Embodiment
Implement and understand the present invention for the ease of persons skilled in the art, now describe the present invention by embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, should be understood that the embodiment that the present invention is not limited to describe here.
The BIOS module implementation method that multi-mode computer system of the present invention starts may further comprise the steps:
Guarantee that at first computing machine is in certain dormant state, this moment is if there is the mode select signal input, waken system at first then, which kind of dormant state is BIOS module judgement system be in, make different disposal and mutually deserved startup sign is set according to different dormant states, when POST finished, the BIOS module started to corresponding modular system according to the sign of the startup in the internal memory.
The described dormant state of this method refers to S1 (Power onSuspend), S3 (Suspend to RAM), S4 (Suspend to Disk) and the S5 (Soft Power Off) of ACPI regulation and stipulation; The various battery saving modes of APM regulation and stipulation.
The described system of this method need finish certain initialization action after then powering on and enter the S5 state again if be not in above-mentioned dormant state.
The model selection order owing to keep the preceding system status of dormancy this moment in the internal memory, thereby is ignored if be in Power On states such as S1, S3 this moment by the described system of this method, does corresponding wake events processing with the protection user data.
The described system of this method is in S4 or S5, and then the BIOS module is communicated by letter with dash receiver by specific serial ports, USB mouth, 1394 mouthfuls etc., realizes multi-mode startup according to mode select signal.
The described mode select signal of this method is meant the level signal that dash receiver produces when passing through model selection push-botton operation on computer cabinet or the Infrared remote controller.
The present invention selects and startup by implementation patterns such as particular port such as serial ports, USB mouth or 1394 ports in the multi-mode computing machine, when system is in certain dormant state, mode select signal is waken system at first, the BIOS module starts computing machine to corresponding system according to current dormant state and mode signal.
Fig. 1 is that multi-mode computer system USB starts the process flow diagram of realizing in the embodiments of the invention.The present invention is further described in more detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing 1 and specific embodiment.In an embodiment of the present invention, computer system can start to Windows XP as required; Also can start to television mode, can also start to a key and recover, or start to CD pattern or the like.
At first, of the present inventionly guarantee that system is in certain dormant state (frame of broken lines among the figure in), when system is in G3, because the relevant setting of USB controller is lost in the South Bridge chip at this moment, for guaranteeing that the USB start wakes up, when AC (AC power) recovers, need the equipment of Auto Power On and initialization necessity,, enable specific USB port arousal function (step 1.) simultaneously as south bridge USB Controller.Like this, system can wake up by USB port.At this moment, if the USB dash receiver has mode control signal input (step 2.), the BIOS module judges at first whether system is in S3, if system is in S3, then ignores mode control signal, and directly waken system is to S0 (step 3.).Otherwise, if system is in S4 or S5 (step 4.), then the BIOS module is with initialization USB device Host end (in the south bridge), the start-up control transmission is shaken hands with the USB dash receiver, if shake hands failure, then start-up system is to S0, if success, then sending mode selects request command to USB dash receiver (step 5.); After the USB dash receiver is received the mode request order, communications protocol according to a preconcerted arrangement, backtrack mode setting value (step is 6.), the value returned according to the USB dash receiver of BIOS module starts computing machine to corresponding pattern then: if rreturn value is 0, then start to Windows XP; If rreturn value is 1, then start to television mode, if rreturn value is 2, then starts to a key and recover, if rreturn value is 3, then start to CD pattern or the like.
Fig. 2 is that multi-mode computer system of the present invention starts the hardware logic schematic diagram.Now 2 pairs of hardware logics of the present invention are described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Involved in the present inventionly be the device of computer utility, comprise dash receiver (multi-mode is provided with control device), comprising: MCU (multifunctional controller), USB controller and 1394 controllers, super IO (Super IO) and north and south bridge.Wherein, dash receiver can be supported one or more communications protocol simultaneously, as the usb communication agreement, at this moment, utilize the USB controller to handle, if employing serial communication, then need to make response by south bridge again via Super IO processing, if system is in the G3 state, be Mechanical Power Off (mechanical closing), then the present invention guarantees self-starting computing machine when Power recovers by the design of hardware and software to Super IO, and enters the S5 state again after initialization string mouth, USB or the correlation control unit such as 1394 again.Can accurately waken system and enter corresponding pattern with the mode select signal that guarantees dash receiver.To with USB or 1394 communications, then need have MCU (as 8051) preservation mode to select value request in the multi-mode control device, and when corresponding main equipment (USB HOST Controller in as south bridge) is inquired about, return this value.Simultaneously, before signal send by the south bridge processing, need carry out the selection and the signal route of agreement, start-up mode disorder when avoiding different protocol signals to take place simultaneously from software and hardware.
The startup implementation method of multi-mode computing machine provided by the invention, be applicable to most computing machine and computer operating system, get final product the quick startup of very effective each modular system of realization by simple equipment interpolation and software setting, the user only needs can realize by the model selection button on the computer cabinet or on the Infrared remote controller, and this method is supported USB, communication protocols such as 1394, adapts to the current computer Developing Trend in Technology.
Though described the present invention by embodiment, those of ordinary skills know, the present invention has many distortion and variation and does not break away from spirit of the present invention, for example, the present invention has described embodiments of the invention by USB interface, should be understood that other interface: as the standard serial paralled interface of present PC, IEE488,1394 and the interface that uses of PS2 all can be used for realizing the present invention, therefore, wish that appended claim comprises these distortion and variation and do not break away from spirit of the present invention.
