Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantageous effects of the present application more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, and it should be understood that the examples described below are only illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The multi-concurrency firmware upgrading method provided by the invention is a firmware upgrading scheme which supports batch concurrency upgrading of various different types of firmware and is easy to expand and maintain, and can be applied to firmware equipment upgrading management of a baseboard management controller BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) or other embedded products. The following embodiments will describe the multi-concurrency firmware upgrade method of the present invention in detail taking a multi-concurrency firmware upgrade scenario based on BMC as an example.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a multi-concurrency firmware upgrade method is provided, including the steps of:
s11, responding to a multi-concurrency firmware upgrading request of a user side, and acquiring a corresponding multi-concurrency firmware upgrading packet according to a preset file transmission protocol; the multi-concurrent firmware upgrade package comprises a plurality of firmware upgrade file packages and corresponding upgrade configuration files;
the upgrade configuration file config is internally provided with version, type, upgrade security-related verification information and the like for identifying a firmware upgrade file package; correspondingly, the multi-concurrency firmware upgrade package is a firmware file, and the specific content is determined according to actual upgrade requirements. For example, if only a single firmware of the BMC needs to be upgraded, the multiple concurrent firmware upgrade package only includes a firmware upgrade file package and an upgrade configuration file (the firmware type is BMC) of the BMC firmware; for another example, if multiple firmware such as BMC, PNOR (Process NOR)), PSU (Power supply), CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) are to be upgraded at the same time, the multiple concurrent firmware upgrade package may include a firmware upgrade file package and upgrade configuration file (firmware types are respectively corresponding BMC, PNOR, PSU) of multiple firmware such as BMC, PNOR, PSU, CPLD, etc.; it should be noted that version and upgrade security related verification information in the upgrade configuration file are configuration information used for conventional firmware upgrade, and will not be described in detail herein.
In practical applications, the preferred upgrade modes for different firmware may be different in view of cost savings or operational constraints. Based on the above, in order to support the concurrent upgrade function of a plurality of different firmware and simultaneously meet the requirement that different firmware selects different upgrade modes, the embodiment preferably supports the concurrent upgrade of different types of firmware using different upgrade modes, and only needs to complete the packaging of the concurrent firmware upgrade package according to the upgrade file requirement of different upgrade types; specifically, the step of generating the multi-concurrency firmware upgrade package includes:
determining firmware to be upgraded according to firmware upgrading requirements, and acquiring upgrading types of the firmware to be upgraded;
according to the upgrading type of each firmware to be upgraded, obtaining a firmware upgrading file packet required by a corresponding upgrading process, and setting a corresponding upgrading configuration file; the upgrade type may be set uniformly in principle to a firmware upgrade mode for executing corresponding upgrade through a preset firmware upgrade type object, but in order to provide more friendly upgrade support for the user side, in this embodiment, the upgrade type is preferably set to include at least one of firmware upgrade and command upgrade, when only a single firmware upgrade exists, the upgrade type may select firmware upgrade or command upgrade, and when multiple different types of firmware upgrade concurrently, different types of firmware may select a suitable upgrade mode according to actual requirements, so that a situation that firmware upgrade and command upgrade coexist simultaneously exists; it should be noted that, the upgrade configuration file may further write the corresponding upgrade type into the upgrade configuration file for subsequent generation of firmware version objects, in addition to the version, type, and upgrade security related verification information;
firmware upgrading can be understood as a mode of sequentially executing firmware upgrading steps based on corresponding firmware upgrading file packages through firmware upgrading class objects developed according to different types of firmware upgrading processes, and command upgrading can be understood as a mode of completing firmware upgrading through certain fixed upgrading commands in combination with corresponding upgrading tools; correspondingly, firmware upgrading uses different upgrading types to provide firmware upgrading file packages with different contents, specifically, the step of obtaining the firmware upgrading file packages required by corresponding upgrading processes according to the upgrading types of the firmware to be upgraded includes:
when the upgrade type is firmware upgrade, obtaining a firmware upgrade file required by a corresponding upgrade flow, and packaging to generate a firmware upgrade file packet; when the upgrade type is command upgrade, a corresponding firmware upgrade file and a firmware upgrade tool are obtained, and a firmware upgrade file packet is generated by packing, for example, if the pnor upgrade type of a host is command upgrade, the corresponding pflash tool is required to be packed; the psu upgrade type is command upgrade, and upgrade tools psutills provided by different manufacturers are required to be packaged;
and packing and compressing each firmware upgrade file packet and the corresponding upgrade configuration file to obtain the multi-concurrency firmware upgrade packet.
