As shown in Figure 1, be the system architecture diagram of the servicing unit preferred embodiment of embedded system test of the present invention.This system mainly comprises servicing unit 1 and embedded system test board 7.Include display device 2, writing station 3, general input and output (GPIO:General Purpose Input Output) chip 4, chromacoder 5 and serial bus interface 6 in the described servicing unit 1.In servicing unit 1, institute's write the two or more syllables of a word together are gone into device 3, GPIO chip 4, chromacoder 5 and serial bus interface 6 and are connected successively.Described servicing unit 1 is connected to embedded system test board 7 by serial bus interface 6.Described GPIO chip 4 connects display device 2.
Described serial bus interface 6 is used for transmitting signal between servicing unit 1 and embedded system test board 7, serial bus interface 6 comprises following several on the described servicing unit 1: USB (universal serial bus) (USB:Universal Serial Bus), internal integrate circuit bus (I2C:Inter-Integrated Circuit), System Management Bus interface (SMBus:SystemManagement Bus) and universal asynchronous acceptance send serial line interface (UART:UniversalAsynchronous Receiver Transmitter), because above-mentioned every kind of serial bus interface 6 all has certain scope of application, therefore above various serial bus interface 6 is installed on servicing unit 1 to satisfy various test needs.
Described chromacoder 5 is used for when embedded system test board 7 reads test parameter on the GPIO chip 4, judge whether that according to serial bus interface 6 dissimilar needs become form on the GPIO chip reading the test parameter on the GPIO chip 4 conversion of signals that reads that the embedded system test board sends, and when embedded system test board 7 test finish after, test result converted to the form on the GPIO chip.Particularly, if servicing unit 1 is to be connected by USB interface or UART interface with embedded system test board 7, then need to carry out above-mentioned conversion of signals by chromacoder 5, if servicing unit 1 is to be connected by I2C interface or SMBUS interface with embedded system test board 7, then do not need to carry out conversion of signals by chromacoder 5.
Said write device 3 is used for test parameter is write GPIO chip 4.Described test parameter comprises the detailed programs of test, the original state of test.Described writing station 3 can be a single-chip microcomputer, can also be the data processing equipment of other any appropriate, and in this preferred embodiment, what writing station 3 used is single-chip microcomputer.
Described GPIO chip 4 is used to preserve above-mentioned test parameter and test result, described test parameter and test result leave an EEPROM (Electrically ErasableProgrammable Read Only Memory in, electrically erasable programmable ROM) in, described test parameter and test result are generally some concrete indications, and indications is indicated the result of test.Particularly, for example, " F0 " representative test beginning, embedded system test board 7 reads this information and enters test mode, after finishing test, test result is write GPIO chip 4 by serial bus interface 6 and chromacoder 5, if test is passed through, the test result that then writes GPIO chip 4 is passed through to indicate test for " FF ", if test crash, the test result information that then writes GPIO chip 4 is that " FE " is to indicate test crash.
Described embedded system test board 7 is used to test the function of various embedded systems (as: mainboard), and can read test parameter on the GPIO chip 4, and test according to the test parameter that reads, after finishing test, test result is write GPIO chip 4.Pass through as if test, the test result that then writes GPIO chip 4 is passed through to indicate test for " FF ", if test crash, the test result that then writes GPIO chip 4 is that " FE " is to indicate test crash.
Described display device 2 links to each other with GPIO chip 4, be used for test parameter and test result on the instant playback GPIO chip 4, for example, when test has just begun, what show is that some symbols (as: F0) begin to indicate test, shows during end of test (EOT) that other symbol is to indicate whether test is passed through.In the present embodiment, described display device 2 is a LCD plate, in other embodiments, also can be the display device of other any appropriate.
As shown in Figure 2, be the process flow diagram of the householder method preferred embodiment of embedded system test of the present invention.
Step S10, at first, writing station 3 writes test parameter in the GPIO chip 4.Described test parameter comprises the detailed programs of test, the original state of test.Described test parameter is generally some concrete indications, for example, indications " 1 " expression test memory, " F0 " expression test beginning, when embedded system test board 7 read above-mentioned test parameter from GPIO chip 4, then embedded system test board 7 began test memories.Described writing station 3 can be a single-chip microcomputer, can also be the data processing equipment of other any appropriate, and in this preferred embodiment, what writing station 3 used is single-chip microcomputer.
Step S11, embedded system test board 7 send the signal that reads that reads test parameter on the GPIO chip 4.
Step S12, chromacoder 5 judges whether that according to the type of the serial bus interface 6 that is connected with embedded system board 7 needs carry out reading signal conversion with described.Particularly, if servicing unit 1 is to be connected by USB interface or UART interface with embedded system test board 7, then need the described signal that reads to be carried out conversion of signals by chromacoder 5, if servicing unit 1 is to be connected by I2C interface or SMBUS interface with embedded system test board 7, then do not need the described signal that reads to be carried out conversion of signals by chromacoder 5.
Step S13, when not needing to carry out conversion of signals, the described signal that reads reads test parameter on the GPIO chip 4, and embedded system test board 7 begins test.
Step S14 writes GPIO chip 4 with the test result of embedded system test board 7 by serial bus interface 6.
Step S15, display device 2 is come out the test result instant playback on the GPIO chip 4.Particularly, the information that display device 2 shows all is the indications corresponding with test result information, and for example, if test is passed through, then displaying symbol " FF " if test is not passed through, then shows " FE ".
In step S12, when needs carried out conversion of signals, in step S16, chromacoder 5 became form on the GPIO chip 4 reading the test parameter on the GPIO chip 4 the described conversion of signals that reads, and embedded system test board 7 begins test.
Step S17, the test result of embedded system test board converts form on the GPIO chip 4 to by chromacoder 5, and it is write on the GPIO chip 4, forwards step S15 afterwards to.
The servicing unit of embedded system test of the present invention and method utilize the writing station device, GPIO chip, chromacoder and the serial bus interface that connect successively on the servicing unit to obtain the test result of embedded system test board, test result is changed into form corresponding on the GPIO chip, and will on display device, show with different indications through the test result after the format conversion, the user can draw test result by the indications that shows.
It should be noted last that, above embodiment is only unrestricted in order to technical scheme of the present invention to be described, although the present invention is had been described in detail with reference to above preferred embodiment, those of ordinary skill in the art is to be understood that, can make amendment or be equal to replacement technical scheme of the present invention, and not break away from the spirit and scope of technical solution of the present invention.
