Problems solved by technology

However, the size of the base-image file is mostly 1MB or more, so downloading the entire base-point image file is time-consuming and frustrating, especially in environments with limited network speeds
In addition, in actual use, it is often only some parts of the basic input-output system that need to be updated, rather than the entire basic input-output system, such as: logo components (logo) or central processing unit design code (CPU microcode), only for Downloading the entire base image file to update these parts is obviously time consuming and inefficient

Embodiment Construction

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1A , it is a flowchart of a method for updating a BIOS in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a method for updating a BIOS in a computer system includes the following steps: First, decompose the BIOS image file into a group of BIOS files (step 110). Next, add or replace at least one basic I / O update file to the set of basic I / O files to form a set of updated basic I / O files (step 120). Finally, package the set of updated basic I / O files to form an updated image file (step 130).

[0024] In other words, the method provided by this embodiment only adds or replaces the part of the BIOS that needs to be updated. Therefore, when updating the BIOS, the user does not need to download the complete BIOS image file from the Internet, but only needs to download the BIOS update file that needs to be updated, which can greatly reduce the time required for downloading the file .

Abstract

A method for updating basic I / O system includes decomposing basic I / O image file to be a set of basic I / O file, adding at least one basic I / O update file on said set of basic I / O file to form a set of update basic I / O file and packing said set of update basic I / O file to form a update image file.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a maintenance method of a basic input-output system, in particular to a method for updating a basic input-output system. Background technique [0002] With the popularization and progress of electronic component manufacturing technology, various computer systems are gradually popularized in the daily life of the public. In addition to the well-known personal computer, various portable electronic devices with exclusive functions, such as MP3 music players, digital cameras, mobile phones, and personal digital assistants (PDA), etc., It can also be regarded as a computer system. [0003] Most computer systems have a basic input / output system (Basic Input / Output System; BIOS), which is used to initialize various input and output units for users to use when the computer system is turned on. As the number and functions of various input and output units in the computer system continue to increase, the basic input and output system a...
