Abstract
A method and an apparatus for data interaction between a BIOS and a BMC of a server, a device and a readable storage medium. According to the state of an IPMI link between a BIOS and a BMC, it is determined whether to perform data interaction. At the same time, whether the BMC cannot be activated due to abnormalities are determined by confirming whether the number of times of restarting the server reaches preset threshold at the BDS stage of the BIOS. When the number of times of restarting the server reaches the preset threshold and the BMC is still not activated, the BMC is determined to be abnormal. When the number of times of restarting the server has not yet reached preset threshold, the BIOS performs the action of restarting system, wherein preset threshold is confirmed by a variable self-defined inside the BIOS and may be set freely.
