Reader, after having read the specific embodiment of the present invention with reference to accompanying drawing, will become apparent various aspects of the present invention.Wherein,
Fig. 1 illustrates according to one embodiment of the invention, in computer system for detection of the integrated stand composition of the testing circuit of system fatal error indicator signal; And
Fig. 2 further illustrates the circuit theory diagrams of the voltage transformation module in the system fatal error indicator signal testing circuit shown in Fig. 1.
Embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawings, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail.
Fig. 1 illustrates according to one embodiment of the invention, has the integrated stand composition of the computer system of detection system fatal error indicator signal.For example, the computer system here can be server.With reference to Fig. 1, the computer system with detection system fatal error indicator signal 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 output one fatal error indicator signals.CPLD 109 is electrically coupled to central processor unit 101 and 103, and receives the system 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 individual pulse signal, CPLD 109 is sent to south bridge 111 by 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 by 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 by south bridge 111 and baseboard management controller 113, export respectively reset command to restart system, because when fatal error indicator signal is a plurality of continuous pulse signal, south bridge can crash, so turn in this case by baseboard management controller 113, comes control system to restart.
If those of ordinary skill in the art should be appreciated that the computer system for single cpu, when there is expendable gross error, understand by this expendable gross error of this CPU automatic Check, and notifying 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 obscure maybe cannot be definite phenomenon., for the computer system with two or more CPU, available technology adopting multichannel fatal error indicator signal sends control module together to, and is sent request to south bridge by control module, by south bridge, exports reset command.Like this, indicator signal that specifically which CPU to send fatal error by can not determine, and when fatal error indicator signal is continuous pulse signal, south bridge can crash and cannot restart in time.
According to one embodiment of the invention, computer system also comprises voltage transformation module 105 and voltage transformation module 107, wherein voltage transformation module 105 is electrically connected central processor unit 101 and CPLD 109, and voltage transformation module 107 is electrically connected 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 in this embodiment is not that computer system of the present invention is necessary, they are only used 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, by computer system of the present invention, complete just the detection of fatal error indicator signal, could pick out very lucidly the numbering 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 receiving 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 to this fatal error indicator signal.For instance, when central processor unit 101 or 103 sends indicator signal, baseboard management controller 113 can record relevant journal entries, and journal entries can record the fatal error indicator signal being sent by central processor unit 101 or central processor unit 103.
Fig. 2 further illustrates the circuit theory diagrams of the voltage transformation module of the computer system with detection system fatal error indicator signal shown in Fig. 1.Be not difficult to find out, corresponding to the voltage transformation module 105 of central processor unit 101, corresponding to the voltage transformation module 107 of central processor unit 103, can be arranged to identical together.Hereinafter with arbitrary voltage transformation module, be elaborated.
For the purpose of describing, presetting fatal error indicator signal is Low level effective.That is to say, when fatal error indicator signal presents low level, there is expendable gross error in illustrative system; On the contrary, when fatal error indicator signal presents high level, illustrative system is in normal operating condition.Should be understood that, also predeterminable fatal error indicator signal is that high level is effective, and correspondingly changes electronic component arrangements model and parameter in voltage transformation module.
Take Low level effective as example, when the fatal error indicator signal from central processor unit 101 is high level, and while being electrically coupled to the emitter of NPN transistor Q1, Q1 is not because meeting unlocking condition in cut-off state, now, the collector of Q1 presents high level.Because the collector of Q1 is electrically connected to CPLD 109, what corresponding to the universal input port of Q1 collector, receive be also high level signal, and CPLD 109 can't transmit information to notify south bridge or baseboard management controller to send reset command.On the other hand, when the fatal error indicator signal from central processor unit 101 is low level, the base stage of Q1 and the voltage between emitter are in positively biased, and Q1 is in conducting state, now, 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 corresponding to the universal input port of Q1 collector, receive is also low level signal, and CPLD 109 is by transmission information and allow baseboard management controller 113 record current error log.Preferably, the universal input and output port of baseboard management controller by a plurality of universal input and output port records the system fatal error indicator signal that a central processor unit of a plurality of central processor units sends.For example, by error log, just can know central processor unit 101 and when gross error appears in system, send fatal error indicator signal.
Although those of ordinary skill in the art should be appreciated that voltage transformation module in Fig. 2 mainly by NPN transistor completed conversion between level (as, from the level signal of 1.1V, convert the level signal of 3.3V to), the present invention has more than and is confined to this.For example, can also adopt CMOS transistor to substitute NPN transistor, can complete level conversion function equally.
Adopt the computer system with detection system fatal error indicator signal of the present invention, when the CPLD in testing circuit receives fatal error indicator signal, can be sent to south bridge or baseboard management controller according to the classification of indicator signal, to restart system by south bridge or baseboard management controller.In addition,, when CPLD receives fatal error indicator signal, baseboard management controller can generation error daily record, clearly to record fatal error indicator signal, comes from which central processor unit.
Above, describe the specific embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.But those skilled in the art can understand, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention in the situation that, can also do various changes and replacement to the specific embodiment of the present invention.These changes and replacement all drop in the claims in the present invention book limited range.
