Embodiment
In order to realize the more brief automatic test of computer peripheral equipment flexibly, the invention provides a kind of under the situation that no PC drives new control structure.That is, respectively client and server is controlled, and made computer peripheral equipment enter various functional statuses to carry out functional test by controller.Next will be example with the automatic test of PC Camera, specify this system and method thereof.
Fig. 1 illustrates the structural representation of computer peripheral equipment Auto-Test System.As shown in Figure 1, this automatization test system mainly comprises four modules, is respectively client modules, server module, PC Camera module to be tested and subtest instrument.The function of each module is described respectively below, and the relation between them.
Client modules comprises the MCU controller, self-test actuator, collection device and GPIO communication module.Self-test actuator produces the test and excitation case automatically, by GPIO the excitation of client is sent to server, is the source that produces excitation.The collection device is used for server the result of test is sent to by GPIO under the situation of client, preserves test result, for analysis result provides the data basis.The function of MCU and GPIO is fairly simple, and MCU mainly is the control total system, and GPIO is the passage of communication.
Server module mainly is made up of four parts, is respectively the MCU controller, the exciter response device, and USB OTG and GPIO communication module are formed.
The exciter response device mainly is the test and excitation case that the customer in response end sends, according to client's excitation generation test cases.Test cases works by USB OTG again.
USB OTG module has mainly realized the function of USB Host, can freely control the PCCamera chip.Here be noted that PC Camera is the Slave chip of a USB, USB Host is that initiatively PC Camera is passive.USB OTG major control PC Camera enters different states in the present invention.Below different states, carry out response test, see whether conform to expected result.Just return correct signal to client if meet, give client otherwise just return rub-out signal.
PC Camera module, the also equipment that promptly will test, this PC Camera is a USBCamera, it is that USB Slave equipment and USB OTG link, and realizes the transmission of data.
Subtest instrument module mainly is the test at PC Camera performance, when PCCamera enters different conditions, it is carried out the property comparison test.
Fig. 2 illustrates the workflow diagram of client.Since the stage 200, client begins start-up system, in 202 stages client is carried out initialization.In 204 stages, select the excitation case in the self-test actuator, these excitation cases can be to finish writing in advance, select to the user after also can working as system start-up.Judge whether to finish all test and excitation cases then and send, for the test and excitation case, the general transmission repeatedly, promptly a case has a plurality of test and excitation actions.If finish, just enter ending phase 214.If do not finish, in the stage 206, send the test cases excitation, require to send by individual.The result who sends is judged, see and whether receive that test finishes.Finish if receive test, entered for 210 stages, accept test result.In 212 stages, deposit test result in the test gatherer then, then returned for 206 stages, continue the work in this stage.Do not finish if receive test, just entered for 208 stages, wait for a period of time, generally very short.And then return and judge, see whether receive the test finish.
Fig. 3 illustrates the workflow diagram of server.Since the stage 300, server end begins start-up system, in 302 stages server end is carried out initialization.Judge then whether the exciter response device of server receives excitation.If no, just entered for 308 stages, wait for a period of time, generally very short, and then return and judge.If receive excitation, then entered for 304 stages, in the exciter response device, find corresponding test cases.Then in 306 stages, case is controlled PC Camera by USBOTG, and tests.After test is finished, judge whether test result is correct.If correct, entered for 312 stages and return the correct result of client; If incorrect, entered for 310 stages and return the client error result.Behind this stage end-of-job, return and judge whether the exciter response device receives excitation.
In this example, the communication of client and server is undertaken by four GPIO pin, all is two input pins and two output pins concerning client and server, specific to how to realize communication, can define these four pin flexibly.This simple communications protocol also can freely define.
Fig. 4 illustrates some simple test waveforms that the present invention realizes.Illustrate between the client and server end how to communicate by letter by this waveform.Use four GPIO pin in this example and carried out client and server communication.All two input pins and two output pins concerning client and server.The pin of High Speed and Suspend is an output pin concerning client in the drawings, and Finish and Result pin are input pins; Then on the contrary to server end, HighSpeed and Suspend pin are input pins, and Finish and Result pin are output pins.
Client sends excitation to server by High Speed and two output pins of Suspend (is input to server) in this example, and returning of result is by Finish and these two input pins of Result (is output to server); Self-test actuator only produces two kinds of pumping signals in this example, below the detailed excitation waveform in the key drawing:
As can be seen from the figure, client has two kinds to the signal of server input.First kind is that the signal of Suspend is low signal (low level) always, and the signal of High Speed is from low to high, and up to the Finish signal from low to high, from high to low the time, the signal of High Speed is step-down just again.Test and excitation below this composite signal representative.When High Speed signal from low to high and the Suspend signal always when low, server detects this two signals, will allow the exciter response device of server give excitation of USB OTG.Allow USB OTG make that PC Camera powers on, set, and the handshake procedure of beginning USB.The descriptor that obtains PC Camera is simultaneously carried out self-verifying to it, can claim that this process is USB High Speed.If the result of this process is correct, server at first sends one and finishes signal so, and the Finish signal is uprised from low, represents that this test cases finishes.Simultaneously the result is sent it back client, if the Finish signal from low uprise during this period of time in, Result uprises from low, illustrate that so test result is correct, otherwise test result is wrong.
Second kind is that High Speed signal is a low signal always, and the signal of Suspend is from low to high, and the test and excitation of this explanation client is to make PC Camera enter the Suspend state.After this state was equivalent to PC Camera insertion PC in fact, PC entered dormant state.The electric current of PC Camera very little (comparing duty) in theory, at this moment the outside connects a subtest instrument, such as reometer or other instruments, can monitor the variation of PC Camera electric current at any time.
In a word, the self-test actuator of client is constantly tested according to the state of test, the result of test is kept in the test gatherer, and such ATE (automatic test equipment) can satisfy the demand of test substantially, but equipment is simple and convenient, easy operating can play the result of automatic test.
What one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that is, more than Shuo Ming embodiment all is that the test with PC Camera is an example, for different computer peripheral equipments, and for example keyboard or mouse, according to design of the present invention, also can realize based on the test macro of this structure.Simultaneously, because it has realized microization, can be for the client and server module on different devices, have a style of one's own; Also can integrate, be placed in the monoblock circuit board.
More than specific descriptions of the present invention are intended to illustrate the implementation of specific embodiments can not be interpreted as it is limitation of the present invention.Those of ordinary skills can make various variants on the basis of the embodiment that describes in detail under instruction of the present invention, these variants all should be included within the design of the present invention.The present invention's scope required for protection is only limited by described claims.