According to the embodiment, the concurrent upgrading of different types of firmware is realized by supporting the upgrading of the firmware class, the command upgrading is also supported on the basis of improving the upgrading efficiency, and the mode that different upgrading types are provided for the user side to select is provided, so that the user side can operate and use conveniently, and meanwhile, the extra development manpower investment can be avoided to the greatest extent, and the manpower cost is effectively saved.
After the user side generates the multiple concurrent firmware upgrade package through the steps of the method, the user side can send a corresponding multiple concurrent firmware upgrade request, and the multiple concurrent firmware upgrade package is transmitted to a system needing to execute firmware upgrade, such as a BMC or other embedded products, through a preset file transfer protocol. That is, the preset file transfer protocol may be understood as an interface protocol that a system that needs to execute firmware upgrade communicates with a user side to obtain multiple concurrent firmware upgrade packages, including any protocol that may implement a file transfer function, such as https protocol, ftp protocol, scp protocol, etc., and may be selected according to application requirements in practical application, so that the method has better development convenience, and can effectively ensure reliable transfer of multiple concurrent firmware upgrade packages, which is not particularly limited herein.
S12, decompressing the multi-concurrency firmware upgrade package, and generating firmware version objects shared by a plurality of processes according to each firmware upgrade file package and corresponding upgrade configuration files; the firmware version object corresponds to different types of firmware upgrading file packages packaged in the multiple concurrent firmware upgrading packages, namely, for a scene of concurrent upgrading of multiple different types of firmware devices, multiple corresponding firmware version objects are generated based on different firmware upgrading file packages and upgrading configuration files obtained by decompressing the multiple concurrent firmware upgrading packages.
In order to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of different types of firmware upgrades on the basis of satisfying the management of different types of firmware upgrades by adopting an object-oriented concept, in this embodiment, preferably, a firmware version object is set to include a firmware version number, a firmware type, a firmware upgrade type, upgrade verification information and a firmware upgrade file packet path, where the firmware type is used for each firmware upgrade type object to determine whether the firmware upgrade needs to be executed by itself, the firmware version number, the firmware upgrade type and the upgrade verification information are used for performing security upgrade verification on the firmware upgrade to be executed, and the firmware upgrade file packet path is used for providing an acquisition path of a firmware upgrade file packet required by the firmware upgrade. Specifically, the step of generating the firmware version object shared by the processes according to the firmware upgrade file packages and the corresponding upgrade configuration files includes:
according to each upgrade configuration file, obtaining a firmware version number, a firmware upgrade type and upgrade verification information of the corresponding firmware to be upgraded;
storing each firmware upgrading file packet of the firmware to be upgraded in a preset firmware upgrading file packet path, and generating a corresponding firmware version object in a process sharing mode; wherein, the process sharing can be realized by using DBus objects or other shared memory modes; DBus is an advanced inter-process communication mechanism, and DBus objects are matchers or callback functions packaged when the DBus communication mechanism is used, so that inter-process data sharing can be realized; the shared memory is a most efficient communication mode among processes, a memory area for a plurality of processes to exchange information is arranged in the kernel, and the memory area is mapped to a private address space by the processes needing to access, so that the memory area of the kernel can be directly read and written by the processes based on a mutual exclusion lock or a semaphore equivalent synchronous mechanism, and the effect of data copying is not needed; that is, the DBus object or the shared memory can realize multi-process sharing of the firmware version object, so that each firmware upgrading class object can acquire the required firmware upgrading file packet to execute the corresponding firmware upgrading task; detailed methods of how to use DBus objects or shared memory technology are implemented with reference to the prior art are not described here again.
According to the embodiment, through a process sharing mode, each firmware upgrading file package and the corresponding upgrading configuration file are converted into the corresponding process sharing firmware version object, different hardware links are distinguished by managing each different type of firmware upgrading class object by adopting an object-oriented thought, decoupling of codes is achieved, expansibility is higher, the level is clearer, maintenance and new addition are easier, and reliable technical support is provided for executing corresponding upgrading tasks by the firmware upgrading class object.
