For example, the BMC (Baseboard Manager Controller, baseboard management controller) is used as a baseboard management system on a server, and is mainly responsible for important functions of asset information display, hardware monitoring, heat dissipation regulation, system configuration, remote monitoring, log collection, fault diagnosis, system maintenance and the like of the server. The server BMC having the PFR (Platform Firmware Resilience) function is divided into an active area (i.e., active area), a recovery area (i.e., recovery area), and a staging area (i.e., status area), and the BMC starts from the active area. When the active area is damaged, the server may restore the active area using the restore area. When the recovery area and the active area are damaged at the same time, the server can recover the recovery area by using the temporary storage area and recover the active area by using the recovery area again, so that the temporary storage area is the last guarantee that the BMC can be started normally.
However, the temporary storage area and the active area of the BMC are usually stored in the same flash chip, when the active area is destroyed, it is difficult to ensure that the temporary storage area is not destroyed, and at this time, if the recovery area is also destroyed, the server cannot be started. In addition, the temporary storage area is emptied every time the BMC is updated by burning the chip.

In this embodiment, a communication connection link may be established between a standard interface provided by the embedded multimedia card and the baseboard management controller supporting the platform firmware protection recovery function server. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 shows a communication connection link between a BMC of a server and a memory chip of an embedded multimedia card (eMMC, embedded Multi Media Card), and in fig. 3, the BMC is in hardware communication with the embedded multimedia card through four communication links, namely CLK, date Strobe, CMD, DAT0-7, and the interface speed is up to 400Mbytes per second, so that a log file of the BMC can be ensured to be quickly and accurately stored in the embedded multimedia card.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 shows a process flow diagram of a method for storing firmware data in a temporary storage area of a baseboard management controller, and in fig. 4, after a server is powered on to start the baseboard management controller, an embedded multimedia card is loaded through a communication connection link created between the baseboard management controller based on the server and the embedded multimedia card in advance, so that the baseboard management controller is mounted on the embedded multimedia card. Further, after the embedded multimedia card is mounted on the baseboard management controller, the baseboard management controller further detects whether the mounting is successful, as shown in fig. 5, whether the embedded multimedia card is mounted with the baseboard management controller is successful or not can be detected through a preset program instruction, and log alarm prompt information of 'Disk non exists, please check hardware' is displayed when the communication connection link is not successful; if the mount is successful, the judging instruction of whether the temporary storage partition for storing the firmware data exists is continuously executed, if the "Partition not exist now, create it" is displayed, the temporary storage partition does not exist and the corresponding temporary storage partition needs to be created.

The target firmware data are firmware data which are sent to the embedded multimedia card from the temporary storage area of the baseboard management controller to be stored when the temporary storage area is not damaged in advance.
In this embodiment, the performing data recovery on the temporary storage area, the recovery area, and the active area in the baseboard management controller by using the target firmware data read from the embedded multimedia card may specifically include: performing data recovery on the temporary storage area of the baseboard management controller by using the target firmware data read from the embedded multimedia card; restoring the restoration area of the baseboard management controller by using the restored temporary storage area; and restoring the active area of the baseboard management controller by using the restored active area so as to start the baseboard management controller by using the restored active area. It can be understood that, after the data loss event occurs in the temporary storage area, the recovery area and the active area, the baseboard management controller can obtain the target firmware data by reading the data from the embedded multimedia card, so that the temporary storage area of the baseboard management controller can be recovered by using the read target firmware data, then the recovery area of the baseboard management controller is recovered by using the recovered temporary storage area, the active area of the baseboard management controller is recovered by using the recovered recovery area, and the baseboard management controller is started by using the recovered active area.
