It mainly includes a main machine end for providing several BIOS program modules of different plates, and utilizes a PCI interface to connect it with several object machine ends to be updated and detected for providing and selecting multiple BIOS program plates, and at the same time it can attain the goal of updating and detecting BIOS program.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of device that upgrades and detect BIOS that has, be meant a kind of main machine end (Master Machine) that a plurality of bios versions are provided simultaneously especially, in order to provide a plurality of to be updated and detect the target machine end (Target Machine) of BIOS, optionally upgrade and detect the device of BIOS simultaneously.
Background technology
Generally speaking computing machine is in start, supervisory routine in the time of must doing some startups, be so-called ROM-BIOS (Basic Input/Output System, BIOS), for example low orders such as self test program (power-on self-test) during computer starting and disc driver, keyboard, screen are set, and provide some controls for software supports various and the computing machine connection device.
General user is when upgrading BIOS, in some cases, possibly can't normal operation on user's computing machine, because the BIOS refresh routine is loaded down with trivial details, and burning BIOS does not guarantee certain success, if system has operated fairly goodly, even if there is the BIOS of redaction can supply to upgrade, the situation that also best choice not necessarily, system may have negative effect or reduce usefulness takes place, therefore, during the problem of can't or be reluctant to upgrade voluntarily if any the user, there is the obligation of giving security and serving in manufacturer, and the chip (together with motherboard) of sending the BIOS to be updated of former factory back to is handled, and just can do the renewal of BIOS software.
With existing BIOS method for updating, several modes roughly are provided: modes such as floppy discs driver by computing machine or CD-ROM import that disk sheet upgrades, network download (download) is upgraded etc., and this type of update mode still must or download with unit and can upgrade to unit.
Fig. 1 upgrades in the BIOS computer approach for existing, the functional block diagram of computer system, must be earlier come load operation system boot program in internal memory 12 by the startup disk of record starting operating system program, again by the user carry out be stored in peripheral storage device 15 burning program (flash utility) with BIOS updating files reprogramming to BIOS internal memory 13.The user is if the stage of carrying out bios program in computer system 10 start backs is supressed certain button from basic input media 14 as keyboard, and the scan code of the button of being pressed (scan code) will be transferred into CPU (central processing unit) (CPU) 11 and handle.At this moment, bios program can obtain the scan code of the button that triggers and judge.If the scan code of scan code that the user pushed button and hot key that bios program defines is consistent, the execution of bios program promptly is interrupted, and the burning program place that skips to another section place, address begins to carry out burning program.If the user does not trigger the defined hot key of bios program, then bios program will continue to carry out, and after bios program was complete, the operating system that starts computer system 10 was to begin to carry out the running of computer system 10.
In the burning program execution, the user can import the path and the filename of BIOS updating files.Specify the path and filename of BIOS updating files as the user after, just be stored in peripheral storage device 15 can be loaded the internal memory 12 (being generally a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory)) of computer system 10 inside as the BIOS updating files of diskette sheet, hard disk, discs, LS-120 disk sheet certain part.Though start shooting to carry out the problem of burning program but this design can solve the startup disk that can't use operating system, but at sending the BIOS that repaiies replacement problem, can't the resolution system merchant face requirements quick, many version updating, therefore, stand in the position of maintenance manufacturer, still can't carry out the selective updating of while many renewals and different editions.
Summary of the invention
The present invention proposes a kind of device that upgrades BIOS that has, mainly comprise a main machine end (MasterMachine), comprise a testing circuit, a but program circuit, one display circuit, one PCI/ISA bridge, one impact damper and one is selected handover module, and more provide a monitor, in order to the condition monitoring that monitors that BIOS upgrades and handles, and provide the bios program module of a plurality of different editions, by a PCI/ISA bridge and a pci interface, connect a plurality of target machine ends to be updated (Target Machine), select multiple bios program version in order to provide, and reach the purpose that bios program upgrades simultaneously.
Another object of the present invention is to utilize testing circuit and display circuit, be used for detecting the state of a plurality of target machine ends (Target Machine) to be updated, the foundation of debug is provided.
Relevant detailed content of the present invention and technology just cooperate graphic being described as follows now:
