FIG. 2 is a detail of a data file;
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the contents of a data file after a loadable file format has been generated.
Detailed Description
The invention generates a new file by combining the data file to be loaded with the basic information of the software to be loaded, the information of the data file of the software to be loaded, the channel number of the parameter data file of the software to be loaded and the checksum of the data file of the software to be loaded. The storage area contained in the file format can be seen in fig. 1. The same file to be loaded only needs to generate a loadable file format once, and the loadable file format can be directly used for loading later. Besides, in practical application, the problem of byte alignment of each processor and the number of bytes of a data packet required by the used communication bus are considered, and corresponding blank bytes are added into the file format for storage and communication.
The invention is further illustrated with reference to the following figures and examples.
Taking a certain data file to be loaded shown in fig. 2 as an example, a specific implementation is described, a communication bus used in the embodiment is RS232, and the specific implementation content also considers the byte alignment problem during communication.
Step 1: and formulating a file format of the loadable file. The file format comprises a storage area of basic information of the software to be loaded, an information storage area of a data file of the software to be loaded, a channel number storage area of a parameter data file of the software to be loaded, a checksum storage area of the data file of the software to be loaded and a data file storage area of the software to be loaded;
table 1 shows a file format satisfying fig. 1. This embodiment requires all data except the data file to be sent separately over the RS232 bus, so some blank bytes are added as appropriate to make the communication data byte aligned.
