Problems solved by technology

[0004] The disadvantage of this method is that every time the upgrade tool sends a data packet, it needs to establish and release a network session control, and it depends on the stability of the network. Due to the unstable network, it is easy to cause problems with the data packet, which will eventually lead to The firmware upgrade fails, so repeated transmission is required, the entire upgrade process takes a long time, and the upgrade efficiency is low

Embodiment Construction

[0046] The core of the present application is to provide a firmware upgrade method, which can be applied to a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, baseboard management controller). BMC is a server-specific management controller, which can automatically monitor the running status of the server and adjust it in time according to the current status. BMC can manage the firmware upgrade of other chips, such as BIOS (Basic Input Output System, basic input and output system) chip, CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device, complex programmable logic device) chip, SAS-Expander (SerialAttached SCSI, serial SCSI ( Small Computer System Interface, (small computer system interface)) backplane and PSU (Power Supply Unit, power supply), etc.

[0047] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation methods. Ap...

Abstract

The invention discloses a firmware upgrading method, which is applied to a baseboard management controller (BMC), and comprises the following steps: receiving a firmware upgrading command for a targetchip; reading a target upgrading file of the target chip in a local target folder; dividing the target upgrading file into a plurality of data packets according to an upgrading protocol of the targetchip; and transmitting each data packet to the target chip through the bus, so as to enable the target chip to perform firmware upgrading operation based on the received data packets. By applying thetechnical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the problem of data finally transmitted to the target chip due to network instability can be effectively avoided, the firmware upgradingsuccess rate can be improved, and the firmware upgrading efficiency can be improved. The invention furthermore discloses a firmware upgrading apparatus and device, and a storage medium, which have corresponding technical effects.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of computer application technology, in particular to a firmware upgrade method, device, equipment and storage medium. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of computer technology, servers are used more and more frequently. During the operation of the server, there will always be a problem of upgrading the firmware of the chip in the server. [0003] In the prior art, chip firmware is upgraded through in-band and out-of-band independent of the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller, baseboard management controller) in the server. The specific process is that the upgrade tool reads and analyzes the firmware upgrade file, then packs the data according to the upgrade protocol, and sends each data packet to the BMC one by one by establishing and releasing the network session control, and the BMC then sends the received data to the firmware to be processed. Upgraded chips, perform firmware upgra...
