For example, the mobile terminal may also include more or fewer components than shown in fig. 1, or have a different configuration than shown in fig. 1.
The memory 104 may be used to store a computer program, for example, a software program of application software and a module, such as a computer program corresponding to a method for starting up an ARM server in the embodiment of the present application, and the processor 102 executes the computer program stored in the memory 104, thereby performing various functional applications and data processing, that is, implementing the method described above.

In one example, the transmission device 106 includes a network adapter (Network Interface Controller, simply referred to as NIC) that can connect to other network devices through a base station to communicate with the internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module, which is configured to communicate with the internet wirelessly.
In this embodiment, a method for operating on the mobile terminal is provided, fig. 2 is a flowchart of an alternative method for starting up an ARM server according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, where the flowchart includes the following steps:
step S202, determining the starting number of the CPU of the ARM server according to the service requirement, wherein the ARM server comprises a main CPU and a secondary CPU;
step S204, determining a target startup script and a target startup mode of the ARM server according to the CPU startup quantity, wherein the target startup script comprises one of the following steps: the target startup mode comprises one of the following modes: a single-path starting mode and a double-path starting mode;
step S206, starting the ARM server according to the target starting script and the target starting mode.
Through the steps, the problem that the double-path ARM server in the prior art cannot be compatible with the switching of the number of various CPUs is solved, and the effect of dynamically switching the functions of the single-path server and the double-path server through the double-path ARM server is achieved.
The main execution body of the above steps may be a terminal, but is not limited thereto.
The execution order of step S202 and step S204 may be interchanged, i.e. step S204 may be executed first and then step S202 may be executed.
Specifically, in step S202, the service requirement may be a service requirement of multiple aspects such as a database, big data, video codec, web server, etc., and the ARM server is a dual-path ARM server, that is, includes a main CPU and a sub CPU. Alternatively, first, it is evaluated whether one CPU or two CPUs are used according to actual service requirements, thereby determining whether to start in one or two ways. For example, for small database services, the service volume and the load are not high, and the service requirement can be met by only using one CPU; for large data traffic, the traffic and load are high, requiring the use of two CPUs.
Specifically, in step S204, the number of CPU starts is one or two, the target start script is a main BIOS image or a backup BIOS image, and the target start mode is a single-path start mode or a double-path start mode. Optionally, according to the number of the CPUs, a target start script and a target start mode of the ARM server may be determined, for example, if the number of the CPUs is estimated to be one according to the actual service requirement, it may be determined that the target start script of the ARM server is a backup BIOS image, and the target start mode is a single-path start mode.
Specifically, the single-path starting mode is a mode of starting by a main CPU, and for the hardware itself actually being a double-path ARM server, the number of CPU starts is one, namely only the main CPU starts, so that the function of the single-path ARM server is realized. For users with different service demands, the users can enjoy the use experience of the single-channel ARM server and the double-channel ARM server at the same time by purchasing the double-channel ARM servers in batches by default, the single-channel ARM server is not required to be purchased, and the purchasing cost of the users is reduced. And when the double-path ARM server is used for realizing the function of the single-path ARM server, the secondary CPU is not required to be disassembled manually, the function of dynamic management is realized, the time cost and the labor cost are saved, and the use experience of a user is improved.
Specifically, the two-way startup mode refers to a mode started with the main CPU and the sub CPU. Because ARM server supports the main BIOS mirror image and backs up BIOS mirror image function, consequently, through the use of different start-up script, can make the switching of different start-up modes of double-circuit ARM server. Namely, the double-way starting is realized through the main BIOS image, and the single-way starting is realized through the backup BIOS image.
Specifically, in step S206, the ARM server is started according to the target startup script and the target startup mode, and enters an Operating System (OS) after normal startup.
Based on the above-mentioned schemes defined in step S202 to step S206, it can be known that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a manner of implementing dynamic switching between the functions of the two-way and the one-way servers by using different start scripts is adopted, first, the CPU start number of the ARM server is determined according to the service requirement, then, the target start script and the target start mode of the ARM server are determined according to the CPU start number, and then, the ARM server is started according to the target start script and the target start mode. The ARM server comprises a main CPU and a secondary CPU, and the target starting script comprises one of the following components: the target startup mode comprises one of the following modes: a single-path starting mode and a double-path starting mode.
It is easy to note that in the above process, the target startup script and the target startup mode of the ARM server may be determined according to the number of CPU startup, so that the ARM server can be started according to the target startup script and the target startup mode. On the premise of not changing hardware conditions, namely without manually disassembling the physical two-way server, the method can meet various use requirements of users, enables the users to freely select one-way starting or two-way starting, has strong flexibility and expansibility, improves the cost performance of the whole server, and reduces the purchase cost of the users.
