在研究PCI固件规范和查看PXE Boot Agents的现有实现时,我误解了它应该如何工作。
根据PCI固件规范,在POST过程中,BIOS应将Option ROM映射到UMB内存(0xC000-0xF000),然后通过偏移量0x3调用“Init”入口点,此后BIOS可以禁用Option ROM。
PXE oprom binary由三部分组成:“初始化代码”,“基本代码”和“UNDI代码”。 BIOS仅将“初始化代码”加载到UMB中。稍后通过直接从闪存复制(从PCI闪存BAR(BAR1,根据英特尔规范))将基本代码和UNDI代码加载到内存中。
问题:需要这种工作算法的原因是什么? 供应商为什么不使用BIOS机制而不将整个Extension ROM加载到内存中(而是从Flash BAR中复制)?
答案 0 :(得分:0)
整体式PXE选件ROM是一个单元,但是现在大多数PXE选件ROM具有拆分的体系结构(分为UNDI选件ROM和BC选件ROM)。虽然,BC ROM通常嵌入在BIOS中,甚至可能不作为可选ROM出现。
如今,NIC仅具有一个选件ROM,即UNDI选件ROM。
