Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of specific examples, which are illustrative of the present invention and are not limited to the following embodiments.
As shown in fig. 1, the asset information management architecture of the server system provided by this embodiment includes a motherboard 1 and a daughter card 2, an EEPROM chip 22 chip is added on the daughter card 2, and asset information management of each board card and component in the whole system is performed by reading information contained in the EEPROM chip 22 on an I2C bus.
For the design of the I2C architecture, the protocol of the I2C bus is referred to, and address collision is to be avoided for device on the same bus, but for complex server systems, it is not easy to avoid address collision. Generally speaking, the EEPROM chip 22 commonly used at present can have 4 optional addresses, and for a bus in a complex system, these 4 optional addresses are not sufficient, so that address collision is usually avoided by adding the I2C Switch chip 21 in the system. In the prior art, the I2CSwitch chip 21 is usually added on the motherboard 1, and multiple I2C signals extended by the I2C Switch chip 21 are introduced at the end of each daughter card 2, in this architecture, the position of the EEPROM chip 22 chip in the system is not fixed, which has great difficulty for directional reading of software and asset information management.
In the framework of this embodiment, an I2C Switch chip 21 is disposed on the daughter card 2, an EEPROM chip 22 is connected to the I2CSwitch chip 21, and the I2C Switch chip 21 is connected to the motherboard 1 through an I2C bus. It is sufficient that one I2C bus at the motherboard 1 side is used for external expansion. It should be noted that the daughter Card 2 may be a Riser Card.
A gold finger 23 is further provided on the daughter card 2, and the I2C Switch chip 21 is connected to the connector 12 through the gold finger 23.
Specifically, the firmware 11 and the connector 12 are arranged on the motherboard 1, and the connector 12 connects the firmware 11 and the I2CSwitch chip 21 through I2C bus, so as to realize the connection between the I2C Switch chip 21 and the motherboard 1, where it is noted that the estimate on the motherboard 1 is BMC or PCH.
The chip of the EEPROM chip 22 is connected to the first channel of the I2C Switch chip 21, and in addition, in the system, the I2C addresses of the EEPROM chips 22 on all the daughter cards 2 are the same value, so the greatest meaning of the design is to support software blind reading, when the asset information is not obtained, the BMC or the PCH does not know the type of the daughter card 2 in the system, and by blind reading the information in the EEPROM chip 22 with a fixed address on the first channel of the I2C Switch chip 21, the information of the daughter card 2PN, description, slot information, speed, and the like is obtained, and the information can be defined according to the actual design, and the required information is burned into the EEPROM chip 22.
The above disclosure is only for the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can think of the inventive changes, and several improvements and decorations made without departing from the principle of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
