Embodiment
The present invention relates to coercive procedure download in the mobile communication terminal.
With reference to the preferred embodiment of the invention, example wherein shows in the accompanying drawings in detail.
The present invention just carries out in the PDA phone at the mobile communication terminal of integrated PDA.Yet the present invention also can be applied in the communication terminal that moves according to other technical manual.
According to one embodiment of present invention, if terminal check nearest program updates whether be normal or complete after, determine to the invention provides a kind of method and automatically communication terminal (hereinafter referred " terminal ") is changed into the force download pattern by a kind of pattern because imperfect or abnormal program updates makes terminal be difficult to operation.In case be separated into boot binary region and main binary region and distinguish this terminal at each and be directed by storing corresponding program by memory block with terminal, boot reads the value of a particular address, and program is downloaded to this particular address by UART2 and UART1 when portable terminal enters the force download pattern.Below, describe the function that part that the preferred embodiments of the present invention have same reference numbers has identical effect in detail with reference to accompanying drawing.
Fig. 2 is the exemplary plot of mapping structure of the program storage of the mobile communication terminal consistent with the embodiment of the invention.In related art, binary region constitutes by comprising since the boot of 0 address storage (0 * 000) and some the regional data that is stored in from terminal address.Yet, in the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, boot binary region 101 is independent of main binary region 102, wherein boot is stored in some zone (boot binary region) since 0 address (0 * 000), and master routine is stored in and is the main binary region from presumptive address setting (0 * 10000).
Here, the boot that is stored in boot binary region relates to homing sequence, boot comprises that communication module (for example: an initial driving algorithm MSM chip), program relates to the initialization of RAM, ROM and communication port (for example UART), and allows to download one or more multiprogrammable function continuously with the tentation data baud rate.Preferably, relevant procedures (for example driver of UART2) or permission further are included in boot binary region 101 by the function of second communication port (UART2) and first communication port (UART1) download.Master routine will be stored in main binary region, and this zone comprises the function that relates to except about the associative operation of the terminal the homing sequence.
Therefore, by boot binary region and main binary storage are distinguished from, consolidation procedure needs respectively boot and master routine are stored in respective regions.This is the original generation when being contained in terminal of target program download package because of binary program.Correspondingly, consolidation procedure merges boot and master routine, and so executable program is finally moved.By specifying the memory block (for example: boot binary region and main binary region) of separating, corresponding program (boot and master routine) is stored in zone separately.
Except that the function that relates to the terminal homing sequence; in case terminal guiding is when whether scrutiny program is normal or (zero defect or interruption) is performed to determine that imperfect or abnormal program updates makes that terminal is difficult to move fully, terminal program comprises the automatic function that the pattern of terminal is changed to the force download pattern.
Preferably, whether scrutiny program normal by this way upgrades: when program updates according to whether finishing when the normal renewal of program and predetermined state values (normal status value: 0 * AB and error status value: 0 * FF or 0 * 00) is recorded in specific storage address (0 * FFFE).When terminal is directed, if by check appropriate address value record normal status value (0 * AB), then guiding continuously.If misregistration state value (0 * FF or 0 * 00), terminal pattern will switch to the force download pattern.
When program updates, if there is not situation to take place, use pooling function that self initializing program and master routine are merged into a program after, guiding is normally finished.Thereby, after this can not have problems about terminal operation or program updates.
As shown in Figure 2, zone 103 is read/writable data fields, is used to storing phone number data and similar data.
Fig. 3 is the process flow diagram of in mobile communication terminal carrying out the downloading process that be used for refresh routine consistent with one embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Fig. 3, download (renewal) instrument that use PC provides after terminal is connected to PC is to program updates, and connection is to finish by the communication port cable is connected the communication port (UART) that is inserted into terminal.Preferably, be downloaded in order to make refresh routine, program is divided into boot and master routine, uses (renewal) instrument of download (S21) that boot binary region and main binary region are set in storer.Here, boot binary region comprises 0 * 000 first area to address 0 * FFF from the address, and main binary region comprises address 0 * 10000 second area afterwards.
Next, corresponding zone (S22) is downloaded and be stored in to boot and master routine respectively.Preferably, boot comprises function and variable, and described function and variable are used for the initialization of executive communication module, RAM, ROM, communication port (UART) and similar communication terminal.Comprise the program except that homing sequence in the master routine.Here, boot and master routine are separate and be stored in the storer, merge as a global procedures operation by consolidation procedure.
Next, at step S22, download the download state (S23) whether normally the inspection of (renewal) instrument is downloaded success or failure and be recorded in the boot binary region particular address.That is, normally finish if download, (for example: 0 * AB) particular address that is recorded in storer (for example: address 0 * FFFE) for the specific state value of storer.Yet, owing to some interruption in the communication during downloading or wrong cause downloading process stopping or improper execution (for example: failed download), the state value of a mistake (for example: 0 * FF or 0 * 00) (for example: address 0 * FFFE) be recorded to specific address.Correspondingly, can check that to the inspection of specific address value refresh routine downloads successfully or fail.If provide power supply to terminal after the process refresh routine according to Fig. 3, terminal will guide according to homing sequence, and the program of upgrading will be performed.
Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram of mobile communication terminal bootup process in the explanation according to an embodiment of the present invention.With reference to Fig. 4, when powering to terminal, boot is according to homing sequence initiating hardware (S30).At first, initializes memory (RAM and ROM) (S31).Then communication port (for example: the GPIO end port of communication module is set, clock system or similar is set) is set (S32) by initialize communications module and change are multiplexed.Afterwards, execute store (RAM) test process (S33).
