Problems solved by technology

However, the current solution of storing Uefi firmware in the FLASH chip of the server motherboard, with the increase and development of Uefi firmware functional requirements, the Uefi firmware file to be upgraded is getting larger and larger, and the capacity of the FLASH chip also needs to be increased accordingly. lead to increased costs
In addition, the time for flashing the Uefi firmware file to be upgraded to the FLASH chip and loading the Uefi firmware file from the FLASH chip will also be longer, which will cause the server to go offline for too long

Abstract

The invention provides a firmware loading method and device and electronic equipment. According to the method, when a firmware file is loaded, a controller establishes network connection with a specified server in which a to-be-loaded firmware file is remotely stored; obtaining a to-be-loaded firmware file from the specified server, and storing the to-be-loaded firmware file in a specified memory of the target server; and sending the storage address of the to-be-loaded firmware file to the AP, so that the AP loads and operates the to-be-loaded firmware file based on the storage address. Visibly, according to the firmware loading method provided by the invention, the to-be-loaded firmware file is not flashed on the FLASH chip any more, so that the flashing time of flashing the FLASH chip required by firmware upgrading can be avoided, the power-off frequency of the server is reduced, and the firmware upgrading efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to software upgrade technology, and in particular, to a firmware loading method, device and electronic device. Background technique [0002] With the large-scale expansion of global data centers, general and standardized firmware is increasingly unable to meet the business needs of different users. This makes more and more users customize exclusive firmware according to their own business needs. And this proprietary firmware is especially common in large Internet companies with huge data center demands. [0003] Servers require frequent firmware upgrades during their lifecycle to add functionality or fix security vulnerabilities. For example, the Uefi (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) firmware used to boot the system, especially the server Uefi firmware, contains various customized functions and customized board firmware, which makes the size of the running Uefi firmware file by The original 2Mb has gradually gr...
