Abstract
The invention provides a method for automatically upgrading a BIOS (basic input/output system) and a Linux core. The method is characterized in that: after the BIOS is started up, a network card is initialized, and is connected to an upgrading server via a network to read a configuration file, and according to the parsed result of the configuration file, the BIOS and the Linux core are updated. The method ensures that updating the BIOS and the Linux core is no longer a complex task, and meanwhile, updated version and content can be set according to need.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to mainboard BIOS and (SuSE) Linux OS kernel and upgrade, specifically, the method for a kind of BIOS and linux kernel auto-update is provided.
Background technology
In the use of server, do not get rid of the possibility that BIOS, linux kernel program are upgraded.When hundreds and thousands of machines being carried out BIOS, linux kernel renewal, be not easy, a happy thing by managerial personnel or user of service.
The renewal operation of current BIOS and kernel is not integrated in the bios program on the one hand, needs user or managerial personnel to accomplish by hand on the other hand.When needs upgraded bios program, mainly contain following two kinds of methods: the BIOS refresh routine was at first installed in (1), and obtained up-to-date BIOS binary code file.This needs the support of operating system on the one hand, also must need the support of BIOS refresh routine on the other hand; (2) use and to have the floppy disk that starts function and start computing machine, this floppy disk has comprised BIOS refresh routine and up-to-date BIOS binary code file.Concerning needs carried out user or managerial personnel that BIOS upgrades, these two kinds of methods had obviously increased renewal difficulty and workload.
Simultaneously, after BIOS starts completion, can move boot such as Grub.The user can be provided with the Grub boot, to start different linux kernel programs, accomplishes the renewal operation to the linux kernel program.After linux kernel that the user uses legacy version is with system start-up, can use up-to-date linux kernel program file to cover the linux kernel file of legacy version, so need not change the configuration of Grub boot.When the user does not cover the linux kernel file of legacy version, and during the new filename that is to use, can use this new linux kernel file to start, need be configured the Grub boot in order to make the Grub boot.This update method obviously relates to too many user participates in, and needs the user effort long time could accomplish the renewal operation of linux kernel.
Summary of the invention
In order to address the above problem, the invention provides the method for a kind of BIOS and linux kernel auto-update, making BIOS, linux kernel program updates no longer is a loaded down with trivial details task.
The method of a kind of BIOS and linux kernel auto-update is characterized in that: after BIOS starts, accomplish the network interface card initialization, be connected to upgrade server through network, read configuration file, carry out the renewal of BIOS and linux kernel according to the analysis result of configuration file.
Preferably, the driving file of said network interface card is to merge in BIOS, when BIOS starts, loads.
Preferably, said configuration file is disposed according to the renewal needs by the keeper and accomplishes and leave on the upgrade server.
Preferably, said configuration file content comprises the filename of BIOS and linux kernel, version number and update date.
Preferably, if the environmental variance of BIOS and Linux is consistent in the analysis result of said configuration file and the flash storer, then do not need to upgrade, BIOS withdraws from the update functions code, continues to carry out follow-up code; If environmental variance is inconsistent, then need to upgrade.
More preferably, read upgrade file from upgrade server during renewal, and with file load in internal memory, simultaneously the profile information that reads is stored in the flash storer as environmental variance.
More preferably, after renewal was accomplished, BIOS upgraded through the new environmental variance of loading when started next time.
It no longer is a loaded down with trivial details task that the present invention makes BIOS, linux kernel program updates, simultaneously, can set up the version and the content of renewal as required on their own.
Embodiment
When bios program when starting operation, after accomplishing the network function initialization, through the network loading configuration file, configuration file is resolved, to determine whether and need upgrade operation to bios program or linux kernel program.In the time need not upgrading operation, BIOS withdraws from the update functions code, continues to carry out other function codes.When needs upgraded operation, bios program can be known the filename and the version number of up-to-date bios program or linux kernel program through the parsing to configuration file.If the version number that the environmental variance of this version number and Flash storage is corresponding is consistent; When starting last time, expression bios program or linux kernel program upgraded; Need not when this starts to upgrade once more, BIOS withdraws from the update functions code, continues to carry out other function codes.If the version number that the environmental variance of this version number and Flash storage is corresponding is inconsistent, perhaps the environmental variance of Flash storage does not exist, and expression bios program or linux kernel program need renewal in this start-up course.So just can up-to-date bios program, linux kernel program be loaded in the internal memory.Simultaneously, the bios program that obtains or linux kernel program version number are stored among the Flash as environmental variance.Like this, BIOS loaded the flash memory content and accomplished the renewal operation when starting next time.Through above step, can accomplish BIOS, the operation of linux kernel program updates to server.
Claims (7)
1. the method for BIOS and linux kernel auto-update; It is characterized in that: after BIOS starts, accomplish the network interface card initialization, be connected to upgrade server through network; Read configuration file, carry out the renewal of BIOS and linux kernel according to the analysis result of configuration file.
2. the method for claim 1 is characterized in that: the driving file of said network interface card is to merge in BIOS, loading when BIOS starts.
3. the method for claim 1 is characterized in that: said configuration file is accomplished and is left on the upgrade server according to upgrading the needs configuration by the keeper.
4. the method for claim 1, it is characterized in that: said configuration file content comprises the filename of BIOS and linux kernel, version number and update date.
5. the method for claim 1 is characterized in that: if the environmental variance of BIOS and Linux is consistent in the analysis result of said configuration file and the flash storer, then do not need to upgrade, BIOS withdraws from the update functions code, continues to carry out follow-up code; If environmental variance is inconsistent, then need to upgrade.
6. method as claimed in claim 5 is characterized in that: read upgrade file from upgrade server during renewal, and with file load in internal memory, simultaneously the profile information that reads is stored in the flash storer as environmental variance.
7. like claim 1,5 or 6 described methods, it is characterized in that: after upgrading completion, BIOS was through loading new environmental variance renewal when started next time.
