Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
A dynamic configuration method of a communication protocol, a wireless communication apparatus, a home appliance, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of an embodiment of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flow diagram of a method for dynamic configuration of a communication protocol in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the method for dynamically configuring a communication protocol according to the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the wireless communication apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. The wireless communication device can comprise a system-on-chip module and a flash memory module, wherein the flash memory module is provided with an engineering mode partition and a plurality of protocol partitions, the engineering mode partition stores logic applications used for detecting wireless communication protocol types supported by target equipment (such as household appliances), and each protocol partition correspondingly stores an independently operable wireless communication protocol.
For example, taking the case that the wireless communication device is a wireless WiFi communication device (or called WiFi module), and the wireless communication protocol is a wireless WiFi communication protocol, the main components of the WiFi module are: a WiFi SOC chip (i.e., a system on a chip) and a Flash memory module (Flash). The flash memory module may have an engineering mode partition and a plurality of protocol partitions, the engineering mode partition and the logical application are used for storing a wireless communication protocol type supported by a target device, and each protocol partition may correspondingly store an independently operable wireless communication protocol, that is, each protocol partition is an operating system + protocol function application. For example, as shown in fig. 2, the partition table is a schematic view of a flash memory module, and the partition table only lists partition schematic views of multiple protocols, where a first partition in the partition table is the engineering mode partition, and subsequent partitions sequentially store corresponding protocols. It can be understood that each partition in the flash memory module corresponds to a partition address, and each partition has an independent corresponding space size.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for dynamically configuring the communication protocol may include:
s110, when the wireless communication protocol configured by the wireless communication device at present is determined to be updated, loading the logic application in the engineering mode partition through the bootstrap program in the system-on-chip module, wherein the logic application is used for detecting the target wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance.
It should be noted that the wireless communication device of the embodiment of the present invention belongs to the transmission layer of the internet of things, and has the function of converting a serial port or TTL level into an embedded module that conforms to the wireless network communication standard, and the embedded module is embedded into a household appliance to realize networking, intelligence and digitization of the household appliance. In practical application, when the household appliance leaves a factory, the wireless communication device therein may be compatible with a plurality of protocols, so that after the user purchases the household appliance home, if the wireless communication protocol used by the internet of things in the home may not be consistent with the default communication protocol of the wireless communication device in the household appliance, at this time, the user may trigger the household appliance to dynamically configure the wireless communication protocol in the wireless communication device, that is, update the wireless communication protocol currently configured by the wireless communication device.
For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a trigger button may be disposed on the household appliance or on a remote controller corresponding to the household appliance, and a user may trigger the household appliance through the trigger button to dynamically configure the wireless communication protocol in the wireless communication device. When the household appliance detects that a user triggers the button, the wireless communication device can determine that the wireless communication protocol currently configured by the wireless communication device is to be updated when receiving a detection instruction which is sent by the household appliance and aims at the wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance, and at the moment, the logic application in the project mode partition can be loaded through a bootstrap program in the system level chip module, wherein the logic application is used for detecting a target wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance.
It can be understood that the boot program (Bootloader, corresponding to english language) refers to a program for booting an operating system, and the boot program is run before an operating system kernel runs, and can initialize hardware devices and establish a memory space map, so that a software and hardware environment of the system reaches an appropriate state, so as to prepare a correct environment for finally calling the operating system kernel.
