Description

Failure detector
Technical field
The utility model is about a kind of failure detector, particularly is applied in one and has Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) (Basic Input/Output System about a kind of; BIOS) failure detector in the electronic equipment.
Background technology
Along with the continuous development of mechanics of communication and the continuous change of consumer demand, many electronic equipments are in function aspects also seeking change and innovation constantly, correspondingly, the electronic equipment for example various hardware in the computer equipment is more and more abundant, quantitatively also more and more many, in case wherein a certain hardware breaks down, and the maintenance personal uncertain be which hardware is when breaking down, can only take fault detect and rejected program that whole computing machine carries out hardware one by one apart, thereby increased the difficulty of maintenance, and seriously wasted troubleshooting time.
Industry adopts firmware---Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) (the Basic Input/Output System of computer equipment internal configurations more at present; Hereinafter to be referred as BIOS) start selftest (the Power-on Self-Test that has in the program; Hereinafter to be referred as POST) program, each hardware of internal system to computer equipment carries out fault detect, its function mode is when computer equipment is started shooting, start boot (booting) and enter BIOS, after entering BIOS, at first can carry out the POST program, fault detect in the POST program comprises that the various test procedures of startup are to determine for example Memory Controller Hub, Video Controller, serial communication controller, the parallel port communication controller, keyboard controller, whether computer equipment such as Floppy Disk Controller and hard disk controller hardware capability is correct, in the POST program is carried out if find when wrong, then can be by on the screen of computer equipment, showing the identification code (POST code) of error message, or indicate detected fault place by the mode of alarm sound, make things convenient for the user to search out of order hardware location, get rid of to carry out follow-up fault.
Can remind the user with the screen display error message or in the mode of alarm sound; the common serious fault of right and wrong; if the POST program detects computer equipment hardware when catastrophic failure critical failures such as (for example system clock) makeing mistakes occurring; computer equipment then can directly be shut down; do not finish as yet owing to various initializing sets this moment; thereby can't send any prompting or signal, and then the user can't learn the concrete fault occurrence positions of computer equipment hardware by the detection of POST program.
Therefore, carry out the fault detect of each hardware of computer equipment, can't detect the fault state of computer equipment effectively one by one with the POST program.
At the problems referred to above, industry is used a kind of Debug Card (Debug Card), the type that it can cooperate on it diode displaying computer system of installing to make mistakes.Wherein, it generally is the content setting that depends on BIOS that the position of this Debug Card is provided with, common methods is to make BIOS that identification code is sent to 378 interfaces, just be sent to the connectivity port (Printer Port) that connects printer, then Debug Card is inserted on the connectivity port of this printer, can find in testing process when wrong that this Debug Card shows light that should identification code.Yet this mode needs to buy in addition Debug Card, has not only increased cost burden, also can't directly show relevant error information (must carry out interpretation by the professional person), comparatively inconvenience in the use.
Some dealer is to use baseboard management controller (Baseboard ManagementController; BMC) chip record trouble situation, this mode need can be learnt failure message by mainboard (MB) is carried out assembling test, the cost that expends time in, and when carrying out assembling test easily because of factors such as jig cause erroneous judgement, and then causes the judgement of mistake.
In sum, how to propose a kind of failure detector, avoid disadvantages of the prior art, also have simultaneously and save the time of searching the fault happening part, the effect that improves breakdown maintenance efficient, the technical matters that real field for this reason needs to be resolved hurrily at present.
The utility model content
For overcoming the shortcoming of above-mentioned prior art, fundamental purpose of the present utility model is to provide a kind of failure detector that can fast and accurately search the fault happening part.
Another purpose of the present utility model is to provide a kind of and reduces the cost, improves the failure detector of ease of use.
A purpose more of the present utility model is to provide a kind of failure detector, can avoid the erroneous judgement that causes because of factors such as jigs, prevents the erroneous judgement of mistake.
For reaching above-mentioned main and other purpose, the utility model provides a kind of and is applied in one and has Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) (Basic Input/Output System; BIOS) failure detector in the electronic equipment, wherein, this Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) is that each hardware unit in this electronic equipment is carried out a trace routine, and exports an operation part (POST code) respectively according to each stage in this trace routine when this trace routine is carried out; The utility model failure detector comprises: this failure detector comprises: a storage element, store a plurality of operation parts that each hardware unit normally moves, exported when this Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) is carried out this trace routine in this electronic equipment and a plurality of according to this electronic equipment in the device code that sets of each hardware unit of each control area; One main control module, this Basic Input or Output System (BIOS) to this electronic equipment in each hardware unit when carrying out this trace routine, detect the operation part of each hardware unit, and judge whether the operation part that is detected is identical with the operation part of this storage unit stores, if then proceed to detect, if not, then, extract a device code from this storage element according to the operation part corresponding hardware device that is detected; And a display module, show this main control module from the device code that this storage element extracted, the hardware unit that this electronic equipment of prompting user breaks down.
Compared with prior art, failure detector of the present utility model is to store a plurality of operation parts and multiple arrangement code in storage element, detect the operation part of each hardware unit by a main control module, and judge whether the operation part that detects is identical with the operation part of this storage unit stores, if, then proceed to detect, if not, then according to the operation part corresponding hardware device that detects, extract a device code from this storage element, show this device code, the hardware unit that this electronic equipment of prompting user breaks down, can fast and accurately search the fault happening part, and then improve breakdown maintenance efficient.Therefore device of the present utility model has advantages such as cost is low, easy-to-use, can avoid the erroneous judgement that causes because of factors such as jigs, prevents the erroneous judgement of mistake.
