Description

Operating system boot method

The present invention relates to a method of booting a work system.

The general computer operating system boot process is as shown in Figure 1. After the hardware is turned on, the system initialization and the initialization parameters are loaded to the boot process before entering the operating system. Initially, in step 102, when the power and timing of the hardware such as the CPU or the peripheral chip are confirmed, the hardware is turned on, and then, in step 104, the system reads the BIOS boot program, performs system initialization, and includes system configuration analysis. And hardware detection, or the user enters the BIOS to set. For example, analyze the CPU model, memory size, and hard disk model, and check for the presence of peripheral monitors, keyboards, and hard disks, and make basic settings. After completing the above steps, the system settings are changed as if new initialization parameters were generated. Thereafter, in step 106, the core of the system loads the initialization parameters into the boot process, and finally, at step 108, enters the operating system.

The invention provides a method for starting a working system. The booting method includes the steps of: starting the hardware booting; determining whether there is a trigger signal; when there is no trigger signal, reading an initialization parameter from a storage device, and loading the initialization parameter to a booting program; executing the booting procedure; and starting the operating system .

The method for starting the operating system described above achieves the effect of reducing the boot time by conditionally simplifying the booting process.

The above described objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description.

2 is a flow chart illustrating a method of booting a work system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. First, starting from step 202, when the power is input to the computer, all the chipsets, including the CPU, the north-south bridge, and the peripheral chips, need to wait for the correct voltage and timing to operate. After the hardware is turned on, step 204 is performed, and the system determines whether there is a trigger signal. Since the addition or replacement of peripheral hardware is monitored by the control chip. According to the trigger signal sent by the control chip, it can be determined whether there is a changed hardware. In addition, the user can also manually set the trigger signal. In this embodiment, if there is a hardware transformation, the first booting system will perform step 206 to initialize the system. It includes analysis of the CPU model, memory size and hard disk model, detection of peripheral displays, keyboards and hard drives, etc. and basic settings, or the user enters the BIOS to set. Through initialization, the system generates new initialization parameters. Thereafter, in step 208, the system stores initialization parameters in a storage device, such as a hard drive, a cache or a storage chip, and reboots, returning to step 202.

When it is turned on again, the system will detect the trigger signal as the basis for initialization. Under normal circumstances, if there is no hardware change, the peripheral chip will not issue a trigger signal, or the artificial setting trigger signal is not performed, then steps 210-212 are performed, and the system reads the previously stored initialization parameters from the storage device, and Enter the boot process and start the operating system. Later, as long as no trigger signal is detected, after the power is turned on again, the system does not need to perform initialization and storage initialization parameters, directly load the previously stored initialization parameters to the boot process, and complete the boot process.

In the end, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that they can easily use the disclosed concept and the specific embodiments to change and design other structures that can perform the same purpose without departing from the invention and the scope of the claims.
