Server Management typically uses a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) to query and manage the hardware of the server, such as: the user can check hardware information such as a CPU, a memory, a network card, a GPU, a hard disk, and the like configured by the server through the BMC, and can also change a Setup option of a BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) through the BMC. These configurations of the server can be exposed through an API interface of a RESTful (Representational State Transfer) of the BMC, and a user can conveniently query and modify data through a URL, where data transmission is based on json (javascript Object notification) language.
At present, when a BIOS is powered on, asset information and a current BIOS SETUP option value are mainly sent to a BMC through an IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) command, the asset information and the current BIOS SETUP option value are packaged into a JSON format inside the BMC for a user to query, and meanwhile, the option value sent by the BIOS is transferred into the JSON format and exposed to a RESTful Interface. Or when the BIOS is started, asset information in a JSON format and the current BIOS SETUP option value are sent to the BMC in a LAN OVERUSB mode, and the BMC exposes the asset information in the JSON format and the current BIOS SETUP option value to a RESTful API interface for a user to use. Therefore, IPMI command interaction of the BIOS and the BMC must be completely defined in advance, any newly added equipment and BIOS options need to be realized again by the BIOS and the BMC, versions of the BIOS and the BMC are in a strong coupling relation, and unpredictable results can occur when wrong version collocation is carried out. And the BIOS needs to wait for the BMC to boot and interact completely. In addition, for the accidental BMC exception, the next boot BMC cannot realize the inquiry of the asset information and the management of the BIOS option function.

And dividing a part of the video memory in the BMC of the server, and taking the divided part of the video memory as a shared memory area of the CPU and the BMC of the HOST. Therefore, all addresses of the shared Memory area can be accessed at the HOST end in a Memory-mapped I/O (Memory-mapped I/O) mode, and the BMC can also access all addresses of the shared Memory area in a Memory-mapped mode.
Therefore, in the process of designing the BMC and the BIOS based on the CPU operation, the embodiment of the invention can design the data interaction flow by taking the shared memory as the center. For example: the BIOS is responsible for collecting server SETUP option information and CPU supported by the BIOS, asset information of devices such as an external device and MEMORY connected through an interface conforming to PCIE (Peripheral component interconnect Express, high-speed serial computer extended bus standard), and sending the asset information to the BMC according to Redfish Schema (management standard mode based on HTTPs services) standard. The BIOS also receives a request from the BMC to modify the BIOS's SETUP option information. And the BMC is mainly responsible for analyzing the asset information sent by the BIOS and modifying the request data of the SETUP option information of the BIOS, and is exposed to a RESTful API user interface after processing. And the HOST terminal and the BMC adopt a mode of sharing a memory area, data transmission can be carried out through an interface conforming to PCIE, the transmission rate is greatly improved, the starting time of the BIOS is effectively shortened, and the starting time of the whole electronic equipment is further prompted. For example, through practice, the BIOS start time of the electronic device using the technical scheme of the present application can be shortened from 50 seconds to within 2 seconds, and the overall start time of the electronic device can be reduced by about 25%.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an implementation of a device information management method of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Fig. 3 is a schematic implementation flow diagram of a device information management method of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 3, the device information management method of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a baseboard management control unit of the electronic device, and at least includes the following operation flows:
in operation 301, asset information and current setting information of an electronic device are obtained from a shared memory area, the shared memory area is configured in a baseboard management control unit, and the shared memory area can be accessed by a main control unit and the baseboard management control unit.
In this embodiment of the present invention, before the asset information and the current setting information of the electronic device are obtained from the shared memory area, a collection completion instruction sent by the main control unit of the electronic device is monitored, and the collection completion instruction is used to characterize that the main control unit of the electronic device completes collection of the asset information and the current setting information of the electronic device.
At operation 302, asset information and current settings information are parsed.
In the embodiment of the invention, the asset information obtained by analysis can be displayed in a set form, so that the user can conveniently check the asset information. Here, the display may be performed when the user views the asset information of the electronic device through a preset operation, or may be performed in a preset form by default on the asset information obtained through the analysis at a preset time.
