Abstract

A method for testing systematic mother board and I/O system features that the systematic mother board to be tested is connected to an external computer. On testing basic I/O system, its object code is stored in the external computer and a memory card in whichtest program is stored is inserted the slot of the mother board to be tested. The object code is transferred to memory of system mother board by the external computer. On testing the systematic mother board, the test program is transferred to system mother board by the external computer.

Description

System host board and input-output system detection method
The present invention relates to a kind of system host board and input-output system (BA-SIC INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM is to call BIOS in the following text) detection method, particularly relate to a kind of simple and efficient height, and low system host board and the BIOS detection method of cost.
General computer system detection method comprises the steps:
One, the CPU (Central ProcessingUnit, CPU (central processing unit)) of system host board to be measured is inserted on the control module socket that stores trace routine.
Two, the socket with this control module is plugged on the socket of system host board for the CPU plant.
Three, start this control module this system host board is carried out testing.
As from the foregoing, detection method in the past can only be used the CPU below a speed, and the speed of CPU is changing always, if the rapid change of CPU, just detection method in the past could not be used, in addition, jack number on the control module socket is fixed, if the pin number of CPU has changed, the socket of planting for CPU just can not use, and present CPU is installed on the system host board with surface adhering, so can't be plugged on CPU on the socket of control module.
In addition,, whenever changed one edition, all needed object code is burnt to BIOS ROM (Read-Only Memory, read-only memory device) in the past at the BIOS initial stage of development, owing to can't detect, just in case wrong, can lose time and cost.
Fundamental purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of system host board and input-output system detection method rapidly of effectively reaching.
For achieving the above object, the present invention takes following measure:
System host board of the present invention and input and output detection method may further comprise the steps:
An external computer unit is provided, and this external computer unit has tandem or output/input interface arranged side by side.Utilize the tandem or the output/input interface arranged side by side of this external computer unit, system host board to be measured is connected with this external computer unit.
Whether wrong when detecting BIOS when: (1) is stored in this external computer unit with the object code of BIOS; (2) memory storage that will store the trace routine that is applicable to BIOS is plugged on the system host board to be measured slot for the object code storage arrangement plant usefulness that stores BIOS; (3) reprint the storage unit of the object code of BIOS from this external computer unit, can carry out testing the object code of BIOS to system host board to be measured; And when wanting the detection system motherboard whether wrong, reprint from the external computer unit be applicable to system host board trace routine to this system host board to be measured, just can carry out testing to system host board.
The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with drawings and Examples:
Fig. 1 shows a system host board to be measured and the connection diagram between the employed external computer in carrying out system host board of the present invention and BIOS detection method.
Whether wrong be system host board of the present invention and BIOS detection method detecting the process flow diagram of BIOS when to Fig. 2.
Fig. 3 is another system host board to be measured and the connection diagram between the employed external computer in carrying out system host board of the present invention and BIOS detection method.
The process flow diagram that Fig. 4 is system host board of the present invention and BIOS detection method when whether the detection system motherboard is wrong.
As shown in Figure 1, 2, a system host board 1 to be measured utilizes electric wire 14 to be connected with external computer Unit 2 via the tandem or the output/input interface arranged side by side of an external computer unit 2.System host board 1 has one and is used for slot 10 and first, second random memory unit 11 and 12 that ccontaining burning has object code BIOS ROM.In the present embodiment, first random memory unit 11 can be to be called as the storage unit SHADOW-RAM that protection is arranged), second random memory unit 12 can be system hosts storage unit or one storage card 13 (as shown in Figure 3) at random.
When being used in, the present invention detects a BIOS when whether wrong, a burning has the read-only memory device ROM3 of the trace routine that is applicable to BIOS can be plugged on the slot 10 of system host board 1, and the object code of BIOS to be measured can be stored in the external computer unit 2.In step S1, the feature board that system host board 1 to be measured is not activated (default funcions) is initialised, for example, and initialization wafer set, working storage, storer, output/input interface etc.In step S2, CPU working storage value is to be stored among this ROM3, and error detecting code is moved to second Random Access Storage Unit 12.
In step S3, whether second random memory unit 12 is detected normal.If normal, then tandem or output/input interface arranged side by side can be started as terminal and reprinting (download) interface in step S4.And whether the tandem output/input interface is detected normal in step S5.If normal, then activation first random memory unit 11 2 is reprinted the object code of BIOS to this first random memory unit 11 from the external computer unit in step S6.
In step S7, whether interrupt vector is detected normal.If undesired, second random memory unit 12 can be used for interrupt vector, or in step S9, detect whether reprinted the execution command group, if having, then in step S10, carry out each instruction of this execution command group singly.When each instruction of instruction group is performed when finishing, the display (figure does not show) that CPU working storage value is displayed on this external computer unit 2 is gone up and will be from the external computer unit 2 be further received instruction.
Shown in Fig. 3,4, system host board 1 in Fig. 3 more comprises a storage card 13 at random, and with detect BIOS whether wrong step different be, when whether wrong the present invention be used for detection system motherboard 1 when, the trace routine that is applicable to system host board is that data are reprinted to first random memory unit 11 in step S6.When second random memory unit 12 can not use or when system host board to be measured 1 does not have storage unit at all, the storage unit of storage card 13 (figure does not show) is the storage unit as system host board 1 to be measured at random, makes testing to carry out smoothly.
System host board of the present invention and BIOS detection method have following effect:
One, the present invention not only can detect system host board, also can detect BIOS, fully Decide according to the trace routine of external computer unit, therefore very easy to use, must be with the object code of BIOS Burning saves time and cost on ROM.
Two, utilize the random access memory card, if system host board does not have memory cell or memory cell can not make With, but each main element on the test macro motherboard still.
Three, because the external computer unit provides Presentation Function, if displayless on the system host board still can Test.
Four, because the external computer unit provides the function of download, if the object code of BIOS is compressed, when When BIOS carried out certain segment encode that will decompress, the external computer unit also can provide this section object code.
