Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a computer information technology, and more particularly to a computer platform host control unit data burning control method and system, which can be applied to a computer platform For example, a network server, and the server is configured with a specific type of host management unit, such as a host management unit of a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), for providing a data burning control for the BMC host controller. Function, in order to burn the BMC program data code to the BMC host control unit. [Prior Art] BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is a kind of host management unit commonly used in network servers, which can operate independently without being controlled by the operating system to monitor and control various devices in the network server ( For example, operating conditions including a central processing unit, a hard disk device, a fan type heat sink, a power supply, a network connection device, and the like. The H2168 chip module provided by Hitachi Corporation φ (Hitachi Corporation) is a BMC host control unit commonly used in network-servers. In the specific implementation, the BMC host control unit is controlled by the computer program to perform its server host control function; therefore, whenever the server manufacturer newly develops a new version of the BMC program data code, the user needs to The BMC host management unit in the network server performs an update procedure, thereby burning the new version of the BMC program data code to the BMC host management unit. At present, a BMC host control unit data burning method is 5 18879 1297436. The BMC host control unit is switched from the normal mode through the Gpi〇Purpose Input/Output wheel interface on the chip module of the BMC host control unit. Switch to flash mode. However, a disadvantage of this implementation is that different hardware specifications or operating system server boards are usually set with different GPIO configurations, so in the development of the program, there is a need for different types of The GPIO configuration on the server platform to design multiple different versions of the BMC data burning control program _cutmty) makes it extremely inconvenient to apply and does not meet the cost-effectiveness of development. ~ [Summary of the Invention] # In the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a computer platform host control unit (10) programming control method and system, and to understand various hardware specifications And the feeding machine platform to the data burning control function common to the following host control unit. The computer platform host control unit data burning control method of the present invention is designed to be applied to a computer platform, such as a network feeding or desktop personal computer 'for the BMC master function on the computer platform' Thereby, the _ program shell code is burned to the BMC host management unit. The computer platform host control unit data burning control of the present invention at least includes: (1) response - user-controlled burning parts out of the burning request ^ (7) (four) to find the _ number to the booting main control unit, so that the booting main control unit Back to 6 18879 1297436 to perform a system management t-burning mode, the host control unit switches to the burning mode, and the button sequence, thereby switching to the programming mode, the host tube), the host control The unit is programmed to, by means of, the program code of the group = the data to be burned and (4) the host control unit after the completion of the data burning program; the interrupt signal is sent to the booting control unit, and the corresponding system is managed: The normal mode of system management interruption: change the second order, the main: empty unit responds to the ground control unit to switch to the normal mode. The hunting and the main body structure, the electric control system of the present invention at least includes a single device data to be issued by a user-controlled burning request event; recording ^ can be returned (Β) - burning The mode switching module can respond to the request message, the message request message, and the pair of programming messages to be sent; the power-on main control unit causes the power-on master g to __尨谠 to interrupt the programming mode switching procedure; This line - the system tube is switched to the programming mode; (6) the programming unit is switched to the 焯轷槿 and the host management unit = the knife is changed to the line nucleus after the program is executed on the host management unit, thereby The program data code is burned to the host management order, and it can 'send the message after the data burning program is completed; and (9) - the normal mode switching module, which can be wrestled & recorded by the module The control system records the 'a message' and the corresponding system management interrupts the power-on master unit, so that the power-on master unit responds to the normal mode switching procedure of the ground-breaking official system interrupt, thereby switching the 'early switch to Normal mode. 5 ^ 18879 7 1297436 - / This is the computer platform host control unit data burning control method and system is characterized by the BIMI SMI system management interrupt signal to switch the fMC host control unit to the burning mode; and then burn After the program is completed, the BMC host management unit is also switched back to the normal mode by the SMI system management interrupt signal. This feature can be used in the BMC host control unit of the "Power Month" flat-mouth host control unit data burning control method and system for various types of server platforms with different hardware specifications and operating systems. A general data burning control function, that is, a software program for implementing the present invention, can be applied to various server platforms as long as a version is written, so that the application is more convenient and conforms to the cost-effectiveness of development. [Embodiment] The following is an embodiment of a computer flat main residual unit data burning control method and system according to the accompanying drawings.
