Description
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of computers, and discloses a method and a device for transmitting BIOS logs through a network.
Background
In the boot process of a Basic Input/output System (BIOS) boot server, scan detection, device initialization, and resource allocation and adaptation are performed on hardware devices on a server motherboard, if a boot failure System is down or other failures occur during the boot process, a start serial port control switch in a BIOS code is often required to be turned on at this time, after a storage option machine is restarted, a BIOS serial port log is collected through a serial port line or through a SOL (Serial Over Lan) interface of a baseboard management controller (Baseboard Management Controller, BMC), and problems are further analyzed and located from the start process of the BIOS.
The BIOS log reflects the running state of the BIOS during the whole process from power-up to system entry of the computer, and is the most common debug means for BIOS engineers. For a computer with an X86 architecture, a log is generated in the running process of the BIOS, and the log can be divided into an 80port log and a COM (serial port) log according to contents. Because the BIOS does not directly output the log, the desire to obtain information must rely on the support of an external embedded chip (BMC, superIO, debug card), and once support is lost (BMC failure, missing or not working), the BIOS log cannot be obtained, which is inconvenient.
COM is indeed somewhat disfavored as an interface developed for decades, and COM port connection lines are less common, which presents some difficulties for debugging personnel. COM ports are rarely used, and BIOS diagnostic cards are more specialized, essentially being owned by only the relevant practitioner. Such interface designs present difficulties to non-professionals lacking tools.
Whether desktop or notebook, server. Their behavior of outputting BIOS logs is all real-time. 80port information, COM information is output in real time, and the BIOS itself has no storage means (because if stored in the memory, the memory will lose information when powered down, if stored in the BIOS ROM, the ROM space is insufficient and data collision with the BIOS itself easily causes BIOS data corruption). The existing BIOS log recording method is in any form, and is essentially to record each piece of data transmitted from the serial port, so as to achieve the purpose of storing the BIOS log.

Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to fall within the scope of the application.
The embodiment of the application provides a method, a device and a computer readable storage medium for transmitting a BIOS log through a network.
In addition, the technical features described above in the different embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other.
Fig. 1-3 are a flow chart of a method for transmitting a BIOS log through a network according to an embodiment of the present application, including: the network card, the debug module, the motherboard, and various hardware devices on the motherboard (the motherboard and various hardware devices on the motherboard may further include more, and the specific number is not limited herein), and the motherboard is a physical Machine of a computer, which is also called a physical server, and is a name of the physical computer relative to a Virtual Machine (Virtual Machine), and the physical Machine provides a hardware environment of the Virtual Machine, which is also called a "host" or a "host".
Referring to fig. 5 and 7, the BIOS log reflects the running state of the BIOS throughout the process from powering up to entering the system, the most conventional debug approach for BIOS engineers. For a computer with an X86 architecture, a log is generated in the running process of the BIOS, and the log can be divided into an 80port log and a COM (serial port) log according to contents. The 80port log is mainly used as an external BIOS diagnostic card, and the BIOS diagnostic card is provided with a transistor for displaying two digits, which is used for displaying what stage the current BIOS is in according to the 80port information (for example, if the transistor information card is at 55, the BIOS detects that the memory is not installed, if the transistor information card is B4, the BIOS detects that the USB device is inserted, etc.). The detailed log information (debug information, etc.) is output through COM.
The COM port is not directly led out by PCH, but is led out by an external embedded controller.
The BIOS log is transmitted to an external embedded control chip by a south bridge (PCH) through an LPC bus, an SPI bus or an eSPI bus, and then the external embedded chip processes information and outputs the processed information to a COM port (namely a serial communication port and a serial port). The embedded controller is EC on a notebook, superIO on a desktop and BMC on a server. Referring to fig. 5, a transmission flow of the entire BIOS log will be described by taking a server as an example.
It should be noted that the 80port log and the COM log belong to the BIOS log (as shown in fig. 4), and are transmitted on the LPC bus, the SPI bus, or the eSPI bus, so that the BIOS diagnostic card, the PCH, and the BMC lines are connected together in the hardware design. In addition, BMC also has the ability to obtain 80port related information (obtained by communicating with BIOS using ipmi commands, not relevant to the discussion of this patent, and not described further herein).
