Problems solved by technology

The BMC chip will have a serial peripheral interface flash memory (Serial Peripheral Interface Flash, SPI Flash) to store the firmware of the BMC. The engineer will burn the prepared firmware into the Flash, and the BMC chip will read the firmware information in the Flash to the In the memory, you can work according to your needs, but it takes a long time to burn the BMC firmware each time, which is extremely inconvenient for engineers to debug

Embodiment Construction

[0013] like figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the application environment of the BMC startup system of the present invention. In this embodiment, the BMC startup system 100 runs in a server 1 to control the startup of the BMC 10 . The application of the BMC startup system 100 needs to be realized by means of the functional modules of the server 2 , and the server 1 is connected to the server 2 through the network 3 for communication. The BMC 10 also includes a memory 101 and a processor 102 . The memory 101 includes the Flash 1011 on the BMC 10 and the RAM 1010 on the BMC 10 . The network 3 may be the Internet or an intranet of an enterprise.

[0014] The server 2 includes a TFTP module 20 , a DHCP module 21 and an NFS module 22 . The server 2 may be equipped on the server 1 or may be independent of the server 1 .

[0015] In this embodiment, the DHCP module 21 centrally manages all IP network setting data, is responsible for processing the DHCP request of t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a BMC starting method. The method comprises the step of setting, wherein the starting mode of a BMC is set by setting an order of an original equipment manufacturer; the step of allocating, wherein when the BMC enters a network starting mode, a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) module of a server end allocates an IP address to the BMC, and network communication between the server end and the BMC is established; the step of downloading, wherein the BMC downloads the Kernel needed by BMC starting through a trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) module of the server end; the step of running, wherein the Kernel runs in a root file system (Rootfs) of a network file system (NFS) module according to the starting parameters of the Kernel and the service provided by the NFS module of the server end, the file needed by BMC starting is loaded, the service of the Rootfs is loaded to a memory of the BMC to run through a guide loading program Bootloader of the BMC, and BMC starting is finished. The invention further provides a BMC starting system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a baseboard management controller (Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) starting system and method. Background technique [0002] The application of server is more and more widely used in today's society, and the application of BMC that monitors and manages its health status is also more and more widely used. Through the BMC, you can view the server status and obtain some data on the motherboard, which is very powerful. The BMC chip will have a serial peripheral interface flash (Serial Peripheral Interface Flash, SPI Flash) to store the firmware of the BMC. The engineer will burn the prepared firmware into the Flash, and the BMC chip will read the firmware information in the Flash to the In the memory, you can work as needed, but it takes a long time to burn the BMC firmware each time, which is extremely inconvenient for engineers to debug. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to ...
