The following describes the testing method of the firmware program configuration options of the basic input/output system according to a specific embodiment:
it should be noted first that this application mainly includes eight modules: the system comprises a BMC processing module, a classification module, an information processing module, a configuration processing module, a data running module, a data analysis module, a storage module and a data export module.
The functions of each module include: (1) a BMC processing module: the IPMI command is responsible for calling IPMI command to acquire/write BIOS firmware program options and parameter values, acquiring a startup self-checking code generated in the starting process of the BIOS firmware program, acquiring log information, realizing restarting of the machine and the like; (2) a classification module: the method comprises the steps of classifying acquired BIOS firmware program options to obtain information display items (namely information options) and configuration options, and transmitting related classification results to corresponding processing modules after classification; (3) an information processing module: the method is responsible for further classifying the received information display items, and the classified information display items are transmitted to the storage module after the classification processing is completed; (4) configuring a processing module: classifying received configuration options according to corresponding rules, combining parameter values of the configuration options to generate corresponding configuration files, and transmitting the configuration files to a storage module; (5) a data operation module: responsible for performing a recurring write operation on the received configuration file; (6) a data analysis module: the system is responsible for carrying out comparison analysis on various information stored in the storage module; (7) a storage module: the method is used for storing information display items, configuration files, log files and the like after classification processing; (8) a data deriving module: the method is mainly used for leading out various information in the storage module by a tester.
It should be further noted that, the general flow of the method for testing the bios firmware program configuration options described in the present application is as follows:
referring to fig. 3, after the program starts to execute, the BMC processing module obtains options, and classifies the options to obtain information options and configuration options. Further, the information option part is further classified and stored, the configuration options are classified and combined to obtain a configuration file, then the configuration file is executed, and corresponding execution result data are stored for data comparison analysis.
In summary, the method flow in the present application mainly includes 5 parts: the BMC processing part, the information processing part, the configuration execution part, the data analysis part and the data export part specifically comprise:
1. BMC processing section:
referring to fig. 4, a user selects a start task, where the task is to execute a test of BIOS configuration options, and at this time, the BMC processing module is called, and calls a corresponding IPMI instruction according to a requirement to obtain all option names and parameter values in the BIOS firmware program, and sends the option names and parameter values to the classification module. The classifying module classifies the obtained options and parameter values and sends the classified options and parameter values to the corresponding processing module, namely, the information options and parameter values are sent to the information processing module, and the configuration options and parameter values are sent to the configuration processing module.
2. An information processing section:
referring to fig. 5, the information processing module receives the information options and parameter values transferred from the classification module, classifies the information options and parameter values, and then transfers the classified information options and parameter values to the storage module. The configuration processing module receives the configuration options and parameter values transmitted by the classification module, classifies and combines the configuration options and parameter values to generate different configuration files, and then transmits the configuration files to the storage module.
3. A configuration execution section:
referring to fig. 6, when a configuration option test instruction initiated by a user is received, the data running module firstly calls a configuration file in the storage module, and then calls a firmware option write command in the BMC processing module, so that the configuration file is written into the BIOS firmware program in sequence. Further, after the write operation of one configuration file is executed, the BMC processing module is accessed, the corresponding IPMI instruction is called to execute the restarting operation, and in the restarting operation process, the BMC can automatically record the startup self-checking code of the machine. After the restart is completed, the firmware program processing part (i.e. the BMC processing part) and the information processing part are executed, specifically, the firmware program processing part is executed to obtain the configuration options and parameter values of the current BIOS firmware program, and the information processing part is executed to obtain the information options and parameter values of the current BIOS firmware program, so that the analysis of the currently written configuration file is facilitated. Meanwhile, the BMC processing module can call a corresponding command and write the boot self-checking code generated in the starting process into the storage module, and it can be understood that the whole writing operation process is automatically circulated until all configuration files are written.
4. A data analysis section:
referring to fig. 7, the data analysis module mainly processes three types of data stored in the storage module:
information processing section data (i.e., information options and parameter values): the BMC processing module calls a corresponding command, acquires information options and parameter values of the current BIOS firmware program, and compares the information options and parameter values with the information options and parameter values stored in the storage module in advance.
POST Code log (i.e., boot self-test Code): and analyzing the POST Code in the storage module, and outputting an analysis result so as to feed back problematic configuration options.
Configuration file: and comparing the configuration file written in each time with the configuration file obtained after the corresponding restarting so as to judge whether the writing is successful or not, and outputting the result to the storage module.
5. A data deriving section:
after the operation is finished, the tester selects the export operation and designates the export position, and the data in the storage module is called and exported to the designated position.
It should be noted that, the tester can obtain the problematic configuration file according to the analysis result of the POST Code and the comparison result of the configuration file, and then quickly locate the configuration options and parameter values that can cause the machine failure, and quickly locate incompatible parameter values of the configuration options.
In a specific embodiment, the rules and algorithms adopted in classifying and combining the collected BIOS firmware program options in the present application are algorithms of a rule-based expert system. In the algorithm of the rule-based expert system, the rule generally adopts the structure of IF (condition) THEN (action), and when the condition part of the rule is satisfied, the rule is excited, and the action part of the rule is executed, which is expressed as follows:
IF condition THEN action
where the condition represents a condition of the rule and the action represents an action of the rule. When the condition is satisfied, an action is performed.
Further, classifying BIOS firmware program configuration options by the rule-based expert system algorithm mainly includes the following:
