Abstract
The invention discloses a network firmware updating method based on an FT platform. The network firmware updating method comprises the following steps: connecting a JTAG interface with a GPIO of a BMC through a level conversion chip; enabling the GPIO of the BMC to be in communication with a processor in a JITG analog manner; meanwhile, integrating the BMC with an MAC network controller, so as to communicate with the outside through the network; converting the network format data into the JTAG format data through internal processing of the BMC program, so as to update the system platform firmware through a BMC network remote access manner. The network firmware updating method ensures that in the server based on the FT platform, the firmware can be updated in the network remote manner, so that the convenience in product debugging is increased and the follow-up maintainability is improved.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to firmware renewal technology, specifically a kind of method being upgraded firmware based on platform of soaring by network.
Background technology
Nowadays in server design field, the maintainability of product and ease of manageability have become the field that product designer, client and O&M engineer pay attention to further, particularly due to characteristic and the environment for use of server, it can be one of server BMC standard configuration becoming server that outband management is provided.
BMC is a kind of microprocessor be born based on IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) agreement, this processor is by inner integrated MAC, outwards can provide services on the Internet, make long-range outband management become possibility.
FT1000A processor is the second generation processor of domestic platform of soaring, by updating first generation processor, this processor is greatly improved in performance and stability and reliability, this processor carries JTAG interface, can be upgraded by the firmware of this interface to SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), make to become possibility by network online updating firmware.
Summary of the invention
The bright weak point existed for prior art of we, provides a kind of method being upgraded firmware based on platform of soaring by network.
A kind of method being upgraded firmware based on platform of soaring by network of the present invention, the technical scheme solveing the technical problem employing is as follows: the JTAG interface carried by processor can be used for carrying out the renewal of SPI firmware, be connected with the GPIO of BMC by level transferring chip at the JTAG interface of processor thus, the GPIO of BMC is communicated with processor by the mode simulating JIAG; Simultaneously, the integrated MAC network controller of BMC self, can be communicated with the external world by network, through the process of BMC program inside, by the data that the data transformations of network format is JTAG form, and then accessed the mode more new system platform firmware of BMC by network remote.
In the present invention, processor described in system adopts FT1000A processor.
Described level transferring chip adopts TXB0108PWR.
When using the method for the invention to carry out firmware renewal, remote terminal is connected to the RJ45 interface of server system by Ethernet switch, netting twine, and connect PHY by RJ45 interface, set up by PHY and BMC and contact, through the inter-process of BMC program, the data of network format can be converted to the data of JTAG form, then by the JATG interface between BMC and CPU, firmware BIOS be upgraded.
A kind of beneficial effect compared with prior art had by the method that network upgrades firmware based on platform of soaring of the present invention is: the JATG interface of FT1000A CPU is coupled together by the GPIO of level shift and BMC by the method, the GPIO of BMC is communicated by simulation JTAG and CPU, and the inner data by process, the packet of network format being converted into JTAG standard of BMC program, realize network remote more new system platform firmware; Upgraded the method for firmware by this network, guaranteeing based on soaring in the server of platform, the renewal of firmware can be carried out by the mode of network remote, improve the convenience of production debugging and follow-up maintainability.
Accompanying drawing explanation
Accompanying drawing 1 is the JATG connection diagram between described FT1000A processor and BMC;
Accompanying drawing 2 is the schematic diagram being upgraded platform firmware of soaring by network remote.
Embodiment
For making the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearly understand, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, and with reference to accompanying drawing, a kind of method upgrading firmware by network based on platform of soaring of the present invention is further described.
A kind of method being upgraded firmware based on platform of soaring by network of the present invention, the JTAG interface carried by FT1000A processor can be used for carrying out the renewal of SPI firmware, and the firmware that the mode thus by being connected with BMC at described JTAG interface carries out network remote upgrades.By the method, can guarantee to soar in the server of platform, be carried out the renewal of firmware by the mode of network remote, thus improve the convenience of production debugging and follow-up maintainability.
Embodiment:
A kind of method being upgraded firmware based on platform of soaring by network described in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, JTAG(Joint Test Action Group by FT1000A processor (CPU)) interface is by level transferring chip (Level shift) and BMC(Baseboard Management Controller) GPIO be connected, the GPIO of BMC is communicated with processor CPU by the mode of simulation JIAG; Simultaneously, the integrated MAC of BMC self (Media Acess Controller) network controller, can be communicated with the external world by network, through the process of BMC program inside, can be the data of JTAG form by the data transformations of network format, realize carrying out renewal by the mode of network remote access BMC and to soar platform firmware.
Level Level due to the JTAG interface of FT1000A processor is 2.5V, and the level Level of the GPIO of BMC is 3.3V, therefore between CPU and BMC, need increase level transferring chip, level transferring chip described in the present embodiment adopt TXB0108PWR carry out CPU and BMC between the conversion of level, then communicated with CPU by the mode that GPIO simulates JATG.
When using the method to carry out firmware renewal, as shown in Figure 2, remote terminal is connected to the RJ45 interface of server system by Ethernet switch, netting twine, and connect PHY by RJ45 interface, and contacted by PHY and BMC foundation, through the inter-process of BMC program, the data of network format can be converted to the data of JTAG form, then by the JATG interface between BMC and CPU, firmware BIOS be upgraded.
In server system, BMC as outband management chip, independent of BIOS and OS(operating system) run.When needs carry out firmware renewal, first the Standby electricity of system is powered on, to ensure that the initialization of BMC program completes, subsequently by the internal control interface of access to netwoks BMC, because internal interface is integrated with BIOS firmware renewing button, therefore can by directly clicking the then selected renewal needing the firmware version upgraded to carry out firmware in next step of this button, whole process can be undertaken by network remote, do not need to come into machine room or close machine, very convenient.
Above-mentioned embodiment is only concrete case of the present invention; scope of patent protection of the present invention includes but not limited to above-mentioned embodiment; any claims according to the invention and person of an ordinary skill in the technical field to its suitable change done or replacement, all should fall into scope of patent protection of the present invention.
