  • Patent number: 9417967
    Abstract: In a method for automatically recovering a basic input-output system (BIOS) of a computing device, the computing device includes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) ROM, a storage device, and a supper I/O (SIO) controller. The SPI ROM stores a first BIOS booting block and a main BIOS, and the SIO controller stores a second BIOS booting block. An integrity of the main BIOS stored in the SPI ROM is checked when the computing device is powered on. The first BIOS booting block boots the computing device when the main BIOS is partially damaged, and the second booting block powers on the computing device when the main BIOS is fully damaged. A backup BIOS is obtained from the storage device, and is written into the SPI ROM to update data of the main BIOS.

  • Publication number: 20150113321
    Abstract: In a method for recovering a BIOS of a computer system, the computer system includes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) ROM and a storage device. The SPI ROM stores a BIOS booting block and a main BIOS, and the storage device stores a backup BIOS. The BIOS booting block of the SPI ROM is locked in a normal operating state of the computer system, and the main BIOS is checked to determine whether the main BIOS is damaged when the computer system is powered on. The BIOS booting block of the SPI ROM is unlocked when the main BIOS is damaged, and the BIOS booting block is enable to recover the main BIOS according to a backup BIOS stored in the storage device. After the main BIOS has been recovered successfully, the computer system boots normally and enters an operating system (OS) successfully.

  • Publication number: 20150095632
    Abstract: In a computer booting method for a computer system, the computer system includes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) ROM and a supper I/O (SIO) controller. The method initializes a backup BIOS booting block of the SIO controller when the computer system is powered on, and detects whether an original BIOS booting block of the SPI ROM is damaged. A memory address for obtaining the backup BIOS booting block is changed from the SPI ROM to the SIO controller when the original BIOS booting block of the SPI ROM is damaged. The method further restarts the computer system, and executes a main BIOS of the SPI ROM to perform a power-on self test (POST) procedure of the computer system using the backup BIOS booting block of the SIO controller, to make sure that the computer system boots normally.