Therefore, through the technical scheme of the invention, the purpose of meeting different requirements of users for using the single-path or double-path servers according to different services through the double-path ARM server is achieved, so that the technical effect of dynamically switching the functions of the single-path and the double-path servers through the double-path ARM server is achieved, and the technical problem that the double-path ARM server in the prior art cannot be compatible with the switching of the quantity of various CPUs is solved.
In one exemplary embodiment, determining the target startup script and the target startup mode of the ARM server according to the CPU startup quantity comprises: if the CPU starting number is one, determining that the target starting script is a backup BIOS image, and the target starting mode is a single-path starting mode.
Optionally, fig. 3 is a flowchart of an optional ARM server start-up according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, it is first clear whether a two-way start-up or a one-way start-up is performed. After evaluating whether to use one CPU or two CPUs according to actual service requirements, the target startup script and the target startup mode of the ARM server can be determined. If the service requirement can be met by using one CPU according to the actual service requirement, namely, the service requirement can be met by only starting one CPU of the double-path ARM server, the target starting script is determined to be a backup BIOS mirror image, and the target starting mode is a single-path starting mode.
It should be noted that, by determining that the target startup script of the ARM server is a backup BIOS image, the target startup mode is a single-path startup mode, and a basis is provided for realizing the single-path startup of the ARM server by subsequently starting the backup BIOS image.
In an exemplary embodiment, if the number of CPU starts is two, it is determined that the target start script is a main BIOS image and the target start mode is a two-way start mode.
Optionally, after evaluating whether to use one CPU or two CPUs according to actual service requirements, the target start script and the target start mode of the ARM server can be determined. As shown in fig. 3, if it is estimated that two CPUs are used to meet the service requirement according to the actual service requirement, that is, both CPUs of the dual-path ARM server are started to meet the service requirement, the target startup script is determined to be the main BIOS image, and the target startup mode is determined to be the dual-path startup mode.
It should be noted that, by determining that the target startup script of the ARM server is the main BIOS image, the target startup mode is the dual-path startup mode, and a foundation is provided for realizing dual-path startup of the ARM server by subsequently starting the main BIOS image.
In one exemplary embodiment, a first start command is received by a baseboard management controller BMC before starting an ARM server according to a target start script and a target start mode; and responding to the first starting command, and sending a starting signal carried in the first starting command to firmware of the backup BIOS image so as to start the backup BIOS image.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3, in the case that the target boot script is the backup BIOS image and the target boot mode is the single boot mode, the firmware that sends the boot signal to the backup BIOS image is implemented by sending a command to the BMC. Specifically, the BMC receives the first starting command, responds to the first starting command, and sends a starting signal carried in the first starting command to firmware of the backup BIOS image so as to start the backup BIOS image. The first start command also carries an identifier of the backup BIOS image, and according to the identifier of the backup BIOS image, the SPI enable signal is sent to firmware of the backup BIOS image, and at this time, the backup BIOS image is started.
Optionally, before receiving the first start command through the baseboard management controller BMC, the current position of the start signal may be further determined, and whether to send the first start command to the BMC is determined according to the current position of the start signal. If the current position of the starting signal is the firmware of the backup BIOS image, a third starting command is sent to the BMC, namely the BMC receives the third starting command and responds to the third starting command to directly start the backup BIOS image. Wherein, the third start command does not carry a start signal. For example, the user selects the single-path starting mode last time, that is, the current position of the SPI enabling signal is firmware of the backup BIOS mirror image, the target starting mode is evaluated to be the single-path starting mode according to service requirements, and the single-path starting of the dual-path ARM server can be realized by direct starting without switching the SPI enabling signal.
It should be noted that in the above process, only one of the two CPUs of the dual-path ARM server is actually started, so that the requirement that the user dynamically switches between the single-path server and the dual-path server by using the dual-path ARM server can be met, the actual service requirement of the user is met, the effect of reducing the power consumption is achieved, and the use experience of the user is improved.
In one exemplary embodiment, starting the ARM server according to a target start script and a target start mode, comprises: in the starting process of the backup BIOS mirror image, closing the CCIX bus connection function of the main CPU; and under the condition that the CCIX bus connection function of the main CPU is detected to be closed, starting the ARM server based on the main CPU so as to realize the single-path starting of the ARM server.
Specifically, the main CPU and the secondary CPU of the dual-path ARM server communicate through a CCIX bus, and the CCIX bus uses 2 x16 bandwidth links, so that the link between the main CPU and the secondary CPU can be disconnected by performing a closing operation on the CCIX bus connection function of the main CPU, thereby realizing the single-path startup of the ARM server.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, in the starting process of the backup BIOS image, the CCIX bus connection function of the main CPU is turned off, after the shutdown, if it is detected that the CCIX bus connection function of the main CPU is turned off, the ARM server is started based on the main CPU, so as to implement single-path startup of the ARM server, and after normal startup, the OS is entered.
