  • Method for updating system information of a computer device
    Patent number: 10705827
    Abstract: A method for updating system information of a computer device is provided. The computer device includes a baseboard management controller (BMC) and a non-volatile memory. The method includes steps of: a) upon activation of the BMC, determining whether the BMC is in a power on reset (PoR) state, and obtaining current system information that is associated with the computer device; b) when it is determined that the BMC is in the PoR state, determining whether system information stored in the non-volatile memory conforms with the current system information; and c) when the determination made in step b) is negative, storing the current system information in the non-volatile memory.

  • Method of updating baseboard management controller firmware for fan speed control
    Patent number: 10120676
    Abstract: When a baseboard management controller (BMC) is used to control a fan speed of a fan unit of a server by executing a firmware with fan parameter data stored in one temporary storage region, the fan parameter data is updated by receiving fan parameter update data and storing the fan parameter update data in another temporary storage region, and updating the fan parameter data using the fan parameter update data after determining that the received fan parameter update data is valid.
