Detailed Description
The invention provides a mapping file management and batch deployment tool of an embedded system, wherein a user interacts through a user interface of the tool, can edit a mapping file configuration template according to requirements, and can manage mapping files according to the configuration template after editing is completed. When the working space is imported, all the configuration information can be acquired by the tool, manual input is not needed, and errors possibly introduced by manual input are greatly reduced. When only the image file set is input, the user also only needs to edit the configuration for the first time. And the image files can be grouped and configured, so that the function of simultaneously deploying a plurality of image files on a multi-target machine is realized.
In the present example, the user of the invention is a system integrator for integrating avionics systems. The development of the whole system is jointly completed by a plurality of suppliers. Each supplier only completes the generation of the relevant object code, namely the generation of the mapping file. The vendor may submit the workspace directly to the system integrator, but most situations provide only a collection of image files. The system integrator obtains a series of working spaces or image file collections, and a tool is needed to manage the image files and deploy the image files to the designated target machine without errors. Meanwhile, as the project progresses, multiple applications may have multiple versions, and the system integrator needs to know which applications correspond to which versions and the compatibility between versions. These are solved by the solution of the invention.
The invention has three major functions:
1. information import like files
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a framework for implementing image file management and batch deployment according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, when a system integrator imports a project workspace, it is first determined whether a record of the workspace already exists, and if the project workspace is imported for the first time, information of the workspace, image file information, operating system information, and target machine information need to be read; wherein the workspace information comprises: a workspace path, a workspace composition, a workspace compilation toolchain; the mapping file information includes: image file, image file version, image file type (operating system, application, configuration data, partition operating system, board level program), image file deployment address, image file compatible operating system information, image file compatible other applications or component information; the operating system information includes: operating system type, operating system version; the target machine information includes: target machine IP address, target machine start type, transmission protocol (serial port, network), port number and port baud rate. After the information is acquired, the tool stores the information into an XML file.
When the system integrator imports the image set, the image file information is read. If the information is input for the first time, the system integrator manually configures required information, including engineering information, target machine information, operating system information and the like. Wherein the target machine information configurable interface is shown in figure 2.
And the other method is to import the mapping file set, and the tool generates configuration data by analyzing the mapping file and extracting the engineering information cached in the tool. If the image file set is imported for the first time, the system integrator is required to manually complete the configuration.
2. Management of mapping files
The invention adopts a version control-based method to manage the mapping files. The image file is stored in the repository according to the name of the project. When an image file is newly input, as shown in fig. 3, it is first determined whether a record already exists in the library, and if not, the image file is first assigned with a version number and is backed up in the library. If the version number of the image file is different from the version number of the historical record, the latest version number is distributed to the image file. If this image file is lower than the latest version, a problem is reported to the system integrator. Next, it is necessary to rely on the dependencies and constraints provided in the image file information (a list of dependencies is usually given by the developer). And judging whether the constraint condition is met in the target integration system, and reporting an error to a system integrator if the constraint condition is not met.
3. Image file bulk deployment
The invention realizes the grouping configuration of the mapping files through graphical editing. As shown in fig. 4, a plurality of target machine node configurations may be configured under a tree structure. A plurality of image file information can be configured under each target machine node. The whole tree structure adopts XML tree for data storage. And the content format of the tree is predefined by adopting XML Schema. And reporting errors of illegal data input by the system integrator.
When a user needs to deploy all image files, the tool generates a plurality of deployment lists according to the form of a configuration tree structure, wherein each deployment list corresponds to one target machine node. These operations are all done in the host-side graphical interface. After the deployment list is generated, the host program calls the communication module to interact with the target machine, the state of the target machine end is inquired, and if the state of the target machine end is good, the mapping file deployment is started. And independently starting a thread every time one target machine host end is provided, wherein the thread finishes the whole-process interaction with the target machine end until all the mapping files under the target machine node are completely deployed. The tool thus enables multiple target machines to perform deployment operations in parallel. And the image files under a certain target machine are deployed in sequence according to the sequence of the deployment list.
When a user deploys only one mapping file, the tool firstly calls the communication module to establish an interactive relation with the target machine. And querying the compatibility relation between other components which are currently deployed at the target terminal and the components which need to be deployed, if the compatibility relation is between the other components, starting a deployment thread to perform deployment operation, and otherwise, reporting errors. The target machine end deployment operation supports two modes, namely RAM deployment and ROM deployment, wherein the RAM deployment deploys the image file to a volatile memory space and the image file is lost when power is cut off. The ROM deployment deploys the image file to a FLASH space, and the image file can still normally run when the target machine is started next time.
The invention has the characteristics that the version number can be automatically identified and distributed, the version control of the deployed mapping files is realized, simultaneously, the configuration information is graphically displayed, the mapping files can be configured in groups, and further, the function of deploying a plurality of mapping files on a plurality of target machines simultaneously is realized. The method realizes the change management of the mapping file through automatic version generation, and realizes the management of the files needing to be deployed on a plurality of target machines through grouping configuration. Therefore, the tool can simultaneously carry out parallel deployment operation on a plurality of target machines.
The above embodiments are only used for illustrating the technical solutions of the present application, and not for limiting the same; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some technical features may be equally replaced; such modifications and substitutions do not substantially depart from the spirit and scope of the embodiments of the present application, and are intended to be included within the scope of the present application.
