In this embodiment, the first register changes the stored logical value according to the update signal. The initial logical value of the second register is equal to a first logic value, such as a logic zero.

該監控單元11電連接該處理單元12，並根據該更新信號，判斷該處理單元12是否異常。在本實施例中，該監控單元11包含一計時器，該計時器從一預設正數值倒數到零，再重複地從該預設正數值倒數到零，舉例來說，如反覆地從511倒數至0，每次從511倒數至0花費1秒。該監控單元11在每一預定時間區間內，即該計時器從該預設正數值倒數到零所需的時間內，如1秒，偵測該暫存單元13的該第一暫存器的邏輯值是否有發生變化。當在該預定時間區間內，該第一暫存器的邏輯值沒有發生變化時，該監控單元11判斷該處理單元12操作於該異常模式並產生一重置信號。 The monitoring unit 11 is electrically connected to the processing unit 12, and determines whether the processing unit 12 is abnormal according to the update signal. In this embodiment, the monitoring unit 11 includes a timer that counts down from a preset positive value to zero, and then repeatedly counts down from the preset positive value to zero, for example, as repeatedly from 511. Count down to 0, it takes 1 second to count down from 511 to 0 each time. The monitoring unit 11 detects the temporary storage period in each predetermined time interval, that is, the time required for the timer to count down from the preset positive value to zero, such as 1 second. Whether the logical value of the first register of the element 13 has changed. When the logic value of the first register does not change within the predetermined time interval, the monitoring unit 11 determines that the processing unit 12 operates in the abnormal mode and generates a reset signal.

在本實施例中，當該監控單元11產生該重置信號時，該第二暫存器的邏輯值由該第一邏輯值變為一第二邏輯值，如邏輯1。 In this embodiment, when the monitoring unit 11 generates the reset signal, the logic value of the second register changes from the first logic value to a second logic value, such as logic 1.

該處理單元12還根據該重置信號，決定是否重新讀取並執行該唯讀記憶體2的該程式碼以重新啟動該基板管理控制器1。且該處理單元12在每次啟動後，當該第二暫存器的邏輯值等於該第二邏輯值時，將該隨機存取記憶體3的該參數資料傳送至另一電子裝置，以供一系統管理者根據該參數資料解決該基板管理控制器1之異常的根本原因，例如該系統管理者可以根據該參數資料的該等硬體暫存器(Hardware Registers)的數值，或被定義在韌體程式(Firmware Programs)與系統日誌(Syslogs)的該等變數等，獲得該基板管理控制器1在發生異常的前一時刻的運作狀況，進而找出解決該基板管理控制器1發生異常的根本原因。在本實施例中，該電子裝置是另一電腦設備，該處理單元12以電子郵件的方式傳送至該另一電腦設備，其中該電子郵件地址為預先設置，當基板管理控制器因異常而重啟時，便可自動寄出。而在其他實施例中，該電子裝置也可以是該同一電腦系統的其他電子裝置，如硬碟，不在此限。特別值得注意的是：當該電腦系統開啟電源而啟動時，該第二暫存器132的邏輯值會是該第一邏輯值，而當該基板管理控制器1重新啟動之後，該第二暫存器132的邏輯值並不會被重設，而保有重新啟動之前的邏輯值。 The processing unit 12 further determines, based on the reset signal, whether to re-read and execute the code of the read-only memory 2 to restart the substrate management controller 1. And the processing unit 12 transmits the parameter data of the random access memory 3 to another electronic device when the logical value of the second temporary register is equal to the second logical value after each startup. A system administrator solves the root cause of the abnormality of the baseboard management controller 1 according to the parameter data, for example, the value of the hardware registers of the parameter manager according to the parameter data, or is defined in The firmware of the firmware program and the system log (Syslogs) obtains the operation status of the substrate management controller 1 at a time before the abnormality occurs, and further finds that the substrate management controller 1 is abnormal. root cause. In this embodiment, the electronic device is another computer device, and the processing unit 12 is transmitted by email to the other computer device, wherein the email address is preset, and the substrate management controller is restarted due to an abnormality. It can be sent automatically. In other embodiments, the electronic device may also be other electronic devices of the same computer system, such as a hard disk, not limited thereto. Especially noteworthy is: when the computer system is powered on and started The logic value of the second register 132 will be the first logic value, and after the baseboard management controller 1 is restarted, the logic value of the second register 132 will not be reset. Keep the logical values before restarting.