However, with the development of the times, the COM port has the defects of large volume, low utilization rate, old interfaces and the like, the novel notebook has few COM ports in design, and the BIOS log acquisition modes of the notebook without the COM ports are special: a new set of signal lines is led out on the bus (LPC, SPI, eSPI) where PCH and EC communicate information with each other, and a debug interface is made. A special debug card is used to connect the debug interface, and the debug card processes the information and outputs the processed information.
Regardless of the platform, the BIOS indirectly outputs 80port information and COM information. That is, the user can obtain the log information during the running process of the BIOS only by the support of the external embedded chip and the BIOS diagnostic card.
The following will describe in detail. The order of the following examples is not limited to the preferred order of the examples.
A method of transmitting BIOS logs over a network, comprising: initializing the network card preferentially to enable the function of sending data of the network card to be available; before the network card is successfully initialized, generating an early BIOS log according to the state and operation of hardware equipment on a main board; after the network card is successfully initialized, generating a later BIOS log according to the state and operation of hardware equipment on a main board; transmitting the early BIOS log and the later BIOS log to the network card through a debuglib module; and sending the early BIOS log and the later BIOS log to a given IPV4 address through the network card.
It should be noted that: as illustrated in fig. 6, from machine power up to system entry, the BIOS may go through approximately 4 stages, in order SEC, PEI, DXE, BDS, respectively. In the method, partial contents in PEI and DXE phases in the BIOS operation process are adjusted and reconstructed, so that the BIOS initializes and starts the mainboard network card adapter in the early DXE phase, and a network is utilized to send the BIOS log to a designated IPV4 address.
This has the following advantages:
(1) The BIOS log can be output without external embedded chip support. And the BIOS log can be independently output to the outside under the condition that an external embedded chip (BMC, super IO) does not work, so as to reflect the starting condition of the machine.
(2) The way of outputting the log is simpler and more general. The purpose of this patent is to let BIOS utilize the network to send the log, and the computer is unlikely to not have the net gape, and whether it is wired net gape or WIFI module, the network is one of the especially important parts of computer. By using the network transmission log, a professional tool can be omitted, and the log (COM log) of the BIOS and the current running state (80 port information) can be directly checked on another computer.
(3) A new method of storing BIOS logs is provided. The BIOS may use a network to send log information to a web server specifying an IPV4 address, which logs the received BIOS. The process is in parallel relation with the traditional COM receiving and storing BIOS logs, and the process and the traditional COM receiving and storing BIOS logs are not mutually influenced.
In one embodiment, the early BIOS log comprises: a first early BIOS log of a stage before the completion of the memory initialization and a second early BIOS log of a stage after the completion of the memory initialization.
In some embodiments, the first early BIOS log is obtained and temporarily stored in a CPU cache; after the memory initialization is completed, acquiring the second early BIOS log and storing the second early BIOS log into the memory; and acquiring the first early BIOS log temporarily stored in the CPU cache, and storing the first early BIOS log into the memory.
It should be noted that: the log before the network card is started is processed as follows: the method mainly comprises the steps of relatively few logs of cores in a PEI phase and a DXE phase, modifying BIOS codes, firstly storing the first early BIOS log in a CPU cache temporarily, and transmitting the first early BIOS log stored in the CPU cache temporarily to a designated area of a memory space after the initialization of the memory is completed, wherein the generated BIOS log, namely the second early BIOS log, is synchronously stored in the designated area of the memory space after the initialization of the memory is completed and before the initialization of a network card is completed. And after the network card in the DXE stage is started, the early BIOS log information of the memory space is transmitted out through the network.
The memory space of PEI and DXE phases is different: the DXE phase uses system memory, but the PEI phase is not. The PEI late system memory is initialized to be available, and the CPU cache is used before the PEI late system memory is initialized to be available.
The design also needs to modify BIOS codes, so that the BIOS stores the log information of the PEI in the CPU buffer memory in an additional backup way, and after the initialization of the system memory of the PEI in the later stage is finished, when the BIOS is switched from the temporary memory to the system memory, the information of the memory area for storing the BIOS log is transferred to the system memory. And then, before the network card is started, the newly generated log information is continuously backed up and stored in the memory area. After the network card is started, all the stored log information is transmitted out and the memory area is released. The network port and COM port then output information together as designed for DXE above until the operating system is successfully loaded.