As an example, when it is determined that a wireless communication protocol currently configured for a wireless communication device is to be updated, address information of an engineering mode partition may be acquired, and loading address information of a bootstrap program is modified to address information of the engineering mode partition, and then, the wireless communication device may be restarted, and a logic application in the engineering mode partition corresponding to the modified loading address information is loaded through the bootstrap program, where the logic application is configured to send an instruction for reading a model or protocol standard to an electronic control module of the home appliance, and detect a target wireless communication protocol supported by the home appliance through the model or protocol standard. It should be noted that the address information may be a first address of the engineering mode partition.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, Addr is an address for a bootstrap program to read loading address information, after the loading address is read, an Addr address value becomes 0x1234, and 0x1234 is a first address corresponding to a logic application that is actually required to be run to detect a target wireless communication protocol supported by a home appliance. That is, when it is determined that the wireless communication protocol currently configured for the wireless communication apparatus is to be updated, the loading address information of the boot program may be modified to the first address 0x1234 of the engineering mode partition, and then the wireless communication apparatus is restarted. When the wireless communication device is restarted, in the boot program starting process, reading a first address 0x1234 in the loading address information, and finding a corresponding engineering mode partition according to the first address to realize the loading of the logic application in the engineering mode partition. When the logic application is in operation, the logic application can send an instruction for reading a model or protocol standard to an electric control module of the household appliance, and can detect which wireless communication protocol is supported by the household appliance according to the model or protocol standard when the model or protocol standard fed back by the electric control module is obtained, and use the wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance as a wireless communication protocol (namely, the target wireless communication protocol) to be configured by the wireless communication device.
And S120, determining a target partition corresponding to the storage target wireless communication protocol from the flash memory module.
Optionally, after detecting the target wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance through the logic application, the target partition corresponding to the target wireless communication protocol may be determined from the partitions in the flash memory module.
S130, modifying the loading address information of the bootstrap program into the address information of the target partition, and restarting the wireless communication device.
And S140, loading the target wireless communication protocol stored in the target partition by the bootstrap program in the process of restarting the wireless communication device.
Optionally, when the target partition corresponding to the storage target wireless communication protocol is determined, the current loading address information of the bootstrap program may be modified to the address information of the target partition, and the wireless communication device is restarted, so that the wireless communication device loads partition content, which is stored in the flash memory module and is consistent with the wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance, through the bootstrap program in the restart process, so that the wireless communication device is configured to the wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance, thereby completing dynamic configuration of the wireless communication protocol of the wireless communication device. Still taking the above example as an example, after determining that the head address of the target partition is 0x1234, the boot program may load the corresponding protocol 1 according to the head address to run.
In the embodiment of the application, wireless communication among multiple protocols is realized by adopting a partition loading mode, so that the condition that a bootstrap program only loads one target wireless communication protocol to operate at the same time can be ensured, the requirement on chip resources can be reduced, the production cost is reduced, and meanwhile, the condition that two mutually competing clients operate the protocols at the same time can be avoided. And the software coupling can be reduced, for example, when the function of the protocol 3 needs to be changed, only the code corresponding to the protocol 3 needs to be changed, and the codes corresponding to other protocols do not need to be changed, so that the complexity of the function change of the protocol can be reduced, and the change efficiency is improved. In addition, when the household appliance is produced, only the supported wireless communication protocol needs to be written, the firmware can be commonly used in a plurality of products, the applicability of the method can be improved, and the complexity in production can be reduced.
According to the dynamic configuration method of the communication protocol, when the wireless communication protocol currently configured by the wireless communication device is determined to be updated, the logic application in the engineering mode partition is loaded through the bootstrap program in the system-on-chip module, wherein the logic application is used for detecting the target wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance, then the target partition corresponding to the stored target wireless communication protocol is determined from the flash memory module, the loading address information of the bootstrap program is modified into the address information of the target partition, the wireless communication device is restarted, and then the target wireless communication protocol stored in the target partition is loaded through the bootstrap program in the restarting process of the wireless communication device. Therefore, the technical problems that in the prior art, wireless communication among multiple protocols is realized by software compatibility with multiple protocols, software coupling is high, two mutually competing protocols can be operated at the same time, and chip resource increase and cost increase are caused are solved, dynamic configuration of the wireless communication protocols in the wireless communication device is realized, wireless communication among the multiple protocols is realized by adopting a partition loading mode, it can be ensured that at the same time, a bootstrap program only loads one target wireless communication protocol to operate, requirements on the chip resources can be reduced, production cost is reduced, and meanwhile, the situation that two mutually competing protocols are operated at the same time can be avoided. In addition, the software coupling can be reduced, and the complexity of protocol function change is reduced, so that the change efficiency is improved. In addition, the wireless WiFi communication device which is high in popularization rate and mature in technology is adopted as the wireless communication device, so that the applicability of the method can be improved.

