After the server is powered on and started up by the power supply, initialization before entering an operating System, such as a central processing unit, a memory, a driver and the like, is completed by a firmware BIOS (basic input/Output System). When the operating system is started, some peripheral devices are initialized, for example, a Linux boot is a Linux system firmware, which contains a Linux system kernel driver and other Linux-based optional functions, and is exemplified by a BIOS (unified extensible firmware interface) based on a BIOS interface specification, so that the peripheral device initialization in the DXE/BDS stage can be replaced by the Linux boot to a certain extent, and the system is more smoothly transited into the Linux of the operating system.
In the prior art, the system firmware is generally packaged into the mirror image of the BIOS with partial DXE/BDS functions removed for execution, and the method has the advantages of avoiding repeated execution of the same peripheral initialization operation, reducing the starting time and completing smooth transition from the BIOS to the Linux, and has the defects of being limited by the RomLayout space address, the size and the like of the BIOS chip, so that the system firmware is subject to space constraint, has poor system expansibility and is unfavorable for quick starting of the system firmware. The system firmware starting scheme provided by the application can quickly start the system firmware.

The type of the preset storage address can be dynamically adjusted according to specific application scenarios, and the application is not specifically limited herein.
Step S103: and determining the target system firmware image to be started based on the preset storage address.
In practical application, after the BIOS reads the preset storage address from the BIOS image, the target system firmware image to be started may be determined based on the preset storage address, so as to start the corresponding target system firmware later.
In a specific application scenario, when the BIOS image is compiled, an independent module may be created by means of inf file configuration to execute the system firmware image, in the module, the address of the agreed system firmware image may be written, that is, the preset storage address may be written, so when the BIOS executes to the module, the system firmware may be executed from the preset storage address by means of StartImage.
It should be noted that, in a specific application scenario, the type of the target system firmware image may be determined according to actual needs, for example, when the target system firmware image is a Linux boot firmware image, a necessary Linux boot function may be selected according to service needs of an operating system, such as some peripheral drivers, an operating system Kernel, etc., and a Linux boot firmware generated image file is stored in the preset storage address, and Linux drivers, kernel versions, or startup parameters, etc. may be customized in the Linux boot firmware image to achieve the purpose of customization.
