依據本發明之一實施例，處理單元50例如是中央處理器(Central Processing Unit,CPU)，控制單元10係為一般晶片組系統中的南橋晶片或北橋晶片，可用以發送中斷訊號。基板管理控制單元20例如是基板管理控制器(Baseboard Management Controller,BMC)晶片。第一儲存單元30及第二儲存單元40例如是快閃唯讀記憶體(Flash Read Only Memory,Flash ROM)，但本發明並不以此為限，例如亦可能是電可抺除式唯讀記憶體(EEPROM)。基本輸出輸入系統韌體41則例如是基本輸入輸出系統(Basic Input Output System,BIOS)韌體，可用以記憶電腦週邊硬體相關設定，讓電腦正確管理並讓系統運作。而依據本發明之一實施例，韌體更新系統1可以為一般電腦系統之型式，例如筆記型電腦、桌上型電腦、平板電腦、伺服器等裝置，但本發明並不以此為限。 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the processing unit 50 is, for example, a Central Processing Unit (CPU). The control unit 10 is a south bridge chip or a north bridge chip in a general chip group system, and can be used to send an interrupt signal. The substrate management control unit 20 is, for example, a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip. The first storage unit 30 and the second storage unit 40 are, for example, flash read-only memory (Flash Read Only Memory (Flash ROM), but the invention is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, an electrically erasable read only memory (EEPROM). The basic output input system firmware 41 is, for example, a Basic Input Output System (BIOS) firmware, which can be used to memorize the computer peripheral hardware related settings, so that the computer can properly manage and operate the system. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the firmware update system 1 can be a general computer system, such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a server, etc., but the invention is not limited thereto.
依據本發明之一實施例，第一儲存單元30係用以儲存基板管理控制單元20之基板管理控制韌體31。舉例來說，在主機板出廠前，廠商會先將基板管理控制韌體31寫入基板管理控制單元20的快閃唯讀記憶體(即第一儲存單元30)中，以驅動基板管理控制單元20進行運作。第二儲存單元40則是用來儲存電腦系統之基本輸出輸入系統韌體41，同樣廠商在產品出廠前會先將基本輸出輸入系統韌體41寫入第二儲存單元40中。而基板管理控制韌體31及基本輸出輸入系統韌體41之更新可提升整體系統之執行效率。 According to an embodiment of the invention, the first storage unit 30 is configured to store the substrate management control firmware 31 of the substrate management control unit 20.

The update of the substrate management control firmware 31 and the basic output input system firmware 41 can improve the overall system execution efficiency.
接下來請參考圖2，係依據本發明之一實施例之基本輸出輸入系統韌體更新方法之步驟流程圖。以下將以圖1所示之韌體更新系統1說明本發明之韌體更新方法。但需注意的是，本發明之韌體更新方法並不以使用在圖1所示之韌體更新系統1為限。 Next, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flow chart of steps of a basic output input system firmware update method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The firmware updating method of the present invention will be described below with the firmware updating system 1 shown in FIG. It should be noted, however, that the firmware update method of the present invention is not limited to use the firmware update system 1 shown in FIG.
首先進行步驟S21：控制單元發送中斷訊號至處理單元。 First, step S21 is performed: the control unit sends an interrupt signal to the processing unit.
當韌體更新系統1欲進行更新基本輸出輸入系統韌體41時，首先由控制單元10發送中斷訊號至處理單元50。依據本發明之一實施例，中斷訊號為一軟體系統管理中斷(Software System Management Interrupt,SW SMI)。 When the firmware update system 1 wants to update the basic output input system firmware 41, the interrupt signal is first sent by the control unit 10 to the processing unit 50. According to an embodiment of the invention, the interrupt signal is a Software System Management Interrupt (SW SMI).
需要說明的是，在電腦系統中，系统管理中斷可因為觸發原因的不同而區分為硬體系统管理中斷(Hardware System Management Interrupt,HW SMI)或軟體系统管理中斷(Software System Management Interrupt,SW SMI)等類別。SW SMI係由軟體自發性觸動，一般是由軟體程式對特定硬體做寫入的動作而產生的，例如讀寫指定之輸出/輸入埠(IO port)。軟體程式如果需要BIOS對某一硬體做某方面的控制時，會透過下達特定的SW SMI指令告知BIOS其想要做的事情。作業系統、應用程式或驅動程式可以透過SW SMI來執行對應的預設程式。HW SMI則一般是由晶片組或外部發動。 It should be noted that in the computer system, the system management interrupt can be divided into a hardware system management interrupt (HW SMI) or a software system management interrupt (SW SMI) due to different triggering reasons. And other categories. SW SMI is triggered by software spontaneously. It is usually generated by a software program writing to a specific hardware, such as reading and writing the specified output/input port (IO port). If the software program requires the BIOS to control a certain hardware, it will tell the BIOS what it wants by issuing a specific SW SMI command. The operating system, application or driver can execute the corresponding preset program through SW SMI. The HW SMI is typically launched by a chipset or externally.
