Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, and with reference to fig. 1, the electronic device includes: an embedded controller 10 and a basic input output system chip 20.

And the bios chip 20 is configured to store running programs respectively matched with at least two types of chips, where the at least two types of chips are chips controlled by the embedded controller.

In this embodiment, the Basic Input Output System (Basic Input Output System-BIOS) is stored in the Basic Input Output System chip 20, and the Basic Input Output System stores at least two types of running programs respectively matched with the chips. At least two types of chips are chips which are controlled by an embedded controller and involve material change.

By way of example, the chip controlled by the embedded controller 10 includes chips of item a and item B, where item a may be divided into an α material chip and a β material chip, and item B may include an α material chip and a β material chip. The basic input/output system may include an operation program of the a-project α material chip, an operation program of the a-project β material chip, an operation program of the B-project α material chip, and an operation program of the B-project β material chip.

The embedded controller 10(embedded controller-EC) is used to implement a dynamic update method of the running program described below.

In this embodiment, the running programs in the embedded controller 10 are all in the form of bin files, and each bin file may be referred to as a firmware. The embedded controller 10 obtains firmware from the BIOS.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may be a notebook, or may be other devices having the embedded controller 10 and the bios chip 20. For convenience of description, the electronic device is used as a notebook in the present application.

The following describes the dynamic update method of the running program according to the embodiment of the present application in detail with reference to fig. 1.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic flow chart of a dynamic update method for running programs provided by the present application, and referring to fig. 2, the method is described in detail as follows:

s101, responding to a first starting instruction, and acquiring a first running program, wherein the first running program is any running program which is stored in the electronic equipment and can start the electronic equipment.

In this embodiment, after receiving the first boot instruction, the embedded controller obtains the first running program from the bios. The first start instruction may be a power-on instruction when the notebook is run for the first time. The first operating program may be any operating program stored in the bios.

In this embodiment, the first running program may be any kind of running program for chip matching.

For example, if the BIOS stores an operating program of the a-item α material chip and an operating program of the a-item β material chip. The first operation program may be an operation program of the a-project α material chip, or an operation program of the a-project β material chip.

Specifically, after receiving the first power-on instruction, the EC may send a program acquisition instruction to the BIOS, and the BIOS randomly assembles an operating program after acquiring the program acquisition instruction sent by the EC.

And S102, operating the first operating program to obtain the type information of the chip controlled by the embedded controller.

In this embodiment, the first running program may include a first sub-program and a second sub-program, where the first sub-program is used to start the electronic device and read the category information of the chip. The second subprogram is used for configuring the chip and controlling the operation of the chip.

Specifically, when the first running program is run, the first sub-program is run first, and the second sub-program is not run first. The level signal of a general input/output port pin in the embedded controller is read by operating a first subprogram in a first operating program, and then the type information of the chip is determined according to the level signal.

In this embodiment, the embedded controller includes at least one general purpose input/output pin, and the general purpose input/output pin in the embedded controller is connected to the chip. Different level signals of the universal input/output port pin represent different kinds of information of the chip, and equipment can be specifically carried out according to requirements. The category information of the chip may include item types of the chip and materials of the chip, the item types may be used to characterize the role of the chip, and the like. Different level signals for a common i/o pin may correspond to different materials for an item of chip.

In this embodiment, the level signals of the corresponding general input/output port pins of different types of chips are different. Specifically, different types of chips pull the level signal of the general input/output port pin low or high. For example, the a-item α material chip pulls up the level signal of the gpio pin 1 to a high level signal, and the a-item β material chip pulls down the level signal of the gpio pin 1 to a low level signal.

By way of example, if the embedded controller includes two general purpose input/output pins, respectively designated as a first pin and a second pin. The high level of the first pin can be used for characterizing an A item alpha material chip, the low level of the first pin can be used for characterizing an A item beta material chip, the high level of the second pin can be used for characterizing a B item alpha material chip, and the low level of the second pin can be used for characterizing a B item beta material chip.

S103, when the first running program is not matched with the type information of the chip, a second running program matched with the type information of the chip is obtained, wherein the running programs corresponding to different types of chips are stored in the electronic equipment, and the second running program is used for realizing the control of the embedded controller on the chip.

