Description

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of computer mainboards, in particular to a mainboard, a computer mainboard management system and a computer mainboard management method.

Background

Network management can be divided into two modes, in-band management and out-of-band management. In-band management refers to that management control information and data information are transmitted by using a unified physical channel, and the biggest defects of in-band management are as follows: when the network is interrupted due to a fault, data transmission and management cannot be normally carried out. The out-of-band management means that data information and management information are transmitted through different channels, the data information and the management information are completely independent, and even if the transmission of the data information is blocked, the transmission of the management information is not influenced.

Existing desktop computers are typically managed out-of-band using a BMC (baseboard manager). However, this solution requires hardware design of the support circuit for implementing BMC, which increases the cost.

In desktop computer platforms, BMCs (baseboard managers) are often used for out-of-band management. The BMC can be used for monitoring the temperature of each key part of the desktop computer and controlling the running speed of the cooling fan, or the BMC is used for exchanging data with the processor to acquire the running information of the computer.

The implementation of BMC in hardware requires the planning of expensive BMC support circuits. Based on this, the embodiment of the application provides a scheme that no BMC is used in the motherboard, so as to reduce cost on the basis of realizing out-of-band management.

In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer motherboard management system, which can implement out-of-band management on a computer, reduce the maintenance difficulty of the computer, and reduce hardware cost.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a main board according to an embodiment of the present application, which includes a main board 10 and a terminal device 300.

The motherboard 10 includes the embedded controller 100 and the communication module 200, and the BMC is not used in the motherboard 10, that is, a supporting circuit of the BMC is not required to be programmed. An embedded controller is a control system that performs specified independent control functions and has the ability to process data in a complex manner. The embedded controller 100 also completes data exchange with other devices through a self-contained serial port or other data exchange modes. The embedded controller 100 and the communication module 200 are connected through a serial port to enable data exchange between the two. The communication module 200 may be a communication device having a wireless communication function, and may acquire information from the outside, such as a terminal apparatus 300 described later, or transmit information to the outside through wireless communication.

The terminal device 300 refers to any device with computing capability or information reading capability that supports a wireless communication function corresponding to the communication module 200, such as a mobile terminal device, a notebook computer, a drone, or other computer device with a wireless communication function. In the embodiment of the present application, the information acquisition and transmission may be realized by installing a program with a UI on the computer device, for example, acquiring management information of the motherboard 10 from the communication module 200, or transmitting control information of the motherboard 10 from the terminal device 300 to the communication module 200.

Fig. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of an embodiment of the main board of the present application.

Referring to fig. 2, the motherboard 10 includes an embedded controller 100, a communication module 200, and a state acquisition module 110, where the state acquisition module 110 is connected to the embedded controller 100 and can acquire state information of the computer and the motherboard. And transmits the state information to the embedded controller 100 according to the first control signal generated by the embedded controller 100. Further, the embedded controller 100 may transmit the status information to the terminal device 300 through the communication module 200.

According to the embodiment of the application, various information in the computer can be collected by using the embedded controller, and the embedded controller is communicated with the terminal device through the communication module, so that out-of-band management can be performed without using a BMC, the maintenance difficulty of the computer is reduced, and the hardware cost is reduced.

In some embodiments, the motherboard further has a control module 120, and the control module 120 is connected to the embedded controller 100 for adjusting the operating state of the computer according to the second control signal. When the terminal device 300 needs to operate or control the computer, the terminal device 300 generates a corresponding second control signal, and the terminal device 300 sends the second control signal to the communication module 200 and then transmits the second control signal to the embedded controller 100, and finally sends the second control signal to the control module 120.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the control module 120 and the state acquisition module 110 are provided on the motherboard and connected to the embedded controller 100. But not limited thereto, the control module 120 and the status collecting module 110 may be virtual modules disposed in the embedded controller 100, or sub-modules belonging to the embedded controller 100. The state collection module 110 can be regarded as long as the information collection function of the computer can be realized, or the control module 120 can be regarded as capable of controlling part of the activities and processes of the computer.

Fig. 3 is a schematic physical structure diagram of an embodiment of the main board of the present application.

In the embodiment of fig. 3, the state collecting module 110 and the control module 120 are virtual modules in the embedded controller 100, and the embedded controller 100 is further connected to the fan module 500, the voltage detecting module 600, the power module 700, the temperature sensing module 800, and the processor 400 in the computer respectively. The bios 401 is a program embedded in a motherboard, and is communicatively connected to the bios 401 of the processor 400 via the processor 400. In some embodiments, the embedded controller 100 may also communicate directly with the basic input output system 401 without going through the processor 400. Thus, the embedded controller 100 can communicate information uni-directionally or bi-directionally with these devices, respectively.

