Detailed Description
It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a method for on-line upgrading a server LCD module, the method being applied to a server LCD module on-line upgrading apparatus, including:
s1: the BMC2 is communicated with the LCD module 1 through a serial port, wherein the BMC2 and the LCD module 1 are both contained in a server LCD module online upgrading device;
s2: the BMC2 judges whether a user burning request instruction is received;
s3: if yes, the BMC2 sends a connection instruction to the LCD module 1;
s4: after the connection is successful, the BMC2 sends an erasing instruction to the LCD module 1;
s5: after the erasing is successful, the BMC2 sends the burning file to the LCD module 1;
s6: the BMC2 sends a burning command to the LCD module 1;
s7: the LCD module 1 writes the burning file into a ROM chip, wherein the ROM chip is contained in the LCD module 1.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when a BMC2(baseboard management controller) is started, it is necessary to initialize a corresponding serial port, set a baud rate 115200, set a data stream format, and set a frame format. The BMC2 communicates with the LCD module 1 through a serial port to realize data interaction between the LCD module and the BMC. Specifically, the BMC chip AST2500 of the upper motherboard of the hardware is connected to the MCU11 of the LCD module 1 through a serial port, and the MCU11 drives the LCD13 through the SPI bus. The BMC2 is in communication connection with the client 3, and the user can send a control command to the BMC2 through the client 3. The BMC2 judges whether a user burning request instruction is received in real time; if the BMC2 receives the user recording request command, it generates a connection command and sends the connection command to the LCD module 1. After the connection is successful, the BMC2 sends an erasing instruction to the LCD module 1 to complete the preparation of the burning file. After the program of the LCD module 1 is successfully erased, the BMC2 sends a recording file, which is specifically a bin file, to the LCD module 1. After sending the burning file, the BMC2 sends a burning command to the LCD module 1, the LCD module 1 starts burning, specifically, the MCU11 writes the burning file into the ROM chip after receiving the burning file, wherein the ROM chip is included in the LCD module 1, thereby completing the online upgrade of the LCD module 1. Through the arrangement, the method can directly upgrade the LCD firmware through the BMC2, avoids the power failure of the server and the invariance brought by the interruption of user services, also avoids the damage to the server caused by the disassembly of the case, and greatly improves the upgrading efficiency of the LCD firmware of the server.
Further, the step S2, in which the BMC2 is in communication connection with the Web side, and the BMC2 determines whether the user burn request instruction is received, includes:
s21: and judging whether the BMC receives a burning request instruction sent by a user from a Web end.
In the embodiment of the invention, a user accesses a server through a world wide Web (world wide Web) end and sends an instruction to the server. And a burning instruction can be sent and a burning file can be transmitted to the BMC2 at the Web end, so that the upgrading efficiency of the user for updating the LCD firmware of the server is further improved.
Further, before the step S7 in which the LCD module 1 writes the burning file into the ROM chip, the method includes:
the LCD module 1 stops communicating with the BMC 2.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the LCD module 1 receives the burning command, the communication with the BMC2 is immediately stopped, so as to prevent the BMC2 from interfering with the upgrading of the LCD module 1.
In other embodiments of the present invention, before the LCD module 1 receives the recording information, the LCD module 1 displays the information sent by the BMC2 in a loop, including the IP, model, and server errors sent by the BMC 2.
Referring to fig. 2, the present invention provides an online upgrade apparatus for a server LCD module, comprising:
the LCD module 1 is used for displaying server information;
the BMC2 is used for receiving and sending a control command and a burning file to the LCD module 1;
and the client 3 is used for sending the control command and the burning file to the BMC 2.
Further, the LCD module 1 includes:
the MCU11 is used for receiving instructions and files of the BMC2 and controlling the LCD module 1;
the crystal oscillator 12 is used for providing a clock source for the MCU11, and the instruction period of the crystal oscillator is 12 MHz;
and the LCD13 is used for displaying.
In the embodiment of the invention, the server LCD module online upgrading device comprises an LCD module 1, a BMC2 and a client 3. The client 3 is a Web client. In the online upgrading process, the client sends a burning request instruction to the BMC2, the BMC2 sends the burning file received from the Web to the LCD module 1 after receiving the burning request instruction, and the LCD module 1 starts burning after receiving the burning instruction sent by the BMC2, so that the online upgrading of the LCD firmware is completed. Through the arrangement, the method can directly upgrade the LCD firmware through the BMC2, avoids the power failure of the server and the invariance brought by the interruption of user services, also avoids the damage to the server caused by the disassembly of the case, and greatly improves the upgrading efficiency of the LCD firmware of the server.
