Embodiment
According to embodiments of the invention, provide the control method of a kind of BIOS.
As shown in Figure 2, comprise according to the control method of the BIOS of the embodiment of the present invention:
Step S201, baseboard management controller (Base Board Management Controller, referred to as BMC), according to the steering order of input, determines the control mode needing to control BIOS, wherein, steering order is used for controlling BIOS;
Step S203, baseboard management controller realizes the function corresponding to the control mode determined by the bridge sheet control BIOS of mainboard.
As shown in Figure 3, baseboard management controller can connect with the multiple function ports on bridge sheet (such as, can be south bridge), and wherein, each function port realizes corresponding function for triggering BIOS.Such as, figure 3 illustrates connected function port and can comprise Clear RTC, DescripterMode and Top Block Swap, these ports are all for control BIOS.
Further, baseboard management controller, by controlling the signal level provided each function port, controls each function port and whether triggers the function that BIOS realizes correspondence.Alternatively, as shown in Figure 3, each function port on bridge sheet is all connected with a corresponding ports of baseboard management controller, thus improves the degree of accuracy controlled.
Alternatively, the control mode determined comprises and refreshes BIOS, makes BIOS enter assigned work pattern, and these functions can be realized by function port Clear RTC, the DescripterMode on PCH (bridge sheet).Such as, under the control mode determined is carry out brush news to BIOS, baseboard management controller is resetted by the function control BIOS that the Clear RTC port of triggering bridge sheet is corresponding, thus completes various upgrading and attended operation easily.Certainly, the present invention can carry out other configuration equally to BIOS by Top Block Swap.
