Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the embedded system technical field of memory, specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of embedded system storage architecture.
Background technology
Embedded system is in cost consideration and need to selects suitable main control chip, and the main control chip of different storage architectures has larger difference at cost usually for different application.The program storage of main control chip is divided into the ROM(ROM (read-only memory) usually) type and RAM(random access memory) two kinds of types.The cost of ROM type scheme is low, but code revision and Function Extension are difficult, and the RAM type needs plug-in storer, and cost is higher but Function Extension and renewal are more convenient.
For the design of embedded system, the design of storage architecture is one of key factor, not only will consider concrete application, also needs to take into account the scheme cost.When system is relatively simple, when program and data are less, such as only having tens K bytes even less, usually adopt the scheme of main control chip internal memory, whole system cost compare economy; And complicated when systematic comparison, program and data are all larger, and such as reaching hundreds of K byte even take million (M) during as unit, main control chip can't built-in so large storer, and whole system then adopts the mode of plug-in storer at this moment.The present invention is mainly for the system that adopts the memory built-in scheme, and therefore following content all describes for this system without explanation.
Storer generally can be divided into two types: RAM and ROM.Fig. 1 is that a kind of program storage of prior art is the schematic block diagram of the embedded system storage architecture of RAM type, as shown in Figure 1, if program storage is the RAM type in this main control chip, then need a plug-in external memory storage, be used for when system powers on, from external memory storage in the middle of the program storage of loading procedure in the sheet, for the CPU(central processing unit) reading command and operation.This system is common in some small-sized digital products and uses, such as MP3, USB flash disk or SD card etc.And for the simpler application of some functions, then adopt program storage be ROM(except common mask ROM, also comprise OTP ROM and Flash ROM etc.) scheme of type.Fig. 2 is that a kind of program storage of prior art is the schematic block diagram of the embedded system storage architecture of ROM type, and as shown in Figure 2, system need not to reach cost-effective purpose by external memory storage.
The system of RAM type is because want plug-in storer, thus higher than ROM type system scheme cost, but that advantage is the program space is larger, it is stronger that function can be done, and modification of program and upgrading are convenient to problem correction and Function Extension than being easier to, and are fit to change more application; The system advantage of ROM type is that manufacturing cost is lower, but the program space is limited, and is difficult for revising, in case program has bug or partial function to need upgrading, can bring higher maintenance and maintenance cost, and suitable function is relatively simple, the less application of variation.
In addition, because data-carrier store generally only is used for storing the contents such as various variablees, storehouse, data volume requires not high, but the application that has need to be used Presentation Function, then may need plug-in data-carrier store, be used for storing the data such as character library, picture, as shown in Figure 3.

Embodiment
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and the drawings; set forth in the following description more details so that fully understand the present invention; but the present invention obviously can implement with the multiple alternate manner that is different from this description; those skilled in the art can do similar popularization, deduction according to practical situations in the situation of intension of the present invention, therefore should be with content constraints protection scope of the present invention of this specific embodiment.
Storage architecture of the present invention has increased a kind of configurable RAM type memory take the system (Fig. 2) of aforementioned ROM type memory as the basis.This configurable RAM storer can be configured to data-carrier store or program storage as required, and optional plug-in storer expands, to satisfy diversified application, as shown in Figure 4.
Fig. 4 is the schematic block diagram of the embedded system storage architecture of one embodiment of the invention, this embedded system storage architecture 400 comprises main control chip 401, comprises in this main control chip 401: the program storage 404 of data-carrier store 402, central processing unit 403, ROM type and the configurable memory 405 of RAM type.Wherein, central processing unit 403 is connected with data-carrier store 402; The program storage 404 of ROM type is connected with central processing unit 403, is stored with the working procedure of embedded system storage architecture 400.And the configurable memory 405 of RAM type is connected with central processing unit 403 by a configurable bus, is used for being configured to as required another data-carrier store or another program storage.

In another embodiment, if with the part in the data-carrier store in Fig. 2 scheme, realize (not shown) in the mode of configurable memory, then because the storer total volume is constant, it is identical comparing cost with Fig. 2 scheme, but the extendability of using is obviously better.
When application scheme during the external data storer, if external memory storage 506 is not with full, then can adopt configurable memory 505 is configured to program storage, the expanded function program is left in the middle of the same external memory storage 506, be equivalent to scheme shown in Figure 5.
Fig. 5 is the schematic block diagram that main control chip 501 interior configurable memories 505 and the program storage 504 of another embodiment of the present invention shares the embedded system storage architecture 500 that program buss are connected with central processing unit 503.As shown in Figure 5, in the present embodiment, data-carrier store 502 with embodiment illustrated in fig. 4 in data-carrier store 402 and indifference.The key distinction is that when the configurable memory 505 of RAM type is configured to another program storage then it can share a program bus with program storage 504 and be connected with central processing unit 503 as the extending space of the program storage 504 of ROM type.
Those skilled in the art understand, and embedded system be in cost consideration and need to select suitable main control chip, and the main control chip of different storage architectures has larger difference at cost usually for different application.According to top elaboration as can be known, a kind of embedded storage architecture that the present invention proposes can allow same main control chip be applied in the middle of more the application, has cost and the flexible advantage of expansion concurrently.
The present invention is directed to the relative merits of dissimilar embedded systems in the above-mentioned prior art, a kind of new storage architecture has been proposed, merged ROM type and RAM type memory advantage separately, free configuration code storage scheme is as required taken into account the extendability of cost and function.
The present invention have simultaneously low-cost low, the program space can be expanded and maintenance upgrade advantage easily, with a kind of flexible system architecture, satisfies simultaneously major applications.