Must carry out H/W (hardware) initialization procedure moves terminal or makes terminal enter force download pattern (S31 is to S33).After all processes (S31 is to S33) are carried out, check whether last program updates is normally finished (S34).Therefore, boot (for example: the value of address 0 * FFFE), and carry out guiding or carry out download (renewal) program (S34) once more by entering the force download pattern according to normal boot sequence process according to state value decision reads particular address.
Preferably, check that (0 * FFFE) predetermined state values (S34) is if (0 * AB) has been recorded normal status value particular address in the storer, and guiding (S40 and S50) is continued in the address (0 * 10000) that forwards the storage master routine to.If wrong state value (0 * FF or 0 * 00) is recorded, terminal pattern will switch to force download pattern (S60).
(just: S60), terminal must be downloaded the program of previous improper download again when terminal enters into above-described process.Preferably, terminal moves to the program updates process S20 shown in Fig. 3 and downloads (S70) with rerun routine.
Correspondingly, after terminal entered the coercive procedure downloading mode, the user selected communication port and can download.Below, the operation of the executive routine download (perhaps upgrading) by selecting communication port will be described.
The schematic diagram of Fig. 5 for being used to select communication port in according to an embodiment of the present invention and carrying out the mobile communication terminal of force download program.As shown in, terminal according to the present invention comprises storer 100 functions that are used for the function shown in the execution graph 2 and is used to allow user's option program can be by switch 301 ports of its communication port that is downloaded (for example: UART1 or UART2).Fig. 6 is for carrying out the process flow diagram of force download program process by the selection communication port in the explanation according to an embodiment of the present invention.
With reference to Fig. 5 and 6, the user is connected to terminal manufacturer's Internet website, the small documents of the specific terminal module that the user is had downloads on the PC of oneself, by use application tool (for example: work as preamble) or storage card this document is copied to the PDA module, and carry out this document and upgrade with the binary region of executive communication module (CDMA module).Here, described small documents is to be generated by a program file that is updated (binary file) and instrument (application program) binding that is used for program updates.
If PDA closes, user's error makes battery separate with PDA, perhaps takes place in the communication inevitably to hinder when refresh routine, and PDA will guide again.Therefore, the power supply that offers communication module is closed continue and carries out guiding again and opened again.
As what describe, if communication module (for example CDMA module or MSM module) is guided again, storer (RAM and ROM) is initialised to carry out normal running (S31).Communication port (for example: the general input and output of communication module, system clock setting or similarly) by the initialize communications module (for example: the hardware register value of initialization MSM chip) and change multiplexed being provided with (S32).Afterwards, execute store (RAM) test process (S33).
When the initialization procedure (S31 is to S33) of finishing all hardware, by read flash rom district particular address (0 * FFFE) value check before the program updates process whether suitably carried out (S34).
Whether preferably, when program is updated, finish according to normal renewal, a predetermined state values is (normal: as 0 * AB and mistake: 0 * FF or 0 * 00) to be recorded in specific storage address (0 * FFFE).When guiding, if by checking that the appropriate address value has write down normal status value, then guiding continues (S170).If write down improper value, terminal pattern will switch to force download pattern (S160).
Terminal enters (S161) after the force download pattern, (for example: (the GPIO pin: the level general input and output pin of communication module) is detected, and its state (high level or low level) detected (S162) for the particular port MSM chip) for communication module.Then, determine to carry out corresponding coercive procedure download function (S163) by UART1 (for example :) or UART2 (for example work as specific excuse and be set to low level) when particular port is set to high level.Here, the user can select the state of particular port by the push-pull switch (301 among Fig. 5) that exterior of terminal is set.
If UART2 is selected, by UART2 small documents is copied to PDA by the program updates instrument that uses PDA, and can upgrade the binary file (S164) of communication module.Yet if AURT1 is selected, UART1 is connected on the PC by the external interface connector that is called as LT, and uses the more new tool of PC to make binary file be updated (S165).
Simultaneously, when terminal can not enter the force download pattern, this terminal enters main scale-of-two start address (0 * 10000) (S171) with disengaging.Correspondingly, carry out normal boot sequence (S172).If resembling operating terminal the step S163 and input command, the user upgrades the program (S173) of communication module to enter the program downloading mode, the value of communication module particular port detected (S174), if and communication module (for example: the MSM chip) particular port (for example: GPIO, the general input and output of communication module) value is set to high level by switch (301 among Fig. 5), uses PDA module executive routine to download (S175) by UART2.Use PDA module executive routine to download by UART2.On the contrary, if the value of particular port (GPIO port, the general input and output of communication module) is a low level, the external interface that is called as LT is connected between UART1 and the PC (PC), and uses the download tool executive routine of PC to download (S176).
As what describe, since when terminal guides, do not use key scan to determine to enter the force download pattern by automatic ordo judiciorum update mode, the present invention can adapt to the integrated PDA terminal of operating by the intercommunication of the PDA module of drive and communication module (CDMA module).
In addition, be used for the method for program force download in the integrated PDA mobile communication terminal, allow the user directly to select the port that downloads.When terminal enters that program force download pattern and the program that is used to upgrade are downloaded by at least two communication port (UART1 and UART2) and can not carry out normal boot the time, this method is also carried out download according to environment because make a mistake.
Correspondingly, since even the direct refresh routine and pass through once more guiding terminal and down loading updating program once more of user of having any problem in the renewal process terminal taking place, the user does not need the access services center.So the user saves time and spends.In addition, terminal manufacturer is reduced service cost and is increased product reliability.
Do not leave spirit of the present invention and essential characteristics, the present invention has various embodiments, unless also can understand other certain illustrated, above-mentioned embodiment is not limited in any aforesaid details, but can within the spirit and scope of additional claim definition, explain widely on the contrary, and change thus and revise within the border and scope that will drop on claims, the perhaps such border and the equivalent of scope will be included in additional claims.