S13, broadcasting a firmware version object generation signal to each preset firmware upgrading class object through interprocess communication, so that each firmware upgrading class object executes multiple concurrent upgrading tasks according to the firmware version object generation signal and sends a corresponding firmware upgrading execution result signal; the inter-process communication mechanism can be determined according to the actual application requirement, and the embodiment preferably adopts a notification mechanism for realizing the firmware version object generation signal by inter-process communication based on a message queue, inter-process communication based on a DBus signal or inter-process communication based on a Socket.
Inter-process communication based on a message queue can be understood as an inter-process communication mechanism implemented by adopting a linked list to realize a message queue maintained by a system kernel, adding a message to the tail end of the message queue through one process, and reading the message from the message queue by another process; inter-process communication based on a DBus signal can be understood as an inter-process communication mechanism that registers a message type of interest to a bus in advance by a receiver process, and when the DBus bus receives a message corresponding to the signal message type, forwards the message to the receiver process; inter-process communication based on Socket can be understood as a programming interface implementation based on local Socket, supporting an inter-process communication mechanism on the same host of two protocols of byte stream and datagram; it should be noted that, the above various interprocess communication mechanisms can all realize the signal broadcasting effect generated by the firmware version object required by the scheme, and can be realized by selecting any mode in combination with the actual application requirement and referring to the prior art; based on the mature interprocess communication mechanism, development efficiency can be improved, reliability of transmission of firmware version object generation signals to each preset firmware upgrading class object can be effectively guaranteed, and reliable guarantee is provided for successful execution of firmware upgrading tasks based on the firmware upgrading class objects.
In principle, the firmware version object generating signals are broadcast to the preset firmware upgrading class objects by the method, and only the firmware upgrading execution result signals returned by the firmware upgrading class objects are required to be waited. However, considering that in practical application, a firmware version object generation signal or a firmware upgrading execution result signal fails to be sent or a firmware upgrading fails to be sent due to unsmooth communication between processes, so that a firmware upgrading related file always occupies a disk, and unnecessary resource waste is caused; specifically, the step of broadcasting the firmware version object generation signal to each preset firmware upgrading class object through inter-process communication includes:
broadcasting the firmware version object generation signal to each firmware upgrading class object, starting a timing task waiting for a firmware upgrading execution result, and deleting all the firmware version objects and corresponding temporary files when the preset waiting time is exceeded; the preset waiting time period can be set according to actual requirements or experience values, and is not particularly limited herein; correspondingly, after the timing task waiting for the firmware upgrading execution result is overtime in the preset waiting time, the temporary file to be deleted is understood to be each firmware upgrading file packet and the corresponding upgrading configuration file obtained by decompressing the multiple concurrent firmware upgrading packets.
The firmware upgrading object is developed in advance according to upgrading modes of different types of firmware related to the embedded product, so that objects corresponding to upgrading tasks can be executed correctly according to received firmware version object generating signals, and the objects comprise a firmware upgrading object ItemUpdate corresponding to the upgrading modes and a command upgrading object Command Updater, and can be developed and set in a targeted mode according to application requirements of actual products. When a system signal generated by a new firmware version object is received, determining whether the firmware upgrading requirement is met according to the type attribute (firmware type) of the firmware version object, and further determining whether an upgrading task needs to be executed; specifically, the step of executing multiple concurrent upgrade tasks by each firmware upgrade class object according to the firmware version object generation signal and sending a corresponding firmware upgrade execution result signal includes:
responding to the firmware version object generation signal, traversing each firmware version object by each firmware upgrading class object, and judging whether the firmware upgrading of the firmware upgrading class object needs to be executed according to the corresponding firmware type;
if yes, carrying out security upgrade verification according to the firmware version number, upgrade verification information and firmware upgrade type of the corresponding firmware version object, acquiring a firmware upgrade file packet according to a corresponding firmware upgrade file packet path after verification is passed, executing an upgrade task, and sending a corresponding firmware upgrade execution result signal when success or failure of upgrade is determined; it should be noted that, for the command class upgrade object processing flow, the firmware upgrade file and the corresponding firmware upgrade tool need to be obtained simultaneously according to the firmware upgrade file packet path to execute the corresponding upgrade command;
if not, the signal is directly abandoned, and the sleep is continued to wait for the new firmware version object to generate the signal.