In one embodiment, initializing the network card preferentially makes the function of sending data of the network card available, including: and preferentially operating the network card driver, initializing the network card, and enabling the network card to be available in a data sending function.
It should be noted that: the SEC phase belongs to the security verification inside the chip. The DXE phase is a phase of initializing a large number of devices (including network cards) and installing drivers. The method is also a stage with the longest duration and the most log information in the whole BIOS operation process. Referring to FIG. 8, a DXE dispatcher of one of the DXE kernel components searches for all DXE drivers in the BIOS rom and executes in a certain order. The network card driver is included.
The execution order of the drivers has a great relationship with "The A Priori File" (a priori) throughout the DXE phase, and in fact the driver order in "The A Priori File" (a priori) is a strong order, and DXE Dispatcher will execute all the drivers it contains strictly in order. After execution, the DXE Dispatcher executes the rest of the drivers in the firmware volume according to the inter-dependency relationship between the drivers.
One of the modified points of this patent: by modifying the BIOS code, the net card driver is added to the DXE driver list contained in "The A Priori File" (a priori file), and other drivers required for driving the net card are also added to "The A Priori File" (a priori file) in an appropriate order according to the interdependence relationship. The purpose of this is to make DXE Dispatcher initialize the network card most preferentially and call the drive of the network card, so that the network card has the capability of transmitting data.
In one embodiment, transmitting the early BIOS log and the late BIOS log to the network card via a debuglib module comprises: acquiring the early BIOS log and the later BIOS log; transmitting the early BIOS log and the later BIOS log to a COM interface and a BIOS diagnostic card through the debuglib module; and simultaneously transmitting the early BIOS log and the later BIOS log to the network card.
It should be noted that: after the network card has the capability of sending data, the debuglib module in the reconstructed BIOS code (the module is the module for outputting the BIOS log) is adjusted, so that the network card is controlled to send the same data to a given IPV4 address when the BIOS log is output. Therefore, after the network card is initialized in the early stage of DXE, the network card driver is loaded, and the network card data sending function is available, the BIOS can also transmit information to the network card when outputting logs, and the network card sends the information to a server with a designated IPV4 address.
In an embodiment, before sending the early BIOS log and the late BIOS log to a given IPV4 address through the network card, further comprises: judging whether the IPV4 address received by the network card is empty or not; if not, judging whether the IPV4 address received by the network card accords with a format; if yes, prompting the user to fill in the IPV4 address.
In an embodiment, determining whether the IPV4 address received by the network card conforms to a format includes: judging whether the IPV4 address received by the network card accords with a format or not; if yes, judging whether the network card is connected with a network; if not, prompting the user that the IPV4 address is wrong.
In an embodiment, determining whether the network card is connected to a network includes: judging whether the network card is connected with a network or not; if yes, sending the BIOS log to the given IPV4 address through a network cable; if not, prompting to connect the network.
It will be appreciated that: the verification stage includes verifying whether the IPV4 address is empty, verifying whether the IPV4 address accords with a format and verifying whether a network is connected, which are all set for realizing that the network card sends the early BIOS log and the later BIOS log to the appointed IPV4 address, and can be set according to the situation of the real equipment.
The IPV4 address mentioned in the design can be added with a related option on the BIOS interface, so that a user can conveniently specify the IPV4 address of the default receiving BIOS log server. This is easier to implement than the option of interacting with the user and receiving user input information.
As can be seen from the above, the method for transmitting the BIOS log through the network according to the embodiment of the present application includes: initializing the network card preferentially to enable the function of sending data of the network card to be available; before the network card is successfully initialized, generating an early BIOS log according to the state and operation of hardware equipment on a main board; after the network card is successfully initialized, generating a later BIOS log according to the state and operation of hardware equipment on a main board; transmitting the early BIOS log and the later BIOS log to the network card through a debuglib module; and sending the early BIOS log and the later BIOS log to a given IPV4 address through the network card. The BIOS log information is sent to a network server of the appointed IPV4 address through a network, and the BIOS log can be directly and remotely checked on another computer through the Internet without depending on external embedded chip support.