Specifically, the communication can be performed with a module outside the motherboard through a port of the motherboard 10, that is, the fan module 500, the voltage detection module 600, the power module 700, and the temperature sensing module 800 are connected to a certain port of the motherboard 10, and further connected to the embedded controller 100 connected to another port of the motherboard 10 in a communication manner. The embedded controller 100 may be independent of the motherboard 10 to some extent.

With reference to fig. 2 to fig. 3, the status acquisition module 110 built in the embedded controller 100 is communicatively connected to the fan module 500, the voltage detection module 600, the power module 700, the temperature sensing module 800, and the bios 401 through the embedded controller 100, and may actively or passively acquire, for example, operation information of the fan module 500, voltage information of a preset acquisition point in a motherboard, power status information of the power module 700, temperature information of a component to be acquired in a computer, first status information in a processor, and second status information in the bios 401.

Specifically, the motherboard 10 manages the power module 700 of the entire motherboard 10 through the embedded controller 100, obtains power state information of the power module 700, and controls switches of each stage of the power module 700 through GPIO (port expander). After the computer enters a starting state, the computer communicates with the processor through an LPC (low pin count) bus and acquires system state information. And is used to regulate the fan module 500, for example, to control the rotation speed of the fan module 500 by PWM (pulse width modulation), or to obtain the operation information of the fan module 500. The embedded controller 100 also builds a voltage detection circuit, i.e., a voltage detection module 600, by means of ADC (digital to analog conversion), so as to perform a key voltage, i.e., a preset collection point voltage, on the motherboard 10. Voltage information is obtained through acquisition point voltage detection, such as detection of processor voltage, storage voltage and memory voltage. The embedded controller 100 also obtains temperature information 132 through SMBUS (system management bus) to obtain readings of various temperature sensors and temperature sensing modules 800, which are located in locations where the processor, memory, power supply, etc. are prone to temperature increases. Or various types of information stored in the bios 401 may be obtained from the bios 401 through a connection to the processor 400.

Therefore, in conjunction with fig. 2, the status information module 110 in the motherboard 10 can read the operation information, the temperature information, the voltage information, the power status information, and the system status information of the fan module through the fan information collecting unit 131, the temperature information collecting unit 132, the voltage information collecting unit 133, the power status information collecting unit 134, and the system information collecting unit 135. The control module 120 may perform power control, fan speed control, and system control via the power control unit 121, the fan control unit 122, and the system control unit 123.

More specifically, after the computer itself enters the startup state, the computer processor 400 initializes through the bios 401, and during the initialization of the bios 401, the LOC bus of the processor 400 communicates with the embedded controller 100, and at this time, sends the contents of the SMBIOS table, the processor serial number, the bios 401 execution phase, and the like to the embedded controller 100. After the initialization of the processor 400 is completed, the processor 400 transmits system state information and a status code of the bios 401 to the embedded controller 100.

In some embodiments, the communication module 200 is actually a part of the embedded controller 100, i.e., a wireless communication module in which the embedded controller 100 itself has an information transceiving function. The communication module 200 may also be a separate device from the embedded controller 100 connected to the embedded controller 100 via a port in some embodiments, and its functionality may not be limited to wireless communication functions, but with computing capabilities or other sensors, as such a separate device would contain a wireless communication module.

The type of the communication module 200 is not limited, and in view of the use cost, the communication module may use bluetooth, a bluetooth mesh network, zigBee, WIFI, or the like, or may complete wireless communication through a mobile network or other radio signals.

Based on the above embodiment, the embedded controller 100 can obtain voltage information, temperature information, system status information, fan information, and power status information of the motherboard 10, and can control the power module 700 and the fan module 500, and control the system through system control. And exchanges information with the terminal device 300 through wireless communication modes such as bluetooth, zigBee, bluetooth mesh, WIFI, and the like.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 3, the embedded controller 100 may obtain information or transmit instructions through electrical or communication connections with the fan module 500, the temperature sensing module 800, the voltage detecting module 600, the bios 401, the processor 400, and the power supply 600, specifically, obtain voltage information, temperature information, system status information, fan information, system status information, status codes of the bios, the SMBIOS table, the processor serial number, the motherboard serial number, battery information, a computer operating state, and the like of the motherboard, and control the power supply module 700 and the fan module 500.

In order to reduce the power consumption of the embedded controller 100, the embedded controller 100 does not collect all the information described above all the time, and the collected information is divided into three levels according to the state of the power module 700, or the state of the computer, or the initialization state of the embedded controller, where the three levels are:

the first-level information, that is, the non-use information, only needs to be acquired once, and may include, but is not limited to, an SMBIOS table, a processor serial number, battery information, and a motherboard serial number in the basic input output system 401;

the second level information, i.e. the necessary information, is obtained by periodic inspection after the embedded controller 100 is initialized, and may include, but is not limited to, voltage information, temperature information, and power status information;

the third level information, which is runtime information, needs to be periodically obtained when the computer is in a working state, and includes system state information, a state code of the bios 401, and the like.

