ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH BASEBOARD MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER UPDATING SYSTEM

摘要

A method for updating a baseboard management controller (BMC) of an electronic device, includes steps of: obtaining a sensor data record (SDR) table from a storage unit of the electronic device, the SDR table records a first kinds of sensor data and a second kind of sensor data, the second kind of sensor data includes a switch variable. Scanning the non-motherboard components of the electronic device to determine whether there is one non-motherboard component is corresponding to one of the second kind of sensor data of the SDR table, and setting the value of the switch variable of the corresponding one of the second kind of sensor to the predetermined value. Updating the sensor data of the BMC of the electronic device according to the first kind of sensor data and the second kind of sensor data whose switch variable is the predetermined value.
