The excessive time is expended when part, so as to improve the efficiency that user updates ethernet controller firmware.
In order to more clearly illustrate technical scheme of the present invention and advantage, below with controller model 82574, firmware
The ethernet controller firmware a of entitled 82574-AT25320；Controller model 11111, firmware name 11111-
Ethernet controller firmware b, the EEPROM3 that EEPROM type number is AT25320 and the EEPROM type number of BT63236 be
For the EEPROM6 of BT63236, a kind of firmware update system provided in an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail, such as Fig. 7 institutes
Show, specifically includes following steps：
Step 701：Firmware name is 82574- when getting update application input by user by Web client
AT25320 and firmware name 11111-BT63236 show user.
Specifically, by being arranged each ethernet controller firmware in Web client in advance, and it is each Ethernet
It with controller model and EEPROM type number is firmware name that controller firmware, which is arranged, can make user according to actual demand more
Other than newly specified when net controller firmware, only it need to can determine that wanted newer ethernet controller is solid according to firmware name
Part wants newer ethernet controller firmware so as to improve user's lookup.
Step 702：Web client is according to the specified firmware name that the firmware name of displaying determines getting user
Firmware name is the corresponding ethernet controller firmware a of 82574-AT25320 and defeated by 82574-AT25320 and when MAC Address
Enter MAC Address and is uploaded to BMC.
Specifically, user determines according to actual demand and wants newer ethernet controller firmware is corresponding to specify admittedly
After part title, MAC Address only need to be inputted again, Web client can be by the corresponding specified ethernet controller of specified firmware name
Firmware and MAC Address upload to BMC, and the update of ethernet controller firmware can be completed by BMC.
Step 703：BMC obtains the ethernet controller firmware a and MAC Address that Web client uploads.
Specifically, BMC is when getting ethernet controller firmware and MAC Address, the ether network control that can will be got
To file in preset buffer zone, the title of file can facilitate with firmware name always for device firmware processed storage
User searches ethernet controller firmware from BMC.
Step 704：The MAC Address of acquisition is replaced the original MAC address word specified in ethernet controller firmware a by BMC
Section.
Specifically, there can be original MAC Address field in ethernet controller firmware, in order to enable ethernet controller
Firmware can run corresponding ethernet controller after flushing to EEPROM, need original MAC Address field replacing with use
The MAC Address of family input.
Step 705：BMC calculates and updates the school specified in ethernet controller firmware a according to the MAC Address replaced
Test the content with field.
Specifically, it in order to ensure the integrality and accuracy of telecommunication data, needs according to the MAC Address replaced
Calculate and update the content for specifying the checksum field in ethernet controller firmware a.
Step 706：BMC is 82574-AT25320 according to the firmware name of specified ethernet controller firmware a, and determination refers to
Determine ethernet controller firmware and corresponds to the EEPROM3 that EEPROM type number is AT25320.
Specifically, since the BMC specified ethernet controller firmwares obtained have corresponding firmware name, and firmware name is
It is made of controller model and EEPROM type number, according to the EEPROM type number in firmware name, you can determine specified ether network control
The corresponding EEPROM of device processed.
Step 707：BMC flushes to updated ethernet controller firmware a in EEPROM3.
Specifically, by the outband management function of BMC, updated ethernet controller firmware a is flushed into EEPROM3
In, the ethernet controller firmware a that BMC refreshes is stored by EEPROM, you can complete the refreshing work of ethernet controller firmware a
Make.And refresh process is without using third party's firmware refresh tool, you can control the Ethernet of various Platform Server mainboards
Device firmware carries out refresh operation, simple and effective.
The each embodiment of the present invention at least has the advantages that：

Claim, the firmware name of setting can be showed into user when getting update input by user and applying, and obtain user according to
Actual demand selects required specified firmware name and MAC Address from the firmware name of displaying, by by specified firmware name
Corresponding specified ethernet controller firmware and MAC Address are uploaded to external BMC, you can update specifies ethernet controller solid
Part wants newer parameter without user's manual calculations with ethernet controller firmware, can be to avoid user in update ether
The excessive time is expended when net controller firmware, so as to improve the efficiency that user updates ethernet controller firmware.
2, in embodiments of the present invention, each ethernet controller firmware has corresponding ethernet controller, and every
One ethernet controller has corresponding controller model, according to user's actual need, it may be determined that ethernet controller pair
The EEPROM and EEPROM type number answered regard the controller model and EEPROM type number determined as ethernet controller firmware
Firmware name, external BMC can be made to find corresponding EEPROM according to the EEPROM type number in firmware name, so that complete
At the refreshing of ethernet controller firmware.
3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of firmware updates, in the method applied to BMC, are getting outside
Web client upload specified ethernet controller firmware and MAC Address when, using the MAC Address of acquisition update it is specified with
Content too in net controller, then updated specified ethernet controller firmware is flushed into specified ethernet controller and is corresponded to
EERROM in, you can complete the refreshing of ethernet controller firmware, and during entire ethernet controller firmware refreshes,
Newer parameter is wanted with ethernet controller firmware without user's manual calculations, it can be to avoid user in update Ethernet control
The excessive time is expended when device firmware, so as to improve the efficiency that user updates ethernet controller firmware.
4, in embodiments of the present invention, it is not directly to finger after getting MAC Address and ethernet controller firmware
Determine ethernet controller firmware to flush in EEPROM, but needs first to update the content in ethernet controller firmware, and more
Field contents in new ethernet controller firmware, can flush to avoid by not newer specified ethernet controller firmware
Specified ethernet controller firmware can not be run after in EEPROM.
5, in embodiments of the present invention, specified ethernet controller firmware is before being flushed to external EEPROM by BMC,
It needs first to determine the specified ethernet controller firmware EEPROM to be refreshed, then lead to according to EEPROM type number in firmware name
EEPROM can be flushed to by specified ethernet controller firmware by crossing different spi bus sequential.To sum up, refreshing ether
During net controller firmware, newer parameter is wanted with ethernet controller firmware without user's manual calculations, can be kept away