綜上所述，藉由該基板管理控制器1執行基板管理控制方法，即執行預先定義並儲存於該唯讀記憶體2的該程式碼以執行該基板管理控制方法，使得該監控單元11判斷該處理單元12是否發生異常，並藉由該隨機存取記憶體3儲存該相關於該基板管理控制器1之運作狀況的參數資料，使得該基板管理控制器1在重新啟動後，能將異常發生之前的參數資料傳送至另一電子裝置，以供系統管理者找出根本原因，故確實能達成本發明之目的。 In summary, the substrate management controller 1 executes the substrate management control method, that is, executes the code defined in advance and stored in the read-only memory 2 to execute the substrate management control method, so that the monitoring unit 11 determines Whether the processing unit 12 generates an abnormality, and the parameter data related to the operating condition of the substrate management controller 1 is stored by the random access memory 3, so that the substrate management controller 1 can be abnormal after restarting. The parameter data before the occurrence is transmitted to another electronic device for the system administrator to find the root cause, so that the object of the present invention can be achieved.

一種基板管理控制方法，適用於一基板管理控制系統監看一電腦系統的運作狀況，該基板管理控制系統包含一唯讀記憶體、一隨機存取記憶體、及一基板管理控制器，該基板管理控制器包括一處理單元及一監控單元，該基板管理控制方法執行下列步驟：(a)藉由該唯讀記憶體儲存一程式碼；(b)藉由該處理單元在啟動後讀取該唯讀記憶體的該程式碼，並操作在一正常模式及一異常模式之間，且產生一指示目前操作模式的更新信號，當操作於該正常模式時，該處理單元根據該感測j信號監看該電腦系統的運作狀況，並將一相關於該基板管理控制器之運作狀況的參數資料儲存於該隨機存取記憶體，當操作於該異常模式時，該處理單元無法監看該電腦系統的運作狀況；(c)藉由該監控單元根據該更新信號，判斷該處理單元是否異常，當判斷該處理單元操作於該異常模式時，該監控單元產生一重置信號；及(d)藉由該處理單元根據來自該監控單元的該重置信號，重新讀取並執行該唯讀記憶體的該程式碼以重新啟動該基板管理控制器，並在重新啟動後，將重新啟動之前，即該處理單元操作在該正常模式下最後儲存於該隨機存取記憶體的該參數資料傳送至另一電子裝置。 A substrate management control method is applicable to a substrate management control system for monitoring operation status of a computer system, the substrate management control system comprising a read-only memory, a random access memory, and a substrate management controller, the substrate The management controller includes a processing unit and a monitoring unit, and the substrate management control method performs the following steps: (a) storing a code by the read-only memory; (b) reading the program by the processing unit after startup Reading the code of the memory only, and operating between a normal mode and an abnormal mode, and generating an update signal indicating the current operation mode, when operating in the normal mode, the processing unit is based on the sensing j signal Monitoring the operation status of the computer system, and storing parameter data related to the operation status of the baseboard management controller in the random access memory. When operating in the abnormal mode, the processing unit cannot monitor the computer. (c) determining, by the monitoring unit, the processing based on the update signal Whether the unit is abnormal, the monitoring unit generates a reset signal when it is determined that the processing unit operates in the abnormal mode; and (d) re-reads and executes by the processing unit according to the reset signal from the monitoring unit The code of the read-only memory is used to restart the baseboard management controller, and after restarting, before the restart, that is, the processing unit operates in the normal mode and is finally stored in the random access memory. The parameter data is transmitted to another electronic device.
