The prior built-in TCON scheme generally transplants the PMU/Gamma on a mainboard, and because the PMU/Gamma is transferred to the mainboard from the TCON board and can share the Flash storage of an SOC end, a charged Erasable Programmable read only memory (EEPROM) at the PMU/Gamma end does not need to be reserved, and the smart television can adopt a scheme of storing built-in TCON.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

The application scenario described in the embodiment of the present invention is for more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, and does not form a limitation on the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and it can be known by a person skilled in the art that with the occurrence of a new application scenario, the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present invention is also applicable to similar technical problems. In the description of the present invention, the term "plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

In some embodiments, the logic board TCON of the display device includes at least two types, type 1, as shown in fig. 1, the display device adopts an external TCON, the external TCON is located outside the main board, and is a separate TCON board, and is separated from the main board, and for the smart television with the external TCON, the working parameters such as the voltage of the external TCON are stored in an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) at a Power Management Unit (PMU)/display parameter Gamma end; and 2, the display equipment adopts a built-in TCON, PMU/Gamma chips of the built-in TCON are transplanted to a System On Chip (SOC) mainboard, and the SOC realizes the control of PMU/Gamma voltage parameters. The type 2 can be divided into two subtypes, and the subtype 1 is a built-in TCON with storage, as shown in fig. 2, the built-in TCON is located on a main board of the display device, and a memory of the built-in TCON is an EEPROM; subtype 2 is built-in TCON for memory removal, as shown in fig. 3, the built-in TCON is located on the main board of the display device and shares a memory module with the SOC.

The display equipment such as the intelligent television with the built-in TCON is adopted, particularly the function of a TCON chip is realized by the SOC, the prior intelligent television with the built-in TCON integrally transplants PMU/Gamma onto a mainboard, but still retains the original EEPROM of the TCON; in fact, because the PMU/Gamma is transferred from the TCON board to the main board, the Flash storage of the SOC end can be shared, so that the EEPROM of the PMU/Gamma end does not need to be reserved. The embodiment of the invention can provide an initialization method of the PMU/Gamma working parameters based on the PMU/Gamma chip of the display equipment such as the smart television with the built-in TCON without storage. The initialization of the working parameter of the built-in TCON refers to a step of writing the working parameter into a register of the built-in TCON in the starting process.

Because the built-in TCON removes a memory of the built-in TCON, the working parameters of the built-in TCON in the display panel are required to be read and written into a register of the built-in TCON every time the display panel is started. The process of each boot start is to load a small boot loader (sboot) from a boot ROM (a small mask ROM or a write-protected flash memory embedded in a processor chip and containing a first code executed by the processor at power-on or reset) of the CPU, and to ensure that the boot Environment is in a secure Environment (secure world), a secure Environment ARM Trusted Firmware (ARM) and an Open-source Trusted Execution Environment (option) need to be started in the sboot. When starting up (alternating current starting up) in a power-off state, starting up a UBoot, finishing basic hardware initialization through a first stage of a UBoot starting up process, including setting a processor mode to be an SVC mode, closing a watchdog, shielding interruption, initializing a synchronous dynamic random access memory (sdram), setting a stack, setting a clock, copying codes from a flash memory to the memory, clearing a bss section (a memory area used for storing an uninitialized global variable and a static variable which are not initialized or are initialized to be 0 in a program), and the like; and acquiring the kernel mirror image through the second stage of the UBoot starting process, moving the kernel to a proper loading address and finally finishing the kernel starting.

Because a Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is not powered down when a Suspend To RAM (STR) is in standby, and a complete UBoot startup stream is not necessarily executed in an STR startup flow, a startup scheme in a Fast STR mode is proposed at present in order to optimize the startup speed in the STR mode, as shown in fig. 4, the startup scheme skips UBoot startup in the startup flow in the original STR mode, and an kernel mirror image of an operating system is directly loaded by an option in a sboot. Therefore, how to realize the initialization of the PMU/Gamma chip in the boot process of applying the Fast STR mode is an urgent technical problem to be solved.

