During a power-on self test, the controller initializes the memory, sets parameters of a shared space in the memory, disables the shared space, and generates an initialization command according to which the BMC obtains a size of the shared space and establishes an initialization setting for the shared space. Then, the controller generates a loading command according to which the BMC stores an executable file in the shared space through the controller, and the controller enables the shared space and generates a first storing signal according to which the processor runs the executable file to generate an execution completion signal. According to the execution completion signal, the controller disables the shared space and the processor ends the power-on self test.

  • Patent number: 8909837
    Abstract: A method for executing a system management interrupt (SMI) is provided. When a power on self test (POST) is executed, a first identifier is generated and stored into a system management mode block of a memory. During a process for starting an operating system (OS), the first identifier is read from the system management mode block as a second identifier, and the second identifier is stored into an OS block of the memory. When the OS wants to use a system management interrupt, the first identifier and the second identifier are respectively read from the system management mode block and the OS block. Afterwards, it is determined whether the first identifier and the second identifier are the same. If the first identifier and the second identifier are the same, the SMI is executed.

  • Patent number: 8689041
    Abstract: A method for protecting data in damaged memory cells by dynamically switching memory mode is provided. The method is adapted to an electronic device having a memory, which has a memory controller and at least one memory module, each of which is consisted of a plurality of memory cells, and the memory cells are divided into a plurality of pages. A power-on self test is executed and a mirror memory mode is activated to protect the data in the memory modules. An uncorrectable error of each page of the memory modules is detected by the memory controller when an operating system reads the memory. If the uncorrectable error in one page is detected, the memory module having the page is determined as a damaged memory module, and the mirror memory mode is switched to a spare memory mode, so as to protect the data in the memory modules.

  • Patent number: 8560867
    Abstract: A method for processing power-off suitable for a server system is provided. The server system includes a first node, a second node, and a power supply. The first and second nodes share the power supply. The method includes the following steps. A power-off process is performed by the first and second nodes respectively according to a power-off signal. An interception process is activated to intercept a completion signal generated in the power-off process, and an interrupt is triggered. The interrupt is performed by an interrupt handler, so as to detect whether the first and second nodes complete a power-off process. When the first and second nodes already complete the power-off process, the interception process is inactivated and the generated completion signal is recovered and transferred to the power supply for turning off a power.

  • Patent number: 8516298
    Abstract: A data protection method for damaged memory cells is provided. A power-on self-test (POST) is executed, and an initial backup memory is reserved in a memory. An operating system (OS) is executed, and data is loaded from a kernel region of the OS in the memory into a mirror region, so that when a processor accesses the data in the kernel region, it also accesses the data in the mirror region. An uncorrectable error (UE) is detected to determine a damaged page, and a backup page is selected from the initial backup memory or dynamically obtained from the OS to back up data in the damaged page. A mapping address of the damaged page and backup page are recorded into a page mapping table in a memory controller. Accordingly, when the OS accesses the damaged page, the memory controller accesses the backup page instead according to the page mapping table.
