TWI226017B - Method for detecting basic input/output system and updating power-on procedure - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for detecting basic input/output system and updating power-on procedure, which uses the updating reply program code in the memory of basic input/output system (BIOS) to detect if the system power-on BIOS images at the power-on area address in the peripheral storage device (such as hard disk) and the memory of BIOS (such EPROM) are the same during each time of computer power-on, so as to determine if the BIOS image can normally operate. When the detected BIOS image is abnormal, it can provide with selectively updating the power-on procedures and updating the BIOS image at the power-on area address in the peripheral storage device.

[Technical Field to which the Invention belongs]

Start-up: ί is a basic input and output system (BI0S) test and update ratio # 其 太卜 / cognition especially refers to a system that can be provided each time the computer is turned on, the system can be turned on and off in the system memory. Extraction of BIOS (bios image) and a method for updating the boot process. Prior technology] "In terms of computer, when the computer is turned on, it must do some management programs at startup, the so-called basic input and output System

Input / 〇utput System (BI0S), for example: Power-on self_test when the computer starts, and low-level settings such as drive, keyboard, screen, etc., and provide some controls for various and computer When the general user of the connected device updates the basic input and output system, in some cases, it may not work properly on the user's computer. Because the basic input and output system (BIOS) update procedure is cumbersome and burned The basic I / O system (BI 0 S) is not guaranteed to be successful. If the system is already working well, even if a new version of the basic I / O system (B 丨 〇s) is available for updating, it is not necessarily the best. If you choose, the system may have a negative impact or a decrease in performance. Therefore, if the user cannot or is unwilling to ^ perform ^ new problems, the manufacturer has the warranty and service obligations, and will return the original Wei to be updated. The chip of the input and output system (BI 0S) (together with the motherboard) is processed to update the firmware of the basic input and output system (BI 0 S). As far as the existing basic input-output system (B I 0 S) is updated,