無論觸發的原因為何，電腦系統啟動系统管理中斷的程序大致相同，即透過控制單元10(例如是南橋晶片)上的系统管理中斷針腳SMI#傳送一系统管理中斷信號至處理單元50(例如是中央處理器)。接著，觸發處理單元50進入系統管理模式(System Management Mode,SMM)，此模式為處理單元50的最高權限模式，進入此模式後電腦系統原本正在執行的任務將被中斷。然後，處理單元50將透過記憶體控制器讀取位於第二儲存單元40(例如是Flash ROM)內的一特殊區域(一般為系统配置動態存取記憶體System Management Random Access Memory,SMRAM)內的程式以 判斷應執行何種中斷處理程式。此特殊區域中的程式稱為SMI處理程式，SMI處理程式屬於基本輸出輸入系統韌體41的一部分，在電腦系統開機的初期載入第二儲存單元40。 Regardless of the cause of the trigger, the computer system initiates a system management interrupt procedure that is substantially the same, that is, transmits a system management interrupt signal to the processing unit 50 via the system management interrupt pin SMI# on the control unit 10 (eg, a south bridge wafer) (eg, centrally processor). Next, the trigger processing unit 50 enters a System Management Mode (SMM), which is the highest privilege mode of the processing unit 50. After entering this mode, the task that the computer system is originally performing will be interrupted. Then, the processing unit 50 reads the special area (generally the system management random access memory, SMRAM) located in the second storage unit 40 (for example, the Flash ROM) through the memory controller. Program Determine which interrupt handler should be executed. The program in this special area is called the SMI handler. The SMI handler belongs to the basic output input system firmware 41 and is loaded into the second storage unit 40 at the beginning of the computer system boot.
於本實施例中，可以視作開機後啟動BIOS更新程式，此程式透過控制單元10傳送中斷訊號至處理單元50。 In this embodiment, the BIOS update program can be started after booting, and the program transmits the interrupt signal to the processing unit 50 through the control unit 10.
接著進行步驟S22：處理單元執行基本輸出輸入系統韌體，使基本輸出輸入系統韌體發送詢問指令至基板管理控制單元。 Next, step S22 is performed: the processing unit executes the basic output input system firmware, and causes the basic output input system firmware to send an inquiry command to the substrate management control unit.
處理單元50在接收到中斷訊號後，會讀取第二儲存單元40以執行基本輸出輸入系統韌體41，使基本輸出輸入系統韌體41發送詢問指令至基板管理控制單元20。依據本發明之一實施例，詢問指令為智慧平台管理介面(Intelligent Platform Management Interface,IPMI)指令。此詢問指令之目的在於要求基板管理控制單元20回報基板管理控制韌體資訊。 After receiving the interrupt signal, the processing unit 50 reads the second storage unit 40 to execute the basic output input system firmware 41, and causes the basic output input system firmware 41 to send an inquiry command to the substrate management control unit 20. According to an embodiment of the invention, the query command is an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) instruction. The purpose of this inquiry command is to require the substrate management control unit 20 to report the substrate management control firmware information.
接著進行步驟S23：基板管理控制單元回傳基板管理控制韌體資訊至基本輸出輸入系統韌體。 Then proceed to step S23: the substrate management control unit returns the substrate management control firmware information to the basic output input system firmware.
基板管理控制單元20在接收到詢問指令後，提供一基板管理控制韌體資訊，並將其傳送到基本輸出輸入系統韌體41。依據本發明之一實施例，基板管理控制韌體資訊中至少包含製造商資訊及機種/版本資訊。舉例來說，製造商 資訊可能是如宏碁、華碩等製造商之資訊，而機種資訊則例如是製造商產品之型號。 After receiving the inquiry command, the substrate management control unit 20 provides a substrate management control firmware information and transmits it to the basic output input system firmware 41. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate management control firmware information includes at least manufacturer information and model/version information. For example, the manufacturer Information may be information about manufacturers such as Acer, Asus, etc., and model information is, for example, the model number of the manufacturer's product.
接著進行步驟S24：基本輸出輸入系統韌體根據基板管理控制韌體資訊判斷是否進行更新基本輸出輸入系統韌體之程序。 Next, step S24 is performed: the basic output input system firmware determines whether to update the basic output input system firmware according to the substrate management control firmware information.
基本輸出輸入系統韌體41在接收到基板管理控制韌體資訊後，即可根據基板管理控制韌體資訊判斷是否要進行更新基本輸出輸入系統韌體41之程序。若是欲更新的基本輸出輸入系統韌體與基板管理控制韌體31相容，則進行基本輸出輸入系統韌體41之更新(步驟S25A)；否則即終止更新程序(步驟S25B)。 After receiving the substrate management control firmware information, the basic output input system firmware 41 can determine whether to update the basic output input system firmware 41 according to the substrate management control firmware information. If the basic output input system firmware to be updated is compatible with the substrate management control firmware 31, the update of the basic output input system firmware 41 is performed (step S25A); otherwise, the update procedure is terminated (step S25B).
