parameters are loaded based on the FRU information to configure the operation of the server according to the BIOS parameters, including: when the FRU information includes information of the target customer, determining the first motherboard configuration information corresponding to the target customer information; and loading BIOS parameters based on the first motherboard configuration information to configure the operation of the server according to the BIOS parameters.

[0093] Optionally, BIOS parameters are loaded based on the FRU information to configure the operation of the server according to the BIOS parameters, including: when the FRU information includes the target customer's information and the device information in the server, determining the second mainboard configuration information corresponding to the target customer's information; and loading the BIOS parameters based on the second mainboard configuration information to configure the operation of the server according to the BIOS parameters.

[0094] Optionally, BIOS parameters are loaded based on the FRU information to configure the operation of the server according to the BIOS parameters, including: when the FRU information includes device information in the server, or when the FRU information is empty, determining the third motherboard configuration information corresponding to the target customer's information, wherein the third motherboard configuration information is the default parameters set when the BIOS is started; loading the BIOS parameters based on the third motherboard configuration information to configure the operation of the server according to the BIOS parameters.

[0095] This embodiment loads BIOS parameters through FRU information, and can quickly determine the configuration information required by the customer when the status value of the first signal cannot be read, thereby improving the availability of the server.

[0096] In a specific embodiment, the hardware structure for determining and loading the corresponding BIOS parameters and environment variable settings through FRU information is shown in FIG7 . A main processor CPU0 and a slave processor CPU1 are provided in the server motherboard. CPU0 and CPU1 are connected via an interconnection bus, and both CPU0 and CPU1 are connected to the BMC and BIOS.

[0099] S902, BIOS interacts with BMC through IPMI protocol to read FRU information, the FRU information is shown in Figure 10;

[0100] S903, BIOS determines whether the customer information and device information of the read FRU information are empty;

[0101] S904, BIOS determines that the client information is not empty and determines whether the device information is empty;

[0102] S905: The BIOS determines that the client information is not empty, and if the device information is empty, the BIOS loads the default configuration information (i.e., the default parameters when the BIOS is started) according to the client information.

[0103] S906: If the BIOS determines that the customer information is not empty and the device information is not empty, the process goes to S907.

[0104] S907, BIOS loads specific configuration information (i.e., second motherboard configuration information) according to the customer information, and goes to S910;

[0105] S908, if the BIOS determines that the customer information is empty and the device information is not empty, it goes to S909;

[0106] S909, BIOS starts according to the default settings;

[0107] S910: The server enters the operating system.

[0108] In an exemplary embodiment, during server startup, after determining N first signals of the mainboard, the method further includes: when N is less than a first preset threshold, or when an abnormality occurs in reading the N first signals, setting an expansion chip through a bus set in the mainboard; generating N first signals through the expansion chip; and reading the status value of each first signal from the BMC through the IPMI protocol, wherein the BMC is configured to assign the status value of each first signal to a corresponding variable in the BMC.

[0109] Optionally, this embodiment is applicable to scenarios where the number of first signals of the CPU is insufficient or the CPU has no first signal, and implements the function of the BIOS obtaining the server motherboard information confirmed by the BMC through the IPMI command to load the BIOS image of different hardware motherboards with the same processor.
