Description

Firmware program upgrading method and server of high-speed peripheral component equipment
Technical Field
The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a firmware program upgrading method and a server of high-speed peripheral component equipment.
Background
With the development of server technology, the configuration of a server is also more and more complex, where PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect-express, peripheral component express) slots are an important way for expanding server devices, through which users can freely match different add-in cards, such as network cards, RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks, disk array) cards, GPU (Graphics Processing Unit, graphics processor) cards, and the like. The firmware program Option ROM of these PCIe devices is stored in the expansion ROM (Option Read-Only Memory) of the board card, and some exist in the binary file binary of BIOS (Basic Input Output System ), mainly finish initialization and system boot function of PCIe devices. In the POST (Power-on Self Test) stage, the BIOS scans whether the PCIe device has an Option ROM, and if so, copies the PCIe device to the memory for execution.
Option ROM typically has different versions. For the traditional BIOS and UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface ) BIOS, there are two types of traditional Option ROM and UEFI Option ROM; the Option ROM is further divided into different versions for compatibility with the different CPU (Central Processing Unit, core processor) architectures of arm, x86, etc. The extended ROM of the PCIe device does not contain the Option ROM of all versions, and when a user upgrades the PCIe device in the server, if the Option ROM version is not compatible with the current architecture, the problem of upgrading the Option ROM for the PCIe device is involved.
When PCIe devices have expansion ROM, the Option ROM may be upgraded under an OS (Operating System) by a tool provided by a vendor, but the operation difficulty is relatively high for users, and sometimes users may be reluctant to upgrade in this way due to fear of bringing new problems; when the PCIe device does not have the expansion ROM, only the developer can modify the Option ROM in the BIOS and then refresh the BIOS, so that the labor cost is high. How to conveniently upgrade the Option ROM of PCIe devices is a highly desirable problem.
In view of the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed at present.

For a better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, some nouns or translations of terms that appear during the description of the embodiments of the present application are explained first as follows:
PCIe: a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard belongs to point-to-point dual-channel high-bandwidth transmission, the transmission speed is much faster than that of the traditional parallel bus technology, and the high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard has better reliability and expansibility. PCIe devices, i.e., various external devices connected to a computer motherboard through PCIe interfaces, such as a graphics card, a sound card, a network card, etc., have become an essential component in modern computer systems due to the high bandwidth and low latency characteristics of PCIe.
Option ROM: the BIOS term, also known as Expansion ROM in the PCI specification, is a firmware program integrated into a computer hardware device that can be executed at device start-up, is typically used to initialize and manage the hardware device, and provides additional functions or drivers. For example, a graphics card, network card, RAID controller, etc. may have their own Option ROM, and when the computer is started, the BIOS will detect these devices and load their corresponding Option ROM to properly configure and use them. Although Option ROM is "optional," many hardware devices require them to function properly, which may result in unstable systems or the inability to identify certain hardware devices if the Option ROM is not loaded properly.
BMC (Baseboard Management Controller ): is an embedded chip for use with a remote management server or other computing device. The system is generally integrated on a main board, can be accessed and controlled through network connection, is mainly responsible for monitoring the hardware state of a system, remote on/off, restarting and other functions, and provides an interface such as IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface ) and the like to realize remote management and maintenance of a server.
TF (Trans Flash), conversion Flash card: also known as microSD card or microshc card, is a compact flash memory card that can be compatible with other devices through an adapter, and is commonly used for storage expansion in mobile devices, such as cell phones, cameras, and the like.
PCH (Platform Controller Hub, platform control hub): also known as a south bridge chip, is part of the motherboard chipset in the Intel architecture, located between the CPU and other major system components, and is primarily responsible for managing many I/O interfaces, buses, memory and network functions, etc., and providing support for processor power management and security performance.
POST phase: the BIOS program identifies and initializes the hardware when the computer is started up and self-checked. In the POST phase, the BIOS performs self-tests in a fixed order, including key hardware components such as RAM (Random Access Memory ), CPU, display adapter, etc., and ensures that they are working properly. If any faults or errors are found, the system will stop and display the corresponding error code or information. Only after all tests have passed will the operating system loading process be started. This process typically takes only a few seconds to complete.
PCI Expansion ROM Header (PCI expansion read-only memory header information): is a data structure for defining an extended ROM image file format for a PCI device. It contains the information of the size, starting address, checksum, etc. of the ROM image file, and this ROM image file can be loaded and executed by BIOS or operating system to implement expansion or upgrade of the device functions. PCI Expansion ROM Header is typically provided by the hardware vendor and issued with the device driver.
PCI Data Structure (PCI data structure information): is a data format used to describe the allocation of devices and resources on a PCI bus in a computer system. It contains information for each PCI device such as configuration space, IRQ (Interrupt Request ), DMA (Direct Memory Access, direct memory access) channel, etc., as well as register addresses and control commands for accessing such information. By reading and modifying the PCI data structures, the operating system can manage communications between the computer and external devices and provide an access interface for the application programs to the hardware resources.