若判斷進行更新基本輸出輸入系統韌體之程序，則接著進行步驟S25A：更新基本輸出輸入系統韌體。 If it is determined that the program for updating the basic output input system firmware is performed, then step S25A is performed: updating the basic output input system firmware.
若是欲更新的基本輸出輸入系統韌體與基板管理控制韌體31相容，則繼續進行更新基本輸出輸入系統韌體41之程序。需注意的是，有關於如何更新基本輸出輸入系統韌體41，應為發明所屬技術領域中具通常知識者所熟悉，為習知技術之範疇，於說明書中不再贅述。 If the basic output input system firmware to be updated is compatible with the substrate management control firmware 31, the process of updating the basic output input system firmware 41 continues. It should be noted that there is a description of how to update the basic output input system firmware 41, which should be familiar to those of ordinary skill in the art, and is not in the specification.
若判斷不進行更新基本輸出輸入系統韌體之程序，則接著進行步驟S25B：提供錯誤訊息並終止更新程序。 If it is judged that the program for updating the basic output input system firmware is not performed, then step S25B is performed: providing an error message and terminating the update program.
若是欲更新的基本輸出輸入系統韌體與基板管理控制 韌體31不相容，基本輸出輸入系統韌體41判斷不應進行更新程序，則基本輸出輸入系統韌體41提供一錯誤訊息提醒使用者，並直接終止更新程序。 If you want to update the basic output input system firmware and substrate management control The firmware 31 is incompatible, and the basic output input system firmware 41 determines that the update procedure should not be performed, and the basic output input system firmware 41 provides an error message to alert the user and terminate the update procedure directly.

首先進行步驟S31：基板管理控制單元根據基本輸出輸入系統韌體資訊判斷是否進行更新基板管理控制韌體之程序。 First, step S31 is performed: the substrate management control unit determines whether to update the substrate management control firmware according to the basic output input system firmware information.
當韌體更新系統1欲進行更新基板管理控制韌體31時，基板管理控制單元20必需根據基本輸出輸入系統韌體資訊判斷是否進行更新基板管理控制韌體31之程序。依據本發明之一實施例，基本輸出輸入系統韌體資訊包含基本輸出輸入系統韌體41之製造商資訊及版本資訊。在此製造商資訊指的是基本輸出輸入系統韌體41之製造商，例如是AMI、PHOENIX或是系統製造商如宏碁、華碩等。版本資訊則是基本輸出輸入系統韌體41之版本。若是基本輸出輸入系統韌體41與欲更新的基板管理控制韌體相容，則進行基板管理控制韌體31之更新(步驟S32A)；否則即終止更新程序(步驟S32B)。 When the firmware update system 1 is to update the substrate management control firmware 31, the substrate management control unit 20 must judge whether or not to update the substrate management control firmware 31 based on the basic output input system firmware information. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the basic output input system firmware information includes manufacturer information and version information of the basic output input system firmware 41. The manufacturer information refers to the manufacturer of the basic output input system firmware 41, such as AMI, PHOENIX, or system manufacturers such as Acer, Asus, and the like. The version information is the version of the basic output input system firmware 41. If the basic output input system firmware 41 is compatible with the substrate management control firmware to be updated, the substrate management control firmware 31 is updated (step S32A); otherwise, the update program is terminated (step S32B).
若判斷進行更新基板管理控制韌體之程序，則接著進行步驟S32A：更新基板管理控制韌體。 If it is determined that the program for updating the substrate management control firmware is performed, then step S32A is performed to update the substrate management control firmware.
若是基本輸出輸入系統韌體41與欲更新的基板管理控制韌體相容，則繼續進行更新基板管理控制韌體31之程序。需注意的是，有關於如何更新基板管理控制韌體31，應為發明所屬技術領域中具通常知識者所熟悉，為習知技術之範疇，於說明書中不再贅述。 If the basic output input system firmware 41 is compatible with the substrate management control firmware to be updated, the process of updating the substrate management control firmware 31 is continued. It should be noted that there is a description of how to update the substrate management control firmware 31, which should be familiar to those of ordinary skill in the art, and is not in the specification.
若判斷不進行更新基板管理控制韌體之程序，則接著進行步驟S32B：提供警告訊息並等待使用者決定是否繼進行更新程序。 If it is determined that the program for updating the baseboard management control firmware is not performed, then step S32B is performed: a warning message is provided and the user is determined to decide whether to continue the update procedure.
若是基本輸出輸入系統韌體41與欲更新的基板管理控制韌體不相容，基板管理控制韌體31判斷不應進行更新程序，則基板管理控制韌體31提供一警告訊息提醒使用者。此時使用者可選擇強制進行更新基板管理控制韌體31或是放棄進行更新程序。 If the basic output input system firmware 41 is incompatible with the substrate management control firmware to be updated, the substrate management control firmware 31 determines that the update procedure should not be performed, and the substrate management control firmware 31 provides a warning message to alert the user. At this time, the user can choose to forcibly update the substrate management control firmware 31 or give up the update procedure.