When the home appliance detects that the user triggers the button (S1), the electronic control module in the home appliance may transmit an instruction to enter the engineering mode, i.e., the detection instruction for the wireless communication protocol supported by the home appliance, to the wireless communication device (S2). When receiving a detection instruction for a wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance, which is sent by the household appliance, the wireless communication device may determine that the wireless communication protocol currently configured by the wireless communication device is to be updated, and may feed back confirmation information to the electronic control module (S3). Thereafter, the wireless communication device can determine a corresponding protocol partition storing a wireless communication protocol currently configured by the wireless communication device.

That is, when it is determined that the wireless communication protocol currently configured by the wireless communication device is to be updated, the address of the wireless communication protocol currently used by the wireless communication device may be stored in the designated location in the flash memory module for backup (S4), so that when an abnormal condition occurs during the dynamic configuration process, the backup wireless communication protocol may be found from the designated location for operation, and it is ensured that the wireless communication device can communicate normally.
S440, loading the logic application in the engineering mode partition through a bootstrap program in the system-on-chip module, wherein the logic application is used for detecting a target wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance.
As an example, the address information of the engineering mode partition may be obtained, and the loading address information of the boot program may be modified into the address information of the engineering mode partition (S5), and then, the wireless communication device may be restarted (S6), and a logic application in the engineering mode partition corresponding to the modified loading address information is loaded through the boot program (S7), where the logic application is configured to send an instruction to read a model or protocol standard to an electronic control module of the home appliance (S8), receive the model or protocol standard returned by the electronic control module (S9), and then, may detect a target wireless communication protocol supported by the home appliance through the model or protocol standard.
S450, judging whether the wireless communication protocols supported by the household appliance are stored in the plurality of wireless communication protocols stored in the plurality of protocol partitions.
Alternatively, when a target wireless communication protocol supported by the home appliance is detected through the logic application, it may be determined whether the wireless communication protocol supported by the home appliance is stored among the plurality of wireless communication protocols stored in the plurality of protocol partitions (S10).
And S460, if yes, taking a wireless communication protocol matched with the wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance in the plurality of wireless communication protocols as the target wireless communication protocol, and taking a corresponding protocol partition as the target partition.
And S470, if not, taking the wireless communication protocol stored in the protocol partition corresponding to the address information stored in the designated position as the target wireless communication protocol, and taking the protocol partition corresponding to the address information stored in the designated position as the target partition.
S480, the loading address information of the bootstrap program is modified into the address information of the target partition, and the wireless communication device is restarted.
That is, when it is determined that the wireless communication protocol supported by the home appliance is stored among the plurality of wireless communication protocols stored in the plurality of protocol partitions, the loading address information of the boot program may be modified to the address information of the target partition, and the wireless communication device may be restarted to configure the communication protocol of the wireless communication device to the wireless communication protocol supported by the home appliance (S11).
When it is determined that the wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance is not included in the plurality of wireless communication protocols stored in the plurality of protocol partitions, configuration failure information (if the wireless communication protocol is not supported by the wireless communication device) may be sent to the electronic control module, and the loading address information of the boot program may be configured as an address backed up before (S12), that is, the communication protocol of the wireless communication device is restored to the communication protocol used in the previous configuration.
S490, loading the target wireless communication protocol stored in the target partition by the bootstrap program in the process of restarting the wireless communication device.
According to the dynamic configuration method of the communication protocol of the embodiment of the invention, when the wireless communication protocol currently configured by the wireless communication device is determined to be updated, the partition address of the wireless communication protocol currently configured by the wireless communication device can be backed up first, so that when the logic application judges that the wireless communication protocol supported by the household appliance does not exist in the plurality of wireless communication protocols stored in the plurality of protocol partitions, the loading address of the bootstrap program is restored to the previously backed up address, and the communication of the wireless communication device is ensured to be normal.