In the above process, the function of the single-path ARM server is realized by performing the shutdown operation on the CCIX bus connection function of the main CPU, which realizes the independent startup of the main CPU of the double-path ARM server.
In one exemplary embodiment, a second start command is received by the baseboard management controller BMC before starting the ARM server according to the target start script and the target start mode; and responding to the second starting command, and sending a starting signal carried in the second starting command to the firmware of the main BIOS image so as to start the main BIOS image.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3, in the case that the dual-path start, i.e., the target start script is selected as the main BIOS image, and the target start mode is the dual-path start mode, the firmware that sends the start signal to the main BIOS image is implemented by sending a command to the BMC. Specifically, the BMC receives the second starting command, and responds to the second starting command, and a starting signal carried in the second starting command is sent to the firmware of the main BIOS image so as to start the main BIOS image. The second start command also carries an identifier of the main BIOS image, and according to the identifier of the main BIOS image, the SPI enable signal is sent to firmware of the main BIOS image, where the main BIOS image is started.
Optionally, before receiving the second start command through the baseboard management controller BMC, the current position of the start signal may be further determined, and whether to send the second start command to the BMC is determined according to the current position of the start signal. If the current position of the starting signal is the firmware of the main BIOS image, a fourth starting command is sent to the BMC, namely the BMC receives the fourth starting command and responds to the fourth starting command to directly start the main BIOS image. Wherein, the fourth start command does not carry a start signal. For example, the user selects the dual-path starting mode last time, that is, the current position of the SPI enabling signal is the firmware of the main BIOS mirror image, the target starting mode is evaluated to be the dual-path starting mode according to the service requirement, and the dual-path starting of the dual-path ARM server can be realized by directly starting without switching the SPI enabling signal.
It should be noted that in the above process, the process that two CPUs of the dual-path ARM server are started is realized, so that the requirement that a user dynamically switches between a single-path server and a dual-path server by using the dual-path ARM server can be met, the actual service requirement of the user is met, the effect of reducing power consumption is further achieved, and the use experience of the user is improved.
In one exemplary embodiment, starting the ARM server according to a target start script and a target start mode, comprises: after the main BIOS mirror image is started, the ARM server is started based on the main CPU and the secondary CPU, so that the dual-path starting of the ARM server is realized.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, after the main BIOS image is started, the ARM server is started based on the main CPU and the sub CPU, so as to realize dual-path start of the ARM server, and the OS is entered after normal start.
In the above process, the main CPU and the secondary CPU of the dual-path ARM server are both started by the main BIOS image, and the dual-path starting function is realized.
In an exemplary embodiment, determining the number of CPU starts of the ARM server according to the service requirement includes: determining the traffic and the load required by processing the traffic according to the traffic demand; if the traffic is smaller than or equal to a first threshold value or the load is smaller than or equal to a second threshold value, determining that the CPU starting number of the ARM server is one; if the traffic is greater than the first threshold and the load is greater than the second threshold, determining that the number of CPU starts of the ARM server is two.
Alternatively, the requirements of users on the starting number of the CPU of the ARM server are different due to different service volumes corresponding to different services and different load amounts required by the services. For example, for small database services, the service volume and the load are not high, and the service requirement can be met by only using one CPU; for large data traffic, the traffic and load are high, requiring the use of two CPUs. Therefore, firstly, the service volume and the load required by processing the service are determined according to the service requirement, so as to determine the starting quantity of the CPU of the ARM server.
Further, the first threshold and the second threshold are set according to the performance of the ARM server. If the traffic is smaller than or equal to a first threshold value or the load quantity is smaller than or equal to a second threshold value, determining that the starting quantity of the CPU of the ARM server is one, namely the traffic and the load quantity are not high, and only one CPU is used for meeting the service requirement; if the traffic is greater than the first threshold and the load is greater than the second threshold, determining that the number of started CPUs of the ARM server is two, namely the traffic and the load are higher, and two CPUs are needed.
It should be noted that the technical scheme of the invention provides a starting method of an ARM server, so that the dual-path ARM server has the function of a single-path ARM server, namely, the dual-path ARM server supports single-path starting. On the premise that the hardware is actually a double-path ARM server, whether the CPU is started in a single path or in double paths is confirmed according to actual service requirements, namely whether the starting number of the CPU is one or two is confirmed. Whether the single-way start or the double-way start is determined by a command sent to the BMC, specifically, whether the single-way start or the double-way start is determined by sending a command to the BMC and controlling an SPI start signal of the BIOS mirror image after confirming the start number of the CPU. If the dual-channel ARM server is started in a single-channel mode, starting a backup BIOS image, closing the CCIX bus connection function of the main CPU by the backup BIOS image, starting the main CPU in the two CPUs, and not starting the secondary CPU, so that the single-channel ARM server is started in a single-channel mode. If the dual-path starting is performed, the main BIOS mirror image is started, and the dual-path starting of the dual-path ARM server is realized.