In this embodiment, after obtaining the kind information of the chip, it may be determined whether the first running program matches the kind information of the chip. If the first running program is not matched with the category information, the first running program is not a program for running the chip, the chip cannot be controlled, and the running program matched with the chip needs to be found again to achieve the purpose of controlling the running of the chip. The specific first running program is specifically matched with which kind of information, and is already acquired when the EC acquires the program from the BIOS.

In this embodiment, the mismatch between the operation program and the type information of the chip indicates that the operation program is not a program for operating the chip, and the operation program cannot achieve the effect of operating the chip. Otherwise, it can be determined that the running program is a program for running the chip.

As an example, if the first run program is a program that runs a chip of the a-project α material, and the obtained kind information of the chip is the β material of the a-project, the first run program does not match the kind information.

In this embodiment, the second running program may be obtained from the BIOS.

In this embodiment, if the first running program matches the type information of the chip, the second subprogram in the first running program is run to configure the chip and control the chip to run.

In the embodiment of the application, an embedded controller responds to a first starting instruction to obtain a first running program, the first running program is run to obtain the type information of a chip controlled by the embedded controller, and when the first running program is not matched with the type information of the chip, a second running program matched with the type information of the chip is obtained; according to the method and the device, the type information of the chip is acquired, the required running program is determined according to the type information, manual intervention selection is not needed, and automatic updating of the running program in the embedded controller is achieved. The application stores the running programs of various chips in the BIOS, completes the normalization processing of the programs, and can complete the composition by using the same BIOS when the notebook is assembled, so that the BIOS does not need to be replaced according to the types of the chips, and the production efficiency of the notebook is improved.

As shown in fig. 3, in a possible implementation manner, the implementation process of step S103 may include:

and S1031, sending the type information of the chip to the basic input/output system, wherein the type information of the chip is used for indicating the basic input/output system to obtain the second running program based on the type information of the chip, and sending a completion notification to the embedded controller after the second running program is obtained.

In this embodiment, after the EC obtains the type information of the chip, an operation program matched with the type information of the chip needs to be obtained from the BIOS, which is referred to as a second operation program in this application. Specifically, after obtaining the type information of the chip sent by the EC, the BIOS may search for or assemble a second running program corresponding to the type information based on the type information of the chip. After the second running program is found by the BIOS, other running programs in the BIOS can be deleted, and only the second running program is left in the BIOS, so that data stored in the BIOS is reduced, and the storage space is saved.

S1032, after receiving the completion notification sent by the basic input output system, acquiring the second running program from the basic input output system, and covering the first running program with the second running program.

In this embodiment, after receiving the completion notification sent by the BIOS, the EC acquires the second running program by using a software mirror image method, and stores the second running program, so as to ensure that the second running program can be directly run when the notebook is powered on next time, and the running program in the embedded controller does not need to be updated in each running process after the notebook.

In a possible implementation manner, after step S103, the method may further include:

and responding to a second starting-up instruction, and operating the second operating program, wherein the second starting-up instruction is any starting-up instruction after the first starting-up instruction.

In this embodiment, the notebook computer may be restarted after the second running program is obtained, and the notebook computer may run the second running program after the notebook computer is restarted.

Specifically, the second running program may include a third subroutine and a fourth subroutine. The first subprogram may be the same as the first subprogram in the first running program, and the third subprogram and the first subprogram are both programs for starting the notebook and reading the category information of the chip. The fourth subprogram is used for configuring the corresponding chip and controlling the chip to operate.

Specifically, after a second start instruction is received, a third subprogram in a second running program is run to obtain the type information of the chip controlled by the embedded controller, and since the second running program is a running program matched with the type information of the chip, the chip can be configured and controlled to run based on the second running program, that is, the fourth subprogram can be directly run to configure and control the chip to run.

According to the method and the device, the running program in the EC only needs to be updated when the computer is started for the first time, the correct running program is found after the computer is started for the first time, and the running program in the EC does not need to be updated in the running process of the notebook computer later, so that the running time of the notebook computer is saved.

It should be understood that, the sequence numbers of the steps in the foregoing embodiments do not imply an execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
