Embodiment Construction

[0011] The method of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] The specific configuration steps are as follows

[0013] (1) Motherboard hardware settings A group of models with configuration selection switch jumpers are connected to the GPIO of the PCH chip, and the server motherboard connects the presence indication signals of each hardware module to the GPIO of the PCH chip;

[0014] (2) According to the different models of the motherboard, the BIOS compiles the model information function module, sets up the model information database, and sets the corresponding relationship between the model information and the GPIO group value;

[0015] (3) After power-on, the BIOS reads the hardware connection status monitored on the GPIO of the PCH chip, and selects and adds functional modules in the model information database to realize the intelligentization of hardware configuration.

[0016] Through the above implementat...

Abstract

The invention discloses a heterogeneous model information automatic configuring method based on GPIO (general purpose input/output). The configuring steps are as follows; (1) a group of model configuration selection switch jumper wires is arranged on mainboard hardware and is connected with the GPIO of a PCH (platform controller hub) chip, and meanwhile existence marking signals of hardware modules are connected with the GPIO of the PCH chip; (2) model information functional modules are programmed in the BIOS (basic input/output system), a model information library and the corresponding relationship of model information and GPIO group value are set in the BIOS according to different models of mainboards; and (3) when a computer is started up, the BIOS selects and adds the corresponding functional module in the model information library by reading the hardware connection status detected by the GPIO of the PCH chip, so that the intelligentization of the hardware configuration is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer communication, in particular to a method for automatically configuring information of multiple models based on GPIO detection. Background technique [0002] With the increasing integration of servers, manufacturers and users attach great importance to the simplification and intelligence of the human-computer interaction interface between servers and peripherals. BIOS versions with different functions emerged as the times require; the complexity of BIOS versions has brought a series of unexpected negative effects. It is difficult to achieve the consistency of version control, and it is easy to cause confusion of product specifications; second, at the user end of the server motherboard, in order to enable the corresponding hardware and software function configuration, it is necessary to strictly control the upgrade process of the BIOS version, which greatly increases the user's concern for The difficulty an...
