Abstract:
A method for supporting TCM communication by a BIOS of an ARM server, including: setting an access mode of a LPC bus device to a 4-byte mode by means of a BIOS of an ARM server; causing the BIOS to perform data communication with a TCM chip of the LPC bus device in the 4-byte mode; in response to the BIOS reading a register by means of the LPC bus device, determining a type of the register; in response to determining that the type of the register is a specific FIFO register, changing a control register from the 4-byte mode to a single-byte mode, and performing single-byte read-write on the specific FIFO register; and in response to completion of read-write of the specific FIFO register, changing the control register to the 4-byte mode by means of the BIOS, and performing a read-write operation on other FIFO registers.