In order to solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, as shown in fig. 5, the device includes a display panel 500, a TCON module 501, a processor 502, and a storage module 503, where:

in this embodiment, regardless of which type of TCON module, the working parameters read in the power-on process may be stored in the storage module of the display device, so that in the STR startup process, the working parameters of the TCON module may be directly obtained from the storage partition of the storage module, and thus in the kernel startup process, the working parameters of the TCON module in the storage partition of the storage module are written into the TCON module, so as to implement initialization of the working parameters of the TCON module while ensuring that the startup speed is not affected. Since the process of initializing the operating parameters in this embodiment does not need to use the memory of the TCON module itself, this embodiment can be applied to the display device with the TCON module built therein for storage.

It should be noted that, in the TCON module of the display device in this embodiment, a Flash memory in the display panel is used to store operating parameters of the TCON module, such as voltage parameters. Therefore, in the prior art, when the display device is started up each time, namely, in the process of starting up the Uboot each time, the working parameters in the display panel are read, and the read working parameters are written into the PMU/Gamma chip of the TCON module, but the working parameters in the display panel are read only in the process of starting up the display device in the power-off state, and the read working parameters are stored in the memory partition of the memory module of the display device, and then when the STR is executed in the STR standby state, because the DDR is not powered down, the step of reading the working parameters in the display panel by the Uboot can be skipped, and in the process of directly starting the kernel, the working parameters in the memory partition are written into the chip of the TCON module, so that the initialization of the working parameters of the TCON module, namely the initialization of the parameters such as voltage of the PMU/Gamma chip, is realized.

The storage module may be an Embedded memory (eMMC) in the SOC of the display device.

In the initialization process of the working parameters of the TCON module in this embodiment, the EEPROM of the TCON module itself is not needed, but the working parameters are stored in the Flash memory of the display panel, so that the memory of the TCON module is not needed to be reserved, the cost of the PCB is effectively reduced, and in the STR startup starting process, the influence on the startup speed is reduced while the working parameters of the chip of the TCON module are initialized.

In some embodiments, in order to ensure the accuracy of the working parameters stored in the storage partition, the present embodiment provides a verification method, which is specifically as follows:

prior to storing the operating parameter in the storage partition, the processor is further configured to perform:

1) determining check values of bytes except check bytes in the working parameters through a CRC algorithm;

2) and if the check value is the same as the check byte of the working parameter, determining that the check is passed.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 6, all bytes of the operating parameter include a check byte, which is generally located in the last two bytes of the operating parameter.

In implementation, the voltage parameter of the PMU is fixed and can be stored in an eMMC Flash of the SOC in the form of a configuration file; and the Gamma voltage parameter needs to be started and read from a Flash memory of the display panel through an SPI bus. For example, n bytes of data need to be read each time the computer is started, wherein the first n-2 bytes are valid data, and the last 2 bytes are CRC check values and are marked as read _ CRC; and calculating a CRC value of the first n-2 data through a CRC algorithm, recording the CRC value as calc _ CRC, and writing the read n bytes of data into a Gamma register through I2C if the read _ CRC is consistent with the calc _ CRC.

The method comprises the steps that all n bytes of data of working parameters are read only during first power-on, after the data are checked, all n bytes of working parameters are stored in an eMMC subarea, only the last 2 bytes of check values of the working parameters stored in a display panel are read through an SPI each time, the check values are compared with the check values stored in the eMMC, if the check values are consistent, the working parameters stored in the eMMC are effective, and the n bytes of data of the working parameters stored in the eMMC can be directly used; if the data is inconsistent (for example, the display panel is replaced), all byte data of the working parameters in the display panel need to be read again. As shown in fig. 7, the processor of the display device is configured to execute the following implementation flow:

step 700, responding to a power-on instruction in a power-off state, and reading check bytes of working parameters of a TCON (thyristor controlled ON) in a display panel if the power-on instruction is not powered on for the first time;

step 701, if the check byte is the same as the check byte of the working parameter in the storage partition, writing the working parameter in the storage partition into the TCON;

the working parameters in the storage partition are obtained by reading all bytes of the working parameters of the built-in TCON in the display panel in the process of first power-on, verifying the working parameters and storing all bytes of the working parameters in the storage partition after the working parameters are verified and the verification is determined to be passed.

It should be noted that the first power-on in this embodiment refers to the first power-on after power-on detection and factory shipment, that is, the first power-on when the user uses the display device.

