Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The embodiment of the invention discloses a BIOS switching control method, which is shown in figure 2 and is applied to a controller, and the method comprises the following steps:
s11: the running state of the BIOS currently running in the main memory or the standby memory is detected.
Specifically, a main BIOS is stored in a main memory, a standby BIOS is stored in a standby memory, and in a default state, after the computer is started, the main BIOS in the main memory runs to execute a boot program.
Specifically, after the BIOS is started, the controller may obtain an operating state of the currently operating BIOS, where the operating state of the BIOS may be divided into a plurality of operating states including a start state, a start completion state, a normal operating state after the start completion state, a timing pause state, and the like; different running tasks can be included in different states, and the running tasks are different in time consumption, so that the running state of the BIOS is detected, and the work group state and the timing time of the watchdog can be adjusted later.
S12: if the running state is the starting state, a corresponding timing adjusting signal is sent to the CPLD according to the current running task of the BIOS, so that the timing time of the watchdog in the CPLD is dynamically adjusted according to the current running task of the BIOS.
Specifically, the starting state in the running state of the BIOS includes multiple running tasks, the time required by each running task is different, in order to save time and quickly determine whether the BIOS needs to be switched when the BIOS is running normally, the controller obtains the running state of the current running BIOS and further knows the running task being executed by the current BIOS, and sends a corresponding timing adjustment signal to the CPLD according to the task executed by the current BIOS by using a correspondence relationship between the pre-designed timing time and the running task, so as to dynamically adjust the timing time of the watchdog in the CPLD.
For example, if the current BIOS is executing a detection hardware task that consumes a relatively short time, the corresponding timing time may be 6 seconds, and the controller sends a corresponding timing adjustment signal to the CPLD to adjust the timing time of the watchdog of the CPLD to 6 seconds; when the current running task executed by the BIOS is changed into the checking RAM which consumes longer time, the corresponding timing time can be 20 seconds, the controller sends a corresponding timing adjusting signal to the CPLD, and the timing time of the watchdog of the CPLD is adjusted to be 20 seconds, so that the timing time of the watchdog in the CPLD is dynamically adjusted.
It is understood that before the CPLD watchdog is dynamically adjusted, the watchdog timer in the CPLD is set to a default value, for example, the default value may be 10 seconds.
S13: if the running state is the starting completion state, a BIOS verification signal and a watchdog ending signal are sent to the CPLD, so that the CPLD judges whether the current BIOS is the main BIOS or not by using the BIOS verification signal, and the watchdog ending signal is used for closing the timing of the watchdog.
Specifically, if the BIOS is started up and indicates that the BIOS is successfully operated, a watchdog end signal is sent to the CPLD without continuously monitoring the BIOS. Because the current BIOS may be the main BIOS, or the CPLD switches to the standby BIOS after the main BIOS fails, the BIOS verification signal is sent to the CPLD, so that the CPLD judges whether the current BIOS is the main BIOS by using the BIOS verification signal, if the current BIOS is the main BIOS, no action is needed, and if the standby BIOS indicates that the main BIOS fails, for this reason, the CPLD needs to point to the main memory again, so that a user can maintain the main BIOS in the main memory after the boot is completed.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the watchdog timing time of the CPLD is dynamically adjusted by the controller according to the running state and the running task of the BIOS, once the BIOS has a problem, the watchdog of the CPLD can be triggered as soon as possible and switched to the standby BIOS for rebooting as soon as possible without waiting according to the preset fixed timing time, so that the booting progress is greatly accelerated, and after the main BIOS fails, the CPLD can be redirected to the failed main BIOS through the BIOS verification signal, so that a user can maintain the main BIOS, the maintenance difficulty is reduced, and the maintenance efficiency is improved.
The embodiment of the invention discloses a specific method, and compared with the previous embodiment, the embodiment further explains and optimizes the technical scheme. Referring to fig. 3, specifically:
s21: the running state of the BIOS currently running in the main memory or the standby memory is detected.
S22: and if the running state is the starting state, determining the target timing time corresponding to the current running task according to the current running task of the BIOS and a preset mapping relation.
Specifically, the corresponding relationship between various running tasks of the BIOS and the timing time is pre-established, for example, the target timing time corresponding to the hardware task is detected to be 6 seconds, and the target timing time corresponding to the RAM task is detected to be 20 seconds, so that the mapping relationship between the two running tasks and the respective target timing times can be obtained. Therefore, when the running task of the currently running BIOS is determined, the target timing time corresponding to the corresponding running task can be quickly determined according to the pre-established mapping relation.
