Abstract
The invention discloses an out file loading method. The method comprises the steps of receiving a target out file generating order, linking a plurality of out files depending on the target out file generating order to obtain a target out file, and loading the target out file to realize loading of the out files. The scheme, through linking the plurality of the out files, can generate a target out file and load the target out file; dependencies among the out files are eliminated when the multiple out files are linked into a target out file, so as to avoid a problem of restraint on a loading order due to the dependencies among the out files when loading the multiple out files; in addition, to load a target out file can reduce processes of regulating orders among the out files and modifying a startup code when loading the out files, thus avoiding unsuccessful loading and facilitating development and debugging.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to embedded system field, more particularly to a kind of out file loading methods, apparatus and system.
Background technology
In the embedded system of vxWorks operating systems, out files are often used, out files are conducive to code to protect
The aspects such as close, software issue, the Scalability of system.
Traditional out file debugging plans are that each out file is placed under file system, according to configuration when startup
File loads out files or the loading of out files and order are fixedly installed in code starting.
In some cases, out files have outside dependence in loading, only first load after the out files of dependence
This out files can be loaded, therefore, the loading to out files has order to limit;In addition, being loaded in debugging process is developed
During out files, it is often necessary to which the order or modification for adjusting the out files in configuration file start code, use more multiple
Miscellaneous, this just brings inconvenience to exploitation debugging efforts.
The content of the invention
In view of this, the present invention provides a kind of out file loading methods, apparatus and system, to solve to add in the prior art
