Embodiment 1

[0041] see figure 1 , the present invention is a method for displaying file information and directory information in the basic input output system (BIOS) update step of a computer system. (BIOS program) to start its operation and configuration settings. And the programming program of BIOS is made up of a series of instruction sets, in order to allow the user to just be able to carry out the update of BIOS in the use stage of BIOS, the BIOS program recorded in BIOS memory 15 defines a plurality of hotspots representing different instructions. key.

[0042]When the user executes the BIOS program after the computer system 10 is turned on, and presses a certain key from the basic input device 12 such as a keyboard, the scan code (scancode) of the pressed key will be sent to the central processing unit (CPU). )11 for processing. At this point, the BIOS program will capture the scan code of the triggered key and process it.

[0043] see figure 2 , is the flowchart of Embodimen...

Embodiment 2

[0047] see image 3 , is a flowchart of Embodiment 2 of the present invention. It is different from Embodiment 1 in that the display device of the computer system displays the obtained file information and directory information at one time, and the user only needs to select the required BIOS file by pressing the up and down keys of the basic output device.

[0048] Wherein the BIOS memory can be a memory composed of a programmable non-volatile memory.

[0049] Above-mentioned is about using disk to store the usage situation of BIOS file, in addition, use other storage devices (such as hard disk, CD, ZIP disk, LS-120 disk, magnetic tape) to store BIOS file and carry out the present invention All methods are within the scope of the present invention.

[0050] Based on the above, the use of the method of the present invention can effectively solve the current technical problem. When the user forgets the name of the BIOS file and its directory location, he needs to enter the ope...

Abstract

A method for displaying the information above archives and directory in the step of updating BIOS of computer system initialized by a program includes generating a trigger signal to interrpt said program, reading a pointer or index data while executing an algorithm operation to obtain said information, displaying the information, choosing needed BIOS archives from said information and running a burn-in program to program said BIOS archives in the memory of BIOS.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for displaying file information and directory information in the file updating step, especially a method for displaying file information and directory information in the basic input output system (BIOS) updating step of a computer system. Background technique [0002] In computer system architecture, the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) is the most basic software in the basic operation of the computer system. The BIOS is mainly composed of a series of low-level instruction sets, which provide the most basic hardware testing, define the characteristics of the computer system and handle basic tasks when the computer system is running. For example, when the computer system is turned on, it executes the computer system boot self-test, detects and manages basic peripheral devices such as hard disks and keyboards, and transmits information between connection ports and so on. Therefore, when the computer system is turned on,...