In the method, in the starting-up process without first power-on, only the check bytes of the working parameters of the TCON in the display panel are read, and all bytes of the working parameters are not required to be read, so that the time for reading the working parameters is saved, and in the process of checking, only the read check bytes are required to be compared with the check bytes of the working parameters in the storage partition to judge whether the read check bytes are consistent with the check bytes of the working parameters, and the check value is not required to be calculated through the non-check bytes, so that the check time is saved. By using the method, the working parameters in the storage partition are written into the TCON, so that the starting speed can be further improved while the working parameters are initialized.

In some embodiments, after reading the check byte of the operating parameter of the TCON in the display panel, the method further includes:

and if the check byte is different from the check byte of the working parameter in the storage partition, re-reading all bytes of the working parameter of the TCON in the display panel, and checking the working parameter.

In implementation, when power is turned on for the first time, n bytes of data stored in the display panel are read through the SPI in the UBoot, a check value calc _ CRC is calculated through a CRC algorithm for the first n-2 bytes of data, the last two bytes are recorded as check bytes read _ CRC, the effectiveness of the read working parameters is confirmed by comparing the read _ CRC with the calc _ CRC, and if the comparison results are the same, all bytes of the working parameters are stored in the eMMC bare partition at the SOC end. And if the comparison result is different, re-reading the n bytes of data stored in the display panel.

In this embodiment, before checking the working parameter, it may be further determined whether the TCON module is configured with the memory, if the memory is configured, the configured working parameter in the memory may be read and written into the chip of the TCON module, otherwise, the working parameter is checked, and after the checking is passed, all bytes of the working parameter are stored in the storage partition and written into the chip of the TCON module.

In some embodiments, after reading the operating parameters in the display panel in the process of booting in the power-off state, if it is determined that the type of the TCON module is the TCON module with storage, the read operating parameters in the display panel may be stored in the memory of the TCON module with storage. And responding to an STR starting instruction in an STR standby state, starting a kernel, and writing working parameters in a memory of the TCON module with the storage into the TCON module with the storage in the process of starting the kernel.

In some embodiments, to further increase the boot speed while initializing the operating parameter, the present embodiment further provides a method for writing the operating parameter, that is, the processor is configured to perform:

1) reading all register data of the TCON through an IIC command based on an IIC bus; the IIC bus is also called I2C bus, and is a simple, bidirectional two-wire synchronous serial bus.

In implementation, all register data of the TCON are read into a memory through an IIC command; according to the working parameters in the memory partition, the register data is rewritten in the memory;

in implementation, the rewriting of the register data is accomplished as follows:

11) determining a register address of TCON corresponding to the working parameter;

12) and in the memory, rewriting the register data corresponding to the register address into the working parameter.

2) All register data containing the operating parameters are written into the TCON by another IIC command.

As shown in fig. 8, this embodiment provides a schematic diagram of a built-in TCON register, and in implementation, it is necessary to write the operating parameters into the register of the PMU/Gamma chip through the IIC bus (command); if the number of registers to be written is 15, and the register addresses are discretely distributed between 0 and 99 as black squares in the figure, the current method is to send 15 IIC commands, each IIC command sends a byte of data to a fixed offset address (register address), and completes writing of one operating parameter, it needs to be noted that IIC devices are generally single-chip microcomputers, and the speed for processing IIC commands is limited, for example, the IIC device starts processing after receiving a first command, and if the IIC device has not finished processing a second command, the second command cannot be responded, so a delay needs to be added between two adjacent IIC commands, the length of the delay depends on the specification definition of a chip manufacturer, and the delay here is also the most time-consuming reason in the whole operating parameter initialization flow.

Therefore, in the current parameter writing method, a delay of 50ms needs to be added between every two IIC commands, so that the delay time is (15-1) × 50 ═ 700ms, and generally, the number of registers to be actually written is 50, and the average time is 2 seconds to 3 seconds. The embodiment of the invention optimizes the writing of the working parameters by the method, and can complete the writing of all the working parameters only by two IIC commands, thereby effectively shortening the writing delay and improving the starting speed.

The specific steps of writing the working parameters in the above manner are as follows:

1) reading 100 register data of 0-99 registers into a memory through an IIC command;

in implementation, 0-99 register data may be read into a global array (e.g., the array is param [100 ]).