The firmware program upgrading mode is simple and efficient, no complex manual operation is needed, and the technical problem that the firmware program upgrading process for the high-speed peripheral component equipment in the related technology is relatively complex is effectively solved.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another more specific server according to an embodiment of the present application, where the server includes at least: a main board 21 and a core processor 22, wherein the main board 21 includes: the functions of the baseboard management controller 211, the platform control hub 212, the bios chip 213, and the high-speed peripheral component interface 214 are described in detail below with reference to fig. 2.
As an alternative implementation manner, the baseboard management controller 211 includes a flash memory card 2111 and a management module 2112, and after obtaining the firmware program upgrade file transmitted by the target object, the baseboard management controller 211 stores the firmware program upgrade file into the conversion flash memory card 2111; the call management module 2112 then generates a virtual universal serial bus device 2113 from the firmware program upgrade file in the flash translation card 2111.
Alternatively, the baseboard management controller 211 may perform the following three ways when acquiring the firmware program upgrade file transmitted by the target object: in the first manner, the baseboard management controller 211 may call the management module 2112 to obtain a firmware program upgrade file uploaded by the target object in an interactive interface corresponding to the baseboard management controller 211, and store the firmware program upgrade file in the flash memory card 2111, where the interactive interface may be a web management interface; in a second manner, the baseboard management controller 211 may receive a firmware program upgrade file copied by the target object through a terminal device, and store the firmware program upgrade file in the flash memory card 2111, where the terminal device may be a terminal such as a personal computer or a tablet; in a third manner, the baseboard management controller 211 may invoke the management module 2112 to download a firmware program upgrade file from a management node server in a room where the server is located, and store the firmware program upgrade file in the flash memory card 2111, where the management node server stores the firmware program upgrade file uploaded by the target object.
It can be understood that, in order to improve the transmission efficiency of the firmware program upgrade file, the user may upload the firmware program upgrade file to the baseboard management controller through the web management interface, or may directly copy the firmware program upgrade file to the baseboard management controller through a terminal such as a personal computer, where the two modes are applicable to upgrading the firmware program of the high-speed peripheral component device of a single server; optionally, the user can upload the firmware program upgrade file to the management node server in the machine room where the server is located, and the baseboard management controller downloads the firmware program upgrade file by itself.
As an alternative embodiment, when the server is started, the core processor 22 executes the bios program stored in the bios chip 213 to perform power-on self-test; in the self-checking process, when the core processor 22 recognizes that the peripheral component device 23 accesses the server through the peripheral component interface 214, the target identification information of the peripheral component device is obtained from the device configuration space of the peripheral component device 23, where the target identification information at least includes: the method comprises the steps of a first manufacturer identification and a first device identification corresponding to the peripheral component equipment.
To ensure that the version of the finally obtained target firmware program upgrade file matches the present core processor, the core processor 22 may also determine the type of the core processor 22 after obtaining the target identification information of the peripheral component device 23; then, a target firmware program upgrade file corresponding to the target identification information and the type of the core processor is acquired from the baseboard management controller 211.

Optionally, before determining the second vendor identifier, the second device identifier, and the node type corresponding to the firmware program upgrade file according to the data structure information of the firmware program upgrade file, the core processor 22 may further detect whether a target identifier exists in the extended read-only memory header information PCI Expansion ROM Header of the firmware program upgrade file, where the target identifier is typically a 0xAA55 identifier; if the target identifier exists in the header information of the extended read-only memory, determining that the firmware program upgrading file is legal, and continuously determining a second manufacturer identifier, a second equipment identifier and a node type corresponding to the firmware program upgrading file according to the data structure information of the firmware program upgrading file; if the target identifier does not exist in the header information of the extended read-only memory, determining that the firmware program upgrading file is illegal, namely, the firmware program upgrading file is not the target firmware program upgrading file, and the subsequent matching process is not required to be executed, so that the detection efficiency is improved.

Further, in some extreme scenarios, the extended rom corresponding to the peripheral component device 23 does not have a target firmware program upgrade file corresponding to the target identification information and the type of the core processor, and at this time, the core processor 22 may control the alarm device to send an alarm prompt message to the user, so that the user is prompted that the baseboard management controller and the extended rom corresponding to the peripheral component device 23 do not have any available target firmware program upgrade file, and the user needs to manually upload the target firmware program upgrade file. At this time, the user may transmit the firmware upgrade file to the baseboard management controller again through three modes of the interactive interface, the terminal device, and the management node server.