S23: generating a timing adjustment signal by using the target timing time;
s24: and sending a timing adjustment signal to the CPLD to dynamically adjust the timing time of the watchdog in the CPLD.
Specifically, the CPLD receives the timing adjustment signal, and can adjust the timing time of the watchdog running by itself according to the target timing time recorded in the timing adjustment signal.
S25: if the running state is starting completion, sending a BIOS verification signal and a watchdog ending signal to the CPLD, so that the CPLD judges whether the current BIOS is the main BIOS or not by using the BIOS verification signal and closes the timing of the watchdog by using the watchdog ending signal;
s26: and if the running state is the normal running state, sending a watchdog timing clearing signal to the CPLD so that the CPLD clears the timing of the watchdog by using the watchdog timing clearing signal.
It can be understood that, if the current BIOS is in a normal operation state, the controller sends the watchdog timing clearing signal to the CPLD at regular time, so that the CPLD clears the timing of the watchdog by using the watchdog timing clearing signal, and the CPLD is prevented from triggering the watchdog program to switch the BIOS and restart the computer.
S27: and if the running state is a preset timing pause state, sending a watchdog stop signal to the CPLD so that the CPLD closes the timing of the watchdog by using the watchdog stop signal.
Specifically, in the boot process, the BIOS needs to be manually set sometimes, for example, a user enters a BIOS Setup Menu interface to set the BIOS or a certain task executed by the BIOS consumes a long time, for example, a Check Ram task, such a situation may be set to a timing pause state in advance, and in such a state, the BIOS runs normally, but a large amount of time is needed before the completion of the start-up, so that a watchdog stop signal may be sent to the CPLD, so that the CPLD uses the watchdog stop signal to close the timing of the watchdog, and the watchdog in the CPLD is prevented from being started by mistake.
The embodiment of the invention also discloses a BIOS switching method, which is applied to a CPLD and shown in fig. 4, and includes:
s31: and receiving a starting signal and starting the watchdog.
Specifically, the CPLD may detect whether the S3 signal is at a high level, and if so, prove that the computer is powered on, and at this time, start the watchdog to time for switching to the BIOS to restart when the BIOS fails.
S32: adjusting the timing time of the watchdog according to a timing adjusting signal sent by the controller;
s33: and receiving a watchdog ending signal sent by the controller, and closing the watchdog by using the watchdog ending signal.
The watchdog ending signal is a signal sent by the controller to close the watchdog when the controller detects that the running state of the currently running BIOS is the completion of starting.
S34: when the watchdog is overtime, the BIOS is switched and the computer is restarted.
Specifically, if the controller does not send the watchdog timing clearing signal, the timing time of the watchdog is overtime, which indicates that the currently running BIOS fails, the BIOS is switched, and the computer is restarted, and another BIOS is used to execute the startup program.
It can be understood that the CPLD is turned on for the first time by default to point to the main BIOS, and if the main BIOS is turned on using the standby BIOS after a failure, the user will maintain the main BIOS as soon as possible, and will also point to the main BIOS for the next time of turning on, and turn on using the main BIOS.
S35: and receiving a BIOS verification signal sent by the controller, judging whether the current BIOS is the main BIOS by using the BIOS verification signal, and if not, pointing to the main BIOS again so that a user can control the main BIOS.
Specifically, if the current BIOS is the main BIOS, the operation is not performed, and the monitoring of the BIOS is finished.
S36: and receiving a watchdog timing clearing signal sent by the controller, and clearing the watchdog timing.
S37: and receiving the watchdog stop signal sent by the controller, and closing the watchdog by using the watchdog stop signal.
The watchdog stop signal is a signal sent by the controller to close the watchdog when the controller detects that the running state of the currently running BIOS is a timing pause state.
It should be noted that there is no execution sequence between S33 and S37, and the execution sequence is a parallel execution sequence, and the corresponding step is executed under a condition that is satisfied, for example, a corresponding control signal is received or a corresponding trigger condition is satisfied, and the step is not executed if the condition is not satisfied.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the watchdog timing time of the CPLD is dynamically adjusted by the controller according to the running state of the BIOS, once the BIOS has a problem, the watchdog of the CPLD can be triggered as soon as possible and switched to the standby BIOS for restarting as soon as possible without waiting according to the preset fixed timing time, so that the starting progress is greatly accelerated, and after the main BIOS fails, the CPLD can be redirected to the failed main BIOS through the BIOS verification signal, so that a user can maintain the main BIOS, the maintenance difficulty is reduced, and the maintenance efficiency is improved.