2) In the memory, rewriting the register data corresponding to the register address into the working parameter;

in implementation, the register value corresponding to the modification requirement can be replaced by the corresponding operating parameter through a code algorithm, for example, the 0 th, 12 th and 13 th register data need to be replaced, and the replacement method is as follows:

Param[0]＝value1；

Param[12]＝value2；

Param[13]＝value3；

3) and writing the modified 100 bytes of data into the built-in TCON module through an IIC command, thereby completing the writing of the voltage parameter.

In implementation, after the replacement is completed, 100 bytes of data in the entire array are sent to the TCON module through an IIC command, and the writing of the working parameters is completed.

The embodiment optimizes parameter writing, delays the two IIC commands by 50ms, consumes less time than 1ms for data processing in the memory, ensures that the total time consumption is less than 100ms, greatly optimizes the writing time for internally storing the TCON parameters, and obviously improves the starting speed.

and if the check byte of the check value is different from the check byte of the working parameter, acquiring the working parameter from a default configuration file. In this embodiment, the storage manner of the default configuration file is not limited too much.

As shown in fig. 9, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for implementing initialization of a built-in TCON parameter based on the display device, where a processor of the display device is configured to execute the following implementation procedures:

step 900, responding to a starting-up instruction in a power-off state, and reading working parameters in a display panel;

step 901, determining the type of the TCON module as a built-in TCON module for storage according to the working parameters;

step 902, determining check values of bytes except check bytes in the working parameters through a CRC algorithm;

step 903, judging whether the check value is the same as the check byte of the working parameter, if so, executing step 904, otherwise, executing step 907;

step 904, storing the read working parameters in a storage partition of a storage module;

step 905, responding to an STR starting instruction in an STR standby state, and starting a kernel;

step 906, in the process of starting the kernel, writing the working parameters of the built-in TCON module in the memory partition of the memory module into a chip of the built-in TCON module;

in implementation, all register data of the built-in TCON are read through an IIC command based on an IIC bus; all register data containing the operating parameters are written into the chip of the built-in TCON by another IIC command.

Step 907, obtain the working parameters from the default configuration file.

As shown in fig. 10, based on the display device, an embodiment of the present invention provides a functional structure diagram for implementing initialization of a built-in TCON parameter, including a display panel 1000 and a motherboard 1001, where the display panel includes a Flash memory 1002, the motherboard includes a TCON module 1003, a processor SOC chip 1004, and a memory module eMMC1005, where the built-in TCON module includes a PMU/Gamma chip, and an EEPROM memory of the built-in TCON module itself is removed.

As shown in fig. 11, in the present embodiment, based on the display device, the processor is configured to perform the following process during the power-on process:

1100, reading working parameters of a built-in TCON module stored in a Flash memory of a display panel when the computer is powered on in a power-off state;

specifically, the voltage parameter of the PMU is fixed and can be stored in an eMMC Flash of the SOC in a configuration file form; and the Gamma voltage parameter needs to be started and read from a Flash memory of the display panel through an SPI bus.

Step 1101, storing the read working parameters of the built-in TCON module in the eMMC;

step 1102, responding to an STR starting instruction in an STR standby state, and starting a kernel;

step 1103, writing the working parameters in the eMMC into the chip of the built-in TCON module in the process of starting the kernel.

In some embodiments, if all bytes of the operating parameters in the eMMC are 0, it is determined that the operating parameters read from the display panel during ac power-on (power-off) are invalid, and the operating parameters may be obtained from a default configuration file.

As shown in fig. 12, based on the display device, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a detailed method for initializing a built-in TCON parameter, where a processor of the display device is configured to execute the following implementation procedures:

step 1200, responding to a power-on instruction in a power-off state, and reading all bytes of working parameters of a built-in TCON module in a display panel if the power-on instruction is the first power-on;

step 1201, checking the working parameters;

step 1202, judging whether the checking is passed, if so, executing step 1203, otherwise, executing step 1208;

step 1203, storing all bytes of the working parameters in a storage partition;

step 1204, responding to a power-on instruction in a power-off state, and reading check bytes of working parameters of a built-in TCON module in the display panel if the power-on instruction is not powered on for the first time;
