All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
The embodiment of the application discloses a firmware upgrading method, which is shown in fig. 1 and comprises the following steps:
step S11: and determining a firmware upgrading packet of the firmware to be upgraded, and triggering a downloading operation aiming at the firmware upgrading packet.

It should be noted that, before determining the firmware upgrade package of the firmware to be upgraded, the method specifically further includes: numbering all the high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard slots in the current system to obtain the slot numbers corresponding to the high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard slots. In this embodiment, all the standard slots (PCIe slots, peripheral component interconnect express slot) of the expansion bus of the high-speed serial computer in the server system are numbered in advance, so that slot numbers corresponding to the standard slots of the expansion bus of the high-speed serial computer, such as PCIe slot0, PCIe slot1, PCIe slot2, PCIe slot3, PCIe slot.

Step S14: and sending the target slot number, a first field representing power-down operation and a second field corresponding to power-down operation duration to a voltage conversion chip through a baseboard management controller, so that in the process of upgrading the firmware to be upgraded by utilizing the firmware upgrading packet, independent power-up and power-down operations are respectively carried out on the target power supply port and the target high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard slot corresponding to the target component based on the target slot number, the first field and the second field.
In this embodiment, after the slot number corresponding to the target high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard slot is obtained, the target slot number, the first field representing the power-down operation, and the second field corresponding to the duration of the power-down operation may be sent to a pre-created voltage conversion chip through a baseboard management controller (BMC, baseboard Management Controller), and when the voltage conversion chip receives the target slot number, the first field, and the second field, the target power supply port and the target high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard slot corresponding to the target component to be upgraded may be determined according to the target slot number in the process of upgrading the firmware to be upgraded by using the firmware upgrade package, and then independent power-up and power-down operations may be performed on the target power supply port and the target high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard slot based on the first field and the second field, respectively, without performing power-up and power-down operations on the entire server system.

That is, the baseboard management controller and the voltage conversion chip communicate through a serial communication bus (I2C, inter-Integrated Circuit) link, so that the baseboard management controller can transmit the target slot number, a first field representing the power-down operation, and a second field corresponding to the duration of the power-down operation to the voltage conversion chip through the I2C link.
In another specific embodiment, the sending, by the baseboard management controller, the target slot number, a first field indicating the power-down operation, and a second field corresponding to the duration of the power-down operation to the voltage conversion chip may specifically include: and generating a protocol packet containing the target slot number, a first field representing the power-down operation and a second field corresponding to the duration of the power-down operation by the baseboard management controller in a self-defined protocol mode, and sending the protocol packet to a voltage conversion chip. For example, the corresponding protocol packet may be generated by the following custom protocol format, and the protocol packet is sent to the voltage conversion chip, where the custom protocol format is specifically:
the SlotNumber represents a PCIE slot number of a target component to be subjected to firmware upgrade currently, for example, 0x00 is PCIE slot 0,0x01 is PCIE slot 1,0x02 is PCIE slot 2,0x03 is PCIE slot 3); operate indicates whether the target component currently to be firmware upgraded is to perform a power-up or power-down operation, e.g., 0x00 is not power-up operation, 0x01 is power-down operation; delayTime represents the duration of the power-up and power-down operation, as default to 0xFF, representing permanent validation, and 0x01 representing duration of 1 minute. For example, the BMC issues a command 0x01 x ff to the voltage conversion chip to independently power up and power down the target power port and the target high speed serial computer expansion bus standard slot.
It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, a firmware upgrade package of a firmware to be upgraded is determined first, and a downloading operation for the firmware upgrade package is triggered, after the firmware upgrade package is downloaded, a power supply port of a target component corresponding to the firmware to be upgraded is determined to obtain a target power supply port, then a target high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard slot corresponding to the target power supply port is determined, a slot number corresponding to the target high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard slot is obtained, a target slot number is obtained, and then the target slot number, a first field representing a power-down operation and a second field corresponding to a power-down operation duration are sent to a voltage conversion chip through a baseboard management controller, so that in a process of upgrading the firmware to be upgraded by using the firmware upgrade package, independent power-up and power-down operations are performed on the target power supply port corresponding to the target component and the target high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard slot based on the target slot number, the first field and the second field respectively. The embodiment of the application determines the standard slot of the high-speed serial computer expansion bus corresponding to the part to be upgraded by numbering the standard slot of the high-speed serial computer expansion bus, and independently electrifies and de-electrifies the power supply port of the part to be upgraded and the standard slot of the high-speed serial computer expansion bus through the voltage conversion chip.
