Fig. 2 is the method flow diagram according to one embodiment of the invention.
The figure number explanation
Flash memory ~ 12; ROM (read-only memory) ~ 14; Select circuit ~ 16; Multitask selector switch ~ 18; Logical circuit ~ 20; AND gate ~ 22; Data bus ~ 24; Address bus ~ 26.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 is a calcspar according to the device 10 of one embodiment of the invention institute construction.Device 10 comprises that a flash memory 12, a ROM 14 and select circuit 16.Select circuit 16 to be coupled to flash memory 12 and ROM 14 and to receive system activation signal again, this signal offers when opening for the first time in system selects circuit 16.Device 10 is coupling one master control systems 40.Master control system 40 is coupled to flash memory 12 and ROM 14 through address bus 26 and data bus 24.Master control system 40 also provide one write enable signal to flash memory 12 and output enable signal to selecting circuit 16, and select circuit 16 to receive master control system activation signal again certainly.
Flash memory 12 contains a computing machine active program, or bios program, opens in order to will install 10 master control systems that connect 40.Because bios program is to be stored in the flash memory, rewriting can be edited, revises or be deleted to this program.Before program in flash memory 12 was changed, ROM 14 had the bios program identical with it.ROM 14 can be mask ROM (Mask ROM), one-time programming ROM (read-only memory) (OTP) ROM, EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) (EPROM), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memo) (EEPROM) or flash memory.In order to make the bios program backup that is stored among the ROM 14 can't still can activate computing machine during normal operation in the program of flash memory, ROM14 can not change or delete rewriting.So, if used an EEPROM or flash memory enable signal WE#WE# to isolate, so that ROM 14 becomes ROM (read-only memory) with ROM 14.
Select circuit 16 to be coupled to flash memory 12 and ROM 14.Select circuit 16 constant bios program from flash memory 12 to calculate a calculated value, and with a default reference value comparison to judge whether bios program can normally activate master control system 40.This reference value can be bios program code and.In this case, select circuit 16 that calculating is stored in the program code of the bios program in the flash memory 12 and and compare with reference value.This function can be called to be checked and (checksum).In addition, this reference value can be address or the place in order to discern this goods producer.Select circuit 16 will determine the identification proof of manufacturer according to this whether in the reference address value.Selecting circuit 16 is to carry out access through the bios program in 24 pairs of flash memories 12 of data bus.
After the reference value of relatively crossing this calculated value and presetting, if calculated value equals reference value, just bios program can operate normally.Select circuit 16 just to provide an output enable signal OE# to make it provide bios program to flash memory 12 to carry out the activation of master control system 40.If but calculated value and reference value are not simultaneously, bios program can't normally act on, and also can't activate master control system 40.In this case, select circuit 16 that output enable signal OE# to ROM 14 is provided, make it provide the bios program backup to activate.ROM 14 also contains and can pass through output unit (as loudspeaker or display) and provide the program of sound or literal warning wrong to inform the bios program of depositing in user's flash memory 12.Because ROM 14, master control system 40 still can normally activate, and the user also is apprised of essential correction of bios program in the flash memory simultaneously.After flash memory 12 or ROM 14 are selected, select circuit 16 provide a master control system again activation signal to master control system 40 with the beginning boot program.
Selecting circuit 16 can be a microprocessor or any Application Specific Integrated Circuit, in order to carry out above-mentioned function.In the another embodiment of the present invention, select circuit 16 to comprise a multitask selector circuit 18, a control logic circuit 20 and an AND gate 22.Multitask selector circuit 18 has the output terminal that is coupled to flash memory 12 and ROM 14, and receives the input signal from logical circuit 20 and master control system 40.Multitask selector circuit 18 provides output enable signal OE# to make master control system 40 carry out access to bios program to activate flash memory 12 or ROM 14 according to the OE2# signal from logical circuit 20.
Logical circuit 20 provides the OE2# signal to multitask selector circuit 18 and provide and output signal to AND gate 22.The OE2# signal that logical circuit 20 provides one first numerical value task choosing device circuit 18 at the most calculates a calculated value with the bios program from be stored in flash memory 12.If this calculated value equals this default value, just logical circuit 20 selects to use the BIOS of flash memory to activate.Master control system 40 just provides OE1# signal task choosing device circuit 18 and produce output enable signal OE# to flash memory 12, so that flash memory is carried out access at the most.If but calculated value and default value are not simultaneously, logical circuit 20 provides the OE2# signal of a second value and selects to activate with the BIOS of ROM 14.Master control system 40 just provides OE1# signal task choosing device 18 and produce output enable signal OE# at the most, so that ROM 14 is carried out access.
Logical circuit 20 also provide a signal to two output terminals of AND gate 22 one of them.Another output terminal is receiving system activation signal again then, and this signal is to offer AND gate 22 when opening for the first time in system.After the selection of bios program was finished, logical circuit 20 provided a signal to cause AND gate 22 master control system activation signal again to be delivered to master control system 40 and the initiating process of beginning master control system to AND gate 22 simultaneously with system's activation signal again.
Master control system 40 provides one first output enable signal OE1# to selecting circuit 16, especially delivers to multitask selector circuit 18.After multitask selector circuit 18 had been selected flash memory 12 or ROM 14, master control system 40 provided one first output enable signal OE1# task choosing device circuit 18 and provide OE# signal to selecteed internal memory at the most.When flash memory 12 was activated, master control system 40 received the bios program that is stored in wherein.If ROM 14 is activated, 40 receptions of master control system give a warning from the standby bios program among the ROM 14 and by other device, and are wrong to show the bios program in the flash memory.
Master control system 40 can also provide one to write enable signal WE# and can revise or rewrite with the content of allowing internal memory to flash memory 12.But master control system 40 does not provide any enable signal that writes to ROM 14.Master control system 40 can be a microprocessor.
In another embodiment of the present invention, selecting circuit 16 can be one to have the microcontroller circuit that embeds internal memory.In such an embodiment, the backup of bios program is to be stored in this embedding internal memory, has removed the ROM (read-only memory) of a separate type from.But this embedding internal memory must be a ROM (read-only memory).Microcontroller circuit can comprise above-mentioned same assembly and carry out same function.
Fig. 2 is an operational flowchart of the present invention.This system activates in step 28 again.In step 30, the bios program of device 10 from flash memory 12 calculates a calculated value.In step 32, relatively this calculated value and a default reference value, this step also can be described as checksum.If two values equate that when step 34, the BIOS of selected flash memory 12 activates.When step 36, master control system activation signal is again delivered to master control system 40 then.If two values are different, just activate at the BIOS of the selected ROM 14 of step 38.In step 36 master control system activation signal is again delivered to master control system 40 then.
The present invention opens the computer module that initiating is done applicable to any needs, has comprised motherboard, display card and modulator-demodular unit.Though the present invention discloses as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not in order to restriction the present invention.In addition, those skilled in the art also can make a spot of retouching and modification not breaking away under spirit of the present invention and the scope.
