Description

Configuration setting method, system, device and computer readable medium of motherboard expansion slot

The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a PCIE slot configuration setting method, system, device and computer readable medium.

When the previous motherboard expansion slot was set to automatic, it was actually one of the five settings (X16/X8x8/X4x4x8/X8x4x4/X4x4x4x4), and it did not achieve the meaning of the automatic option. There are two main ways to automatically adjust the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot. One is to set according to the information of BMC FRU (BMC: Baseboard Management Controller; FRU: Field Replaceable Unit). The other one is to set according to the bandwidth of the identified device. The disadvantage is that the BIOS (Basic Input Output System, for the basic input output system) can only obtain FRU information and identify the device until the middle of the execution, which leads to the motherboard expansion after the setting is completed. After the slot is installed, the BIOS needs to be restarted once, and reading the FRU also needs to be executed when the BMC is running normally.

As shown in Figure 1a, in one embodiment, the PCIE slot configuration setting method of the present invention includes the following steps:

S11: Determine whether the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is set automatically.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1b, the PCIE slot configuration setting method of the present invention includes the following steps: when there are N motherboard expansion slots, start from the first said motherboard expansion slot to determine (N =1, N represents the number of PCIE Slot (motherboard expansion slot)). The basic input and output system sequentially determines whether the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is automatically set (BIOS checks whether the Nth PCIE Slot is set to Auto (automatic)). When the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is automatically set, the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot configuration is completed based on the first preset rule. Read the values of the three general-purpose input/output ports of the expansion slot of the motherboard through the basic input and output system (read the values of GPIO0~2 corresponding to the corresponding PCIE Slot); based on the second preset rule The values of the three general-purpose input/output ports set the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot (BIOS configures the actual behavior of Auto (automatic) according to the read value of GPIO0~2). Check whether it is the last PCIE Slot. When it is "Yes", it ends; when it is "No", N=N+1. When the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is not set automatically, the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot configuration is completed according to the default value. Check whether it is the last PCIE Slot (motherboard expansion slot), when it is "Yes", it ends; when it is "No", N=N+1.

Specifically, it also includes sequentially determining whether the configuration of the motherboard expansion slots is automatically set, which means that the number of the motherboard expansion slots is at least one, and the motherboard expansion slots can also be two or three. It is also possible to judge each motherboard expansion slot based on step S11, step S12, and step S13 of the present invention, and realize the configuration setting of all the motherboard expansion slots in turn. The automatic setting means that the configuration of the expansion slot of the motherboard is preset to automatic (Auto). When the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is automatically set, the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot configuration is completed through step S12. When the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is not automatically set, the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot configuration is completed through step S13.

In other words, when the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is automatically set, when the value of the three universal input/output ports of the motherboard expansion slot is read through the basic input output system *0* (indicating the third The bit and the first bit can be any value (three-digit binary value), then the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is set to X16.

Or, based on the basic input output system reading the values of the three universal input/output ports of the motherboard expansion slot to automatically set the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot, the basic input output system can be read at a very early stage Corresponds to the values of the three general-purpose input/output ports. After the reading is completed, the actual operating mode of the motherboard expansion slot can be directly set according to the second preset rule, without the basic input and output system restarting again, and the automatic setting is truly achieved. Obviously, the configuration of the motherboard expansion slots X16, X8x8, X4x4x8, X8x4x4, and X4x4x4x4 respectively corresponds to the values of the three general-purpose input/output ports *0*, 111, 011, 110, 010, which are just examples.

When the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is not set automatically, the second setting module 23 completes the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot configuration.

The first setting module 22 is used for completing the setting of the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot based on the first preset rule when the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is automatically set.

Specifically, the first setting module 22 is used to read the values of the three universal input/output ports of the expansion slot of the motherboard through the basic input output system; and based on the second preset rule according to the three universal input / The value of the output port sets the configuration of the expansion slot of the motherboard. The general-purpose input/output port is GPIO (General-purpose input/output).

Specifically, the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot includes X16, X8x8, X4x4x8, X8x4x4, and X4x4x4x4. The X16, X8x8, X4x4x8, X8x4x4, and X4x4x4x4 represent specific specifications of the configuration of the expansion slots of the existing motherboard.

Specifically, the second preset rule is: the configuration of the motherboard expansion slots X16, X8x8, X4x4x8, X8x4x4, and X4x4x4x4 respectively correspond to the values of three universal input/output ports with five different three-bit two The numeric value of the carry system. For example, the specific corresponding values are shown in the following table: GPIO0 GPIO1 GPIO2 The configuration of the motherboard expansion slot * 0 * X16 0 1 0 X4x4x4x4 1 1 0 X8x4x4 0 1 1 X4x4x8 1 1 1 X8x8

That is, the configurations of the motherboard expansion slots X16, X8x8, X4x4x8, X8x4x4, and X4x4x4x4 respectively correspond to the values of the three general input/output ports *0*, 111, 011, 110, 010. In other words, when the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is automatically set, when the value of the three universal input/output ports of the motherboard expansion slot is read through the basic input output system *0* (indicating the third The bit and the first bit can be any value (three-digit binary value), then the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is set to X16.

Or, based on the basic input output system reading the values of the three universal input/output ports of the motherboard expansion slot to automatically set the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot, the basic input output system can be read at a very early stage Corresponds to the values of the three general-purpose input/output ports. After the reading is completed, the actual operating mode of the motherboard expansion slot can be directly set according to the second preset rule, without the basic input and output system restarting again, and the automatic setting is truly achieved. Obviously, the configuration of the motherboard expansion slots X16, X8x8, X4x4x8, X8x4x4, and X4x4x4x4 respectively corresponds to the values of the three general-purpose input/output ports *0*, 111, 011, 110, and 010 are just examples. The values of the three general-purpose input/output ports can also be other five different three-digit binary values.

The second setting module 23 is used for completing the setting of the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot according to the preset value when the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is not automatically set.

Specifically, the preset value means that the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot includes one of X16, X8x8, X4x4x8, X8x4x4, and X4x4x4x4. That is, the configuration of the motherboard expansion slot is set to one of X16, X8x8, X4x4x8, X8x4x4 and X4x4x4x4.