Correspondingly, when the information is obtained, the embedded controller 100 sends out a first sub-control signal, a second sub-control signal, and a third sub-control signal. Specifically, after the embedded controller 100 completes initialization, a first sub-control signal is generated to obtain first-level information, after the initialization is completed, a second sub-control signal is generated according to a preset period to obtain second-level information, and when the computer works, a third sub-control signal is generated according to a preset period to obtain third-level information.

The embedded controller 100 can also transmit control information to other components, which is an instruction transmitted by the embedded controller 100 to other components, and the information can be regarded as fourth-level information, for example, the power module 700 is controlled by adjusting switches of each level of the power module 700, the rotating speed of the fan module 500 is adjusted, and the like.

The application also provides a computer mainboard management system, which comprises the mainboard; the terminal equipment is in communication connection with the mainboard and used for acquiring the state information and sending a second control signal to the communication module; the communication module is used for receiving the second control signal, and the terminal device is used for receiving the state information.

The terminal device 500 is a computing device with wireless communication, and in the embodiment of fig. 2, may be a mobile phone with bluetooth function, where the mobile phone is installed with software supporting the embodiment of the present application, and implements receiving and sending of information with the software, analyzes obtained data, and transmits information to a user in a graphical form, or transmits an instruction to a bluetooth module according to a command of the user. Before information is transferred with the communication module 200, the software performs authentication with the embedded controller 100, and the information transfer is started after the authentication is passed.

The present application further provides a computer motherboard management method, applied to the motherboard or the computer motherboard management system, as shown in fig. 3, including:

s110, the embedded controller generates a first control signal;

s120, according to the first control signal, the state acquisition module transmits state information to the embedded controller;

Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments, before S220, further comprising:

s320, the embedded controller acquires feedback information generated by the terminal equipment according to the verification information;

and S330, the embedded controller determines the communication connection state with the terminal equipment according to the verification information and the feedback information.

The operation of the method for managing the motherboard of the computer will be described below, and after the complete computer is powered on, the embedded controller 100 will perform initialization, which may include initialization of the communication module 200 and initialization of the power module 700. After the initialization is completed, the embedded controller 100 will periodically acquire the first-level information, and then the embedded controller 100 establishes wireless communication connection with the terminal device 500 through the communication module 200, at this time, the identity of the connected party will need to be verified, and if the verification fails, information will not be exchanged with the terminal device 500.

Specifically, the embedded controller 100 generates the verification information and sends the verification information to the terminal device 500; the embedded controller 100 acquires feedback information generated by the terminal device 500 according to the verification information; the embedded controller 100 determines a communication connection state with the terminal device 500 according to the authentication information and the feedback information.

After the computer complete machine enters the startup state, the processor 400 initializes through the bios 401, and at this time, the bios 401 may exchange data with the embedded controller 100 through the LPC bus, for example, the embedded controller 100 may obtain the second-level information or the status information of the bios from the bios and the processor, and at this stage, if the bios fails to start, the embedded controller 100 may store the status information of the bios 401 to assist in subsequent fault diagnosis. In the embodiment of fig. 2, the computer may be an OPS computer, which is used for a smart blackboard with difficult assembly and maintenance, using a soar desktop platform. Maintenance is difficult without tape management.

After the computer is completely started, the embedded controller 100 will periodically obtain the third level information.

In summary, when the user is performing computer maintenance, the user can use the mobile phone to obtain information to quickly locate the fault occurrence location. Or the user acquires the fault information and remotely transmits the fault information to the professional institution, so that the professional institution can help the user to maintain the computer through remote assistance.

Based on the use scene, in some embodiments, the communication module is a bluetooth module instead of a ZigBee module or a WIFI module, which has the following beneficial effects: the ZigBee equipment is not mainstream terminal equipment, so the ZigBee scheme can be used only by customizing the terminal equipment, and only mobile phone software needs to be downloaded by using a Bluetooth module; although WIFI is a common wireless solution, its power consumption far exceeds ZigBee and bluetooth, and for some terminal products using a battery or computers in this embodiment using a battery, the WIFI solution may reduce cruising ability.

Therefore, the embodiment of fig. 3 can complete the out-of-band management of the computer without using the BMC, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty of the computer and reducing the hardware cost.

In the above-described embodiment, although it is mentioned that the communication module 200 may be a communication device having a wireless communication function, it does not imply that the communication module 200 is a separate device installed outside the embedded controller 100. The communication module 200 may be a stand-alone device outside the embedded controller 100 or a component that is internal to the embedded controller 100.

In the above embodiments, reference is made to the computer being an OPS computer installed on an intelligent blackboard, but is not limited thereto, and in some embodiments, the computer is an on-board computer of an on-board system, or a core computer system of other internet-of-things devices or other desktop computers.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention.