In the second mode, the user can copy the firmware program upgrade file to the flash memory card of the baseboard management controller directly through the terminal equipment, wherein the terminal equipment can be a terminal such as a personal computer, a tablet and the like.
In the third mode, the user can upload the firmware program upgrade file to the management node server of the machine room where the server is located; the baseboard management controller may call the management module to download the firmware program upgrade file from the management node server and store the firmware program upgrade file into the conversion flash memory card.
In the three modes, the first two modes can improve the transmission efficiency of the firmware program upgrading file, and are suitable for upgrading the firmware program of the high-speed peripheral component equipment of the single server; the third mode can effectively reduce the number of manual transmission, and is suitable for upgrading the firmware programs of the high-speed peripheral component devices of the batch server.
Optionally, after acquiring the firmware program upgrade file transmitted by the target object and storing the firmware program upgrade file in the conversion flash memory card, the baseboard management controller may call the management module to generate the virtual universal serial bus device according to the firmware program upgrade file in the conversion flash memory card.
As an optional implementation manner, when the server is started, the core processor executes a basic input output system program stored in the basic input output system chip to perform power-on self-test; in the self-checking process, when the core processor recognizes that the peripheral component device accesses the server through the peripheral component interface of the server, acquiring target identification information of the peripheral component device from a device configuration space of the peripheral component device, wherein the target identification information at least comprises: the method comprises the steps of a first manufacturer identification and a first device identification corresponding to the peripheral component equipment.
In order to ensure that the version of the finally obtained target firmware program upgrade file is matched with the core processor, the core processor can also determine the type of the core processor after obtaining the target identification information of the peripheral component device; and then acquiring a target firmware program upgrading file corresponding to the target identification information and the type of the core processor from the baseboard management controller.
As an alternative embodiment, when acquiring the target firmware program upgrade file corresponding to the target identification information and the type of the core processor, the core processor may acquire the target firmware program upgrade file corresponding to the target identification information and the type of the core processor from the virtual universal serial bus device of the baseboard management controller through the universal serial bus interface of the platform control hub.
Alternatively, when the core processor acquires the target firmware program upgrade file corresponding to the target identification information and the type of the core processor from the baseboard management controller, it may be performed by: for any firmware program upgrade file in the baseboard management controller, determining a second manufacturer identifier, a second equipment identifier and a node type corresponding to the firmware program upgrade file according to data structure information PCI Data Structure of the firmware program upgrade file, wherein the node type is used for representing a core processor type supported by the firmware program upgrade file; when the first manufacturer identification is matched with the second manufacturer identification, the first equipment identification is matched with the second equipment identification, and the type of the core processor is matched with the type of the node, determining the firmware program upgrading file as a target firmware program upgrading file; and acquiring the target firmware program upgrading file from the baseboard management controller.
Optionally, before determining the second vendor identifier, the second device identifier, and the node type corresponding to the firmware program upgrade file according to the data structure information of the firmware program upgrade file, the core processor may further detect whether a target identifier exists in the extended read-only memory header information PCI Expansion ROM Header of the firmware program upgrade file, where the target identifier is typically a 0xAA55 identifier; if the target identifier exists in the header information of the extended read-only memory, determining that the firmware program upgrading file is legal, and continuously determining a second manufacturer identifier, a second equipment identifier and a node type corresponding to the firmware program upgrading file according to the data structure information of the firmware program upgrading file; if the target identifier does not exist in the header information of the extended read-only memory, determining that the firmware program upgrading file is illegal, namely, the firmware program upgrading file is not the target firmware program upgrading file, and the subsequent matching process is not required to be executed, so that the detection efficiency is improved.
In some application scenarios, there may not be a target firmware program upgrade file corresponding to the target identification information and the type of the core processor in the baseboard management controller, at which time the core processor may obtain the target firmware program upgrade file corresponding to the target identification information and the type of the core processor from the extended read-only memory corresponding to the peripheral component device.
Further, in some extreme scenarios, the extended read-only memory corresponding to the peripheral component device does not have the target firmware program upgrade file corresponding to the target identification information and the type of the core processor, at this time, the core processor may control the alarm device to send alarm prompt information to the user, so that the user is prompted that the substrate management controller and the extended read-only memory corresponding to the peripheral component device do not have available target firmware program upgrade files, and the user needs to upload manually. At this time, the user may transmit the firmware upgrade file to the baseboard management controller again through three modes of the interactive interface, the terminal device, and the management node server.
After the target firmware program upgrade file is obtained, the core processor can copy the target firmware program upgrade file into the memory for execution, so as to initialize the peripheral component device, thereby realizing the firmware program upgrade.