In this embodiment, each firmware upgrade class object is based on an object-oriented management idea and a firmware version object notification mechanism, so that different hardware links are effectively distinguished, code logic decoupling is realized, maintenance and expansion are facilitated, synchronous upgrade operations of a plurality of different types of firmware devices can be realized, firmware upgrade efficiency is greatly improved, application requirements of wholesale upgrade of different device firmware are effectively met, and for a new type of firmware upgrade task, manpower is only required to be input when the corresponding firmware upgrade class object is designed and developed at the rear end (if command upgrade is supported, even manpower input is not required), so that manpower cost can be effectively saved.
S14, responding to each firmware upgrading execution result signal, obtaining a corresponding firmware upgrading execution result, and carrying out corresponding upgrading prompt according to the firmware upgrading execution result; the firmware upgrading execution results comprise upgrading failure and upgrading success, and the processing modes of users required by the two different upgrading results are different; in order to further improve user experience on the basis of ensuring normal execution of firmware upgrade, so that a user can know upgrade results of different firmware in time to perform targeted maintenance, in the embodiment, after the firmware upgrade execution results are identified, a targeted prompt is preferably made; specifically, the step of performing the corresponding upgrade prompt according to the firmware upgrade execution result includes:
judging whether the firmware upgrading execution result is successful in upgrading, if so, prompting that the corresponding firmware version is successful in upgrading, deleting the corresponding firmware version object and the temporary file, otherwise prompting that the corresponding firmware version is failed in upgrading; it should be noted that, the prompt herein may be displayed on a screen of the management upgrade system, or may be fed back to the user side through a corresponding communication mechanism, which is not limited herein;
the embodiment adopts a firmware upgrading type object feedback corresponding upgrading execution result signal mechanism, can ensure that corresponding temporary tar and firmware version object firmware_version are cleared in time after the upgrading of all modules is completed, and can avoid the accumulated occupation of upgrading firmware to disk space caused by subsequent repeated upgrading.
In order to facilitate understanding of the system implementing the process of the above scheme, the method includes the steps that if a multi-concurrent firmware upgrading task including a BMC, a PNOR and a firmware Command is required to be received by the BMC and sent by a user side, after the user side prepares a required multi-concurrent firmware upgrading packet firmware, tar according to corresponding upgrading requirements, a firmware upgrading request is sent, after a user unified interface user_firmware_updater of the BMC baseboard management controller receives the multi-concurrent firmware upgrading request, one or more firmware version (firmware version) objects are generated by decompressing the firmware, and broadcast to different firmware upgrading objects including the BMC firmware upgrading object, the PNOR firmware upgrading object and the Command firmware upgrading object, and a waiting timeout task is started, and if the firmware upgrading is required to be executed according to the type of the version object, a firmware upgrading signal is finished after the user unified interface user_firmware_firmware_updater of the BMC baseboard management controller receives the multi-concurrent firmware upgrading request, and if the firmware upgrading task is executed according to the corresponding type of the version object, a single firmware upgrading signal is finished; after receiving the execution result signals of each firmware upgrade, the user unified interface deletes the corresponding firmware version object and the corresponding firmware upgrade file until all the firmware version objects and the corresponding firmware upgrade files are deleted after receiving the execution result signals of all the firmware upgrades or waiting for the timing task to be overtime, and the current multiple concurrent firmware upgrade task is ended, and the specific process flow diagram is shown in fig. 2.
According to the embodiment of the application, when the firmware requirements of different types are newly increased through the unified user interface and the mode of supporting different upgrading types, the firmware upgrading of the equipment can be supported only by newly increasing the firmware upgrading type object, the development investment of a user side is reduced, the labor cost is effectively saved, the concurrent upgrading of a plurality of different types of firmware equipment is realized through introducing the firmware version object notification mechanism, the firmware upgrading efficiency is greatly improved, and the object-oriented thought management upgrading object mechanism is adopted to distinguish different hardware links, so that the code logic decoupling is realized, the hierarchy is more distinct, the expansibility and the maintainability (the newly increased upgrading task are facilitated) are effectively enhanced, and the application value is higher.
Although the steps in the flowcharts described above are shown in order as indicated by arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in order as indicated by the arrows.
