Fig. 2 further specifies the circuit theory diagrams of the voltage transformation module in system's fatal error indicator signal testing circuit shown in Figure 1.
Embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawings, specific embodiments of the invention is done further to describe in detail.
Fig. 1 illustrates according to one embodiment of the invention, in computer system, is used for the integrated stand composition of the testing circuit of detection system fatal error indicator signal.For example, the computer system here can be a server.With reference to Fig. 1; This system's fatal error indicator signal testing circuit (for simplicity; Testing circuit hereinafter referred to as) comprises central processor unit (CPU, Central Processor Unit) 101 and 103, CPLD 109, south bridge 111 and baseboard management controller 113.When appearring in computer system, unrecoverable error mistakes, by central processor unit 101 or central processor unit 103 outputs one fatal error indicator signal.CPLD 109 is electrically coupled to central processor unit 101 and 103, and receives the system's fatal error indicator signal from central processor unit 101 and 103.
In addition; South bridge 111 is electrically coupled to CPLD 109, and baseboard management controller 113 is electrically coupled to CPLD 109, thus; When the fatal error indicator signal from central processor unit is the individual pulse signal; CPLD 109 is sent to south bridge 111 with this fatal error indicator signal, and by south bridge 111 output reset command, thereby restart computer system.And when the fatal error indicator signal from central processor unit is plural continuous impulse signal; CPLD 109 is sent to baseboard management controller 113 with this fatal error indicator signal; And by baseboard management controller 113 output reset command, thereby restart computer system.It is to be noted; In this computer system; Why export reset command respectively to restart system by south bridge 111 and baseboard management controller 113; Be because when the fatal error indicator signal was a plurality of consecutive pulses signal, south bridge can crash, so commentaries on classics comes control system to restart by baseboard management controller 113 under this situation.
If those of ordinary skill in the art should be appreciated that the computer system for single cpu, when expendable gross error takes place, can check this expendable gross error automatically by this CPU, and notify south bridge to send reset command subsequently.Obviously, in this case, the CPU of fatal error indicator signal source is clear and definite and clearly, can't cause and obscure the phenomenon that maybe can't confirm., for the computer system with two or more CPU, available technology adopting multichannel fatal error indicator signal sends control module together to, and sends request by control module to south bridge, exports reset command through south bridge.Like this, indicator signal that specifically which CPU to send fatal error by can not be confirmed, and when the fatal error indicator signal was the consecutive pulses signal, south bridge can crash and can't in time restart.
According to one embodiment of the invention; Testing circuit also comprises voltage transformation module 105 and voltage transformation module 107; Wherein voltage transformation module 105 electrically connects central processor unit 101 and CPLD 109, and voltage transformation module 107 electrically connects central processor unit 103 and CPLD 111.Those of ordinary skill in the art is to be understood that; Voltage transformation module 105 and 107 among this embodiment is not that testing circuit of the present invention is necessary; They only are in order to amplify or strengthen the intensity of fatal error indicator signal, and the present invention also has more than and is confined to this.
From the above, accomplish the detection of fatal error indicator signal just through testing circuit of the present invention, could pick out numbering very lucidly with the closely-related central processor unit of fatal error indicator signal.Preferably, voltage transformation module 105 and 107 is the identical change-over circuits of electronic component arrangements.
Should be understood that; No matter the fatal error indicator signal that is received is individual pulse or continuous a plurality of pulses; CPLD 109 all sends identifying information to baseboard management controller 113, and by baseboard management controller 113 generation error daily records.For example, this error log comprises the numbering of the central processor unit relevant with this fatal error indicator signal.For instance; When central processing unit unit 101 or 103 sends indicator signal; Baseboard management controller 113 can write down relevant journal entries, and journal entries can write down the fatal error indicator signal of being sent by central processor unit 101 or central processor unit 103.
Fig. 2 further specifies the circuit theory diagrams of the voltage transformation module in system's fatal error indicator signal testing circuit shown in Figure 1.Be not difficult to find out, can be arranged to identical corresponding to the voltage transformation module 107 of central processor unit 103 together corresponding to the voltage transformation module 105 of central processor unit 101.Hereinafter be elaborated with arbitrary voltage transformation module.
For the purpose of describing, preestablishing the fatal error indicator signal is that low level is effective.That is to say that when the fatal error indicator signal presented low level, expendable gross error appearred in illustrative system; On the contrary, when the fatal error indicator signal presented high level, illustrative system was in normal operating condition.Should be understood that also predeterminable fatal error indicator signal is that high level is effective, and correspondingly change electronic component arrangements model and parameter in the voltage transformation module.
With low level effectively is example; When the fatal error indicator signal from central processor unit 101 is a high level, and when being electrically coupled to the emitter of NPN transistor Q1, Q1 is not in cut-off state because of meeting unlocking condition; At this moment, the collector of Q1 presents high level.Because the collector of Q1 is electrically connected to CPLD 109; What then receive corresponding to the general input port of Q1 collector also be high level signal, and CPLD 109 can't transmit information and send reset command to notify south bridge or baseboard management controller.On the other hand; When the fatal error indicator signal from central processor unit 101 was low level, the base stage of Q1 and the voltage between emitter were in positively biased, and Q1 is in conducting state; At this moment, the collector of Q1 and emitter form electrical path and present low level.Because the collector of Q1 is electrically connected to CPLD 109; What then receive corresponding to the general input port of Q1 collector also be low level signal, and CPLD 109 will transmit information and let baseboard management controller 113 write down current error log.Preferably, the universal input and output port of baseboard management controller through a plurality of universal input and output port writes down system's fatal error indicator signal that a central processor unit of a plurality of central processor units is sent.For example, just can know through error log and sent the fatal error indicator signal when central processor unit 101 gross error occurs in system.
Though those of ordinary skill in the art should be appreciated that among Fig. 2 voltage transformation module mainly through NPN transistor accomplished conversion between the level (as, convert the level signal of 3.3V to from the level signal of 1.1V), the present invention has more than and is confined to this.For example, can also adopt the CMOS transistor to substitute NPN transistor, can accomplish the level conversion function equally.
Adopt system of the present invention fatal error indicator signal testing circuit; When the CPLD in the testing circuit receives the fatal error indicator signal; Can be sent to south bridge or baseboard management controller according to the classification of indicator signal, to restart system through south bridge or baseboard management controller.In addition, when CPLD received the fatal error indicator signal, baseboard management controller can the generation error daily record, comes from which central processor unit clearly to write down the fatal error indicator signal.
In the preceding text, illustrate and describe embodiment of the present invention.But those skilled in the art can understand, and under situation without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can also specific embodiments of the invention do various changes and replacement.These changes and replacement all drop in claims of the present invention institute restricted portion.
