Technical scheme of the present invention is achieved in that
The control method of a kind of BIOS is provided according to an aspect of the present invention.
This method comprises: baseboard management controller is according to the steering order of input, confirms the control mode that need control BIOS, and wherein, steering order is used for BIOS is controlled; Baseboard management controller is realized the function corresponding to the control mode of confirming through the bridge sheet control BIOS of mainboard.
Wherein, baseboard management controller is connected with a plurality of function ports on the bridge sheet, and wherein, each function port is used to trigger BIOS and realizes corresponding function.
And baseboard management controller, is controlled each function port and whether is triggered the function that BIOS realizes correspondence the signal level that each function port provides through control.
And each the function port on the bridge sheet all connects with a corresponding port of baseboard management controller.
Alternatively, the control mode of confirming comprise following one of at least: refresh, make BIOS to get into the assigned work pattern to BIOS.
And under the situation that BIOS is refreshed, baseboard management controller is controlled BIOS through the corresponding function of Clear RTC port of triggering bridge sheet and is resetted in the control mode of confirming.
In addition, above-mentioned bridge sheet can be south bridge.
The control device of a kind of BIOS is provided according to a further aspect in the invention.
This device comprises: determination module, be used for steering order according to input, and confirm the control mode that need control BIOS, wherein, steering order is used for BIOS is controlled; Control module is used for realizing the function corresponding to the control mode of confirming through the bridge sheet control BIOS of mainboard.
Wherein, Control module is connected with a plurality of function ports on the bridge sheet; Wherein, each function port is used to trigger BIOS and realizes corresponding function, and; Control module, is controlled each function port and whether is triggered the function that BIOS realizes correspondence the signal level that each function port provides through control.
And each function port is connected with the general input that control module provides.
The present invention controls the bridge sheet through baseboard management controller; Thereby control BIOS realizes corresponding function; Can avoid opening cabinet and carry out hardware jumper; Thereby easily BIOS is carried out the control of variety of way, simplified the process of BIOS control, reduced time and workload operations such as BIOS safeguard, refreshes.

Embodiment
According to embodiments of the invention, the control method of a kind of BIOS is provided.
As shown in Figure 2, comprise according to the control method of the BIOS of the embodiment of the invention:
Step S201, baseboard management controller (Base Board Management Controller abbreviates BMC as) be according to the steering order of input, confirms the control mode that need control BIOS, and wherein, steering order is used for BIOS is controlled;
Step S203, baseboard management controller is realized the function corresponding to the control mode of confirming through the bridge sheet control BIOS of mainboard.
As shown in Figure 3, baseboard management controller can connect with a plurality of function ports on the bridge sheet (for example, can be south bridge), and wherein, each function port is used to trigger BIOS and realizes corresponding function.For example, the function port that is connected has been shown in Fig. 3 can have comprised Clear RTC, Descripter Mode and Top Block Swap, these ports all are used to control BIOS.
And baseboard management controller, is controlled each function port and whether is triggered the function that BIOS realizes correspondence the signal level that each function port provides through control.Alternatively, as shown in Figure 3, each the function port on the bridge sheet all connects with a corresponding port of baseboard management controller, thereby improves the degree of accuracy of control.
Alternatively, the control mode of confirming comprises and refreshes, makes BIOS to get into the assigned work pattern to BIOS that these functions can realize through function port Clear RTC, the Descripter Mode on the PCH (bridge sheet).For example, under the situation that BIOS is refreshed, baseboard management controller is controlled BIOS through the corresponding function of Clear RTC port of triggering bridge sheet and is resetted, thereby accomplishes various upgradings and attended operation easily in the control mode of confirming.Certainly, the present invention can carry out other configuration by Top Block Swap equally to BIOS.
It should be noted that; Baseboard management controller can be with all can be connected the port that BIOS controls on the bridge sheet; And reach control this corresponding function purpose; The port that these ports are enumerated before being not limited to, and the function of these ports and the mode specifically controlled are that those skilled in the art grasp, this paper enumerates no longer one by one.In addition, the mode that the difference in functionality port is enabled also has a lot, carries out the mode that port is selected and not only be confined to above-mentioned height through level.
For example; With the Intel Platform Server is example; The present invention need add wire jumper with Header to script and can improve the scheme that PCH is configured; General input and output (GPIO) interface through with BMC is connected with each function port of bridge sheet (PCH), and then is provided for selecting the option of corresponding function port, and the operation that makes the user pass through the interface can be accomplished the selection to ports such as Clear RTC.
Then can programme according to the requirement of BIOS upgrading and maintenance for BMC, so that accomplish corresponding design to the option of required setting.Make BMC pass through external graphical interfaces, the BIOS upgrade option is offered the user, supply the user to select.
When Intel Platform Server BIOS being upgraded and safeguard, at first the user selects through the graphical interfaces that BMC provides, and chooses needed upgrading and maintenance mode.BMC is converted into the setting to PCH with user's instruction, and is last, carries out upgrading and the maintenance of BIOS.
Through the Intel server is adopted scheme of the present invention; Can shorten Intel Platform Server BIOS upgrading greatly and the time when safeguarding; Thereby the difficulty that effectively reduces Intel Platform Server BIOS upgrading and safeguard; Shortened BIOS upgrading and maintenance time, improved the line duration of system, the long-time off-line of avoiding server because need reset causes the problem of a large amount of economic losses to the user.Similarly, for other forms of computing machine, can reach similar effects equally, this paper enumerates no longer one by one.
The control device of BIOS is provided according to another embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 4, comprise according to the control device of the BIOS of the embodiment of the invention:
Wherein, control module 42 is connected with a plurality of function ports on the bridge sheet, and wherein, each function port is used to trigger BIOS and realizes corresponding function.
And control module 42 can be controlled each function port and whether trigger the function that BIOS realizes correspondence through control to the signal level that each function port provides.
In sum, by means of technique scheme of the present invention, the bridge sheet is controlled through baseboard management controller; Thereby control BIOS realizes corresponding function; Can avoid opening cabinet and carry out hardware jumper, thereby BIOS carried out the control of variety of way easily, simplify the process of BIOS control; Reduced time and workload, and can be applied in polytype computing machine operations such as BIOS safeguard, refreshes.
The above is merely preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is in order to restriction the present invention, not all within spirit of the present invention and principle, any modification of being done, is equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