In operation 303, a change operation for the current setting information is monitored.
At operation 304, a change request is sent to the shared memory area when a change operation is monitored.
The specific implementation processes of operations 301 to 304 are similar to the specific implementation processes of operations 201 to 203 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and are not described here again.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an implementation flow of a specific application example of the device information management method of the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 4, a specific application example of the device information management method of the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present invention at least includes:
at operation 401, the BIOS starts. For example: and receiving a BIOS starting instruction.
At operation 402, the BIOS reads data from the shared memory region and determines whether the data in the shared memory region is valid. If so, operation 403 is performed, and if not, operation 404 is performed.
At operation 403, the BIOS continues to read data from the shared memory area and determines whether there is an option change request from the BMC. If so, then operation 405 is performed, and if not, then operations 406 and 407 are performed.
At operation 404, the shared memory region is reset.
In this embodiment of the present invention, resetting the shared memory region may be formatting the shared memory region. For example, the data format of the shared memory area may be initialized with the name of the data to be exchanged in a predefined format, and the start address and the length are predefined, for example: header file + string format of setting field + other setting contents.
At operation 405, the option change request is parsed and applied.
In this embodiment of the present invention, when an option change request of the SETUP option information is received from the BMC, the current SETUP option information may be read from the shared memory area, and the BIOS may be restarted to validate the modification of the SETUP option information by the user.
In operation 406, SETUP option information is collected and edited into JSON format.
At operation 407, asset information is collected and compiled into JSON format.
In this embodiment of the present invention, if the BIOS determines that the user has not made a change request to the SETUP option of the BMC according to the asset information and the SETUP information of the SETUP option information read from the shared memory area, it may be determined that the SETUP information and the asset information read by the BIOS are the latest SETUP information and the latest asset information of the electronic device at present. At this time, the SETUP option information and the asset information may be edited into JSON format and written into the shared memory area.
In the embodiment of the invention, the reason why the SETUP option information and the asset information are both edited into JSON to be stored in the shared memory area is that the JSON format is a data format defined by a redfish interface, and the format has high expandability and readability. In the practical application process, other data formats with strong expandability and readability can be adopted, and the technical scheme of the invention is not limited here.
In addition, the order of operation 406 and operation 407 may be set according to practical situations, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
At operation 408, it is determined whether the BMC has initialized.
In this embodiment of the present invention, operation 408 is used to determine whether the BMC has been initialized, for example, after the initialization of the PCIE device is completed, it may be determined that all hardware devices such as a video card, a network card, and a hard disk of the electronic device are available, and at this time, read/write operation may be performed on the shared memory. Here, if the BMC initialization is completed, operation 410 is executed, and if the BMC initialization is not completed, operation 408 is periodically and repeatedly executed to detect whether the BMC initialization is completed.
At operation 409, the BMC starts.
At operation 410, SETUP option information and asset information are parsed.
In this embodiment of the present invention, after the BMC starts the process, the SETUP option information and the asset information may be read from the shared memory area and analyzed.
Operation 411, SETUP option information.
Operation 412, asset information.
In operation 413, it is determined whether the user has modified the SETUP option information. If so, the modification of the SETUP option information by the user is written into the shared memory area, otherwise, operation 413 is performed again at set intervals.
At operation 414, the WEB displays and supports RESTful queries. Here, the display and viewing mode of the asset information may be set according to actual requirements, which is not limited in the present invention.

Therefore, the BIOS can be started normally only under the condition that the BMC UBOOT (boot loader system) is started without depending on a virtual USB device or (based on the management standard of the HTTPs service) service, and the problem that the BIOS needs to wait for the BMC initialization to cause overlong starting time when the BIOS is started is effectively solved. Furthermore, because the BIOS can write data in the shared memory area without waiting for the BMC to start the kernel, the problem that the asset information of the electronic device cannot be inquired and the BIOS options cannot be managed after the BMC is started due to an abnormal BMC can be effectively solved.
