In this embodiment, a method for obtaining device information, which is executed in the mobile terminal described above, is provided, and fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for obtaining device information according to an embodiment of the present application, where as shown in fig. 2, the flowchart includes the following steps:

step S202, the baseboard management controller of the server side inquires the equipment information of the equipment side according to the first inquiry mode.

The BMC, which is called a Baseboard Management Controller in english, can perform operations such as firmware upgrade and checking of machine devices on a machine in a state where the machine is not powered on. Fully implementing IPMI functionality in a BMC requires a powerful 16-bit or 32-bit microcontroller as well as RAM for data storage, flash memory for non-volatile data storage.

As an optional embodiment of the present application, the device side is a GPU in a GPU BOX, and may also be other devices such as an intelligent network card.

A GPU, i.e. a graphics processor, also called a display core, a visual processor, and a display chip, is a microprocessor that is dedicated to image and graphics related operations on personal computers, workstations, game machines, and some mobile devices (e.g. tablet computers, smart phones, etc.).

When step S202 is executed, the bmc of the server sends an inquiry instruction to the device according to the first inquiry manner, and after receiving the inquiry instruction, the device returns information that the inquiry instruction needs to inquire to the bmc of the server in response to the inquiry instruction, that is, completes one inquiry. For example, the baseboard management controller at the server end wants to query the operating parameters of the GPU, and with the above method, after receiving the query instruction, the GPU encapsulates the relevant operating parameters into a data packet, and returns the data packet to the baseboard management controller at the server end.

And step S204, under the condition that the equipment information is unsuccessfully inquired according to the first inquiry mode, the baseboard management controller of the server side inquires the equipment information of the equipment side according to the second inquiry mode.

It should be noted that the second query method and the first query method are two different query methods.

In this step, if the server-side board management controller does not receive the device information returned by the device side after exceeding the preset time, it indicates that the query of the device-side information fails. And under the condition that the equipment end is failed to be inquired, the service end base plate management controller continuously adopts another inquiry mode different from the first inquiry mode to inquire the equipment information of the equipment end.

Step S206, under the condition that the equipment information is successfully inquired according to the first inquiry mode or the equipment information is successfully inquired according to the second inquiry mode, the inquired equipment information is stored at the server side.

Through the steps, the information of each component in the GPU BOX can be synchronized to the server-side BMC in real time, so that the problems of high labor cost and time cost caused by the fact that the information of each component in the server and the GPU BOX needs to be separately monitored and managed in the related technology can be solved, the integrated management of the server and the GPU BOX information is achieved, the investment of labor and time cost is reduced, and the effect of objective economic benefit is achieved.

The execution subject of the above steps may be a server, but is not limited thereto.

Under the condition that access to the BMC at the GPU BOX end fails in a network mode, the BMC at the server end sends an IPMI command to the BMC at the GPU BOX end in an Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) mode so as to acquire information of a component of the GPU BOX end or sensor information.

And the server-side baseboard management controller BMC accesses the GPU BOX terminal BMC in a polling mode at intervals of preset duration so as to realize real-time synchronization of the GPU BOX terminal information as much as possible.

The server side baseboard management controller BMC accesses the GPU BOX side baseboard management controller BMC in a network mode, and accesses the server side baseboard management controller BMC in an intelligent platform management bus IPMB mode under the condition of access failure. By the method, the probability of failure in real-time acquisition of the GPU BOX terminal information can be effectively reduced.

In an alternative embodiment, the IPMI command may be used to query the GPU BOX side component information or the sensor information from the shared memory of the server-side board management controller BMC, and then send the queried component information or sensor information to the terminal device.

According to an alternative embodiment of the present application, the first query instruction and the second query instruction are intelligent platform management interface commands.

In another optional embodiment of the present application, a preset application program interface is set in the baseboard management controller at the server side, and after the server side stores the queried device information, the device information stored at the server side is sent to a front-end interface of the baseboard management controller at the server side by using the preset application program interface for displaying.

For the key sensor information, a Restful interface can be added in the BMC of the server end to display the key sensor information on a WEB page of the BMC of the base board management controller of the server end.
