Background

In the field of verification of integrated circuits, Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technology is generally used for data synchronous communication between a verification board and a daughter board providing an extended function for the verification board. In a traditional time division multiplexing technology, a sending end and a receiving end are generally directly interconnected by using data lines, one data line is used for providing a synchronization signal, and the other data line is used for data transmission.

However, as the logic scale of the integrated circuit is larger, more data lines are required between the verification board and the daughter board to transmit more types of data, and the data lines are required to provide the synchronization signals in the conventional time division multiplexing technology, which reduces the efficiency of data transmission.

Detailed Description

For the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the objects, aspects and advantages of the present disclosure, reference is made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

It is to be noted that technical or scientific terms used herein should have the ordinary meaning as understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs, unless otherwise defined. The use of "first," "second," and similar terms in this disclosure is not intended to indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but rather is used to distinguish one element from another. The word "comprising" or "comprises", and the like, means that the element or item listed before the word covers the element or item listed after the word and its equivalents, but does not exclude other elements or items. The terms "connected" or "coupled" and the like are not restricted to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.

When verifying integrated circuit, the daughter board provides multiple extended functionality for the verification board, increases for satisfying the data type between verification board and the daughter board, and the more and more data transmission demand of data volume, needs more data lines to be used for data transmission. However, the present disclosure recognizes that this problem cannot be solved well by merely adding data lines, because adding data lines not only increases the complexity of the verification board and daughter board as a whole, but also means a corresponding increase in the volume of the verification board and daughter board, and the cost increases, and the number of data lines cannot be increased infinitely as the data volume increases.

Fig. 1A shows a system block diagram of time division multiplex communication. Generally, the verification board and the daughter board are usually communicated by time division multiplexing technology, one data line is used for providing a synchronization signal, and the other data line is used for data transmission. As shown in fig. 1A, the first transmitting terminal 110 and the first receiving terminal 120 are connected to each other through a first data line 130 and a second data line 140. The first transmitting end 110 provides the first receiving end 120 with the synchronization signal 132 through the first data line 130, and the first transmitting end 110 acquires the first data 142 in a fixed time slot.

The first data 142 may include a plurality of data segments. The first receiving end 120 may determine a plurality of associated data segments according to the synchronization signal 132 and combine the plurality of data segments into one data. Fig. 1B shows a schematic diagram of time division multiplex communication.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the first DATA 142 may include a plurality of DATA segments (e.g., DATA-A1, DATA-B1, DATA-C1, DATA-D1, DATA-A2, …, DATA-D3, etc.). The synchronization signal 132 may indicate the associated plurality of data segments with its rising and falling edges. In some embodiments, the data segments in one period of the synchronization signal 132 belong to one data unit. For example, the first receiver 120 may determine that the DATA segments DATA-A1, DATA-B1, DATA-C1, DATA-D1 received within one cycle of the sync signal 132 belong to one DATA unit, and combine the DATA segments into DATA A. In some embodiments, the first receiving end 120 may decode the data a and further distribute the decoded data a. It is appreciated that in some embodiments, the first receiver 120 may not be able to decode a single DATA segment (e.g., DATA-a 1).

However, when the traditional time division multiplexing communication mode is adopted between the verification board and the daughter board, the data line for providing the synchronous signal occupies the data line resource, and the data transmission efficiency is reduced. In the field of hardware emulators (emulators), all communication needs to be completed through an FPGA on the hardware emulator, and data lines for communication in the FPGA are quite limited. This results in each data line being important to the hardware emulator. How to complete the time division multiplexing data communication under the condition of occupying the data lines as little as possible becomes a technical problem to be solved urgently by the technology. In view of this, the disclosed embodiments propose a communication method, an electronic device and a storage medium, among others. The communication method may include: obtaining a plurality of data segments via a sending end; sending indication data to a receiving end via a sending end, wherein the indication data comprises a first number of indication data segments; and transmitting the plurality of data segments to a receiving end via a transmitting end, wherein the indication data is used for indicating the length and the starting position of the data segments. And the communication method may further include: receiving, via a receiving end, indication data, the indication data comprising a first number of indication data segments; receiving a plurality of data segments via a receiving end, wherein the indication data is used for indicating the length and the starting position of the data segments; determining, via a receiving end, each of the data segments based on the length and the starting position of the data segment.

According to the communication method, the electronic device and the storage medium provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, before the sending end sends the plurality of data segments, the sending end sends the indicating data for indicating the length and the initial position of the data segment, so that after the receiving end receives the indicating data and the plurality of data segments, the initial position of the plurality of data segments and the length of each data segment can be determined according to the indicating data, and each data segment is further determined, thereby realizing time division multiplexing communication between the sending end and the receiving end based on one data line. Therefore, the data lines originally used for providing the synchronous signals can be used for data transmission, the number of the data lines used for data transmission is increased, and the efficiency of data transmission between the sending end and the receiving end is improved.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a hardware emulator 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 2, the simulator 200 may include 2 Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) 202 and 204 for simulating a logic system design. In some embodiments, the first FPGA 202 serves as a transmitting end of the communication method provided by embodiments of the present application, while the second FPGA 204 serves as a receiving end of the communication method.

It is understood that the communication method of the present application is not limited to being applied between 2 FPGAs. The communication method of the present application is applicable to any case where communication is performed using one data line (or data channel).

Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, a second transmitting end 301 and a second receiving end 302 implement time division multiplexing communication therebetween through a third data line 303. In fig. 3, the second data 304 to be transmitted may include a plurality of digits. These numbers may be binary numbers represented by 1-bit signals, 8-ary numbers represented by 3-bit signals, 16-ary numbers represented by 4-bit signals, or the like.

The second receiver 302 receives the numbers and then properly divides the numbers to obtain correct data.

In order to make the second receiver 302 aware of the correct data partitioning, in some embodiments, the second sender 301 may send the indication data 305 to the second receiver 302 before sending the second data 304. The indicating data 305 may include a plurality of indicating data segments (e.g., 305a, 305b, 305c, 305d, etc.). The indicator data segment may identify itself as an indicator data segment by a particular sequence of a piece of data. As shown in fig. 3, the specific sequence may be an increasing sequence of "01234567". In some embodiments, decreasing sequences or other sequences are also possible.

These indication data 305 may configure the second receiver 302 to process the second data 304 accordingly.

In some embodiments, an indicator data segment may include a plurality of digits. Similarly to the second data 304, the numbers in the indicating data segment may also be binary numbers represented by a 1-bit signal, 8-ary numbers represented by a 3-bit signal, or 16-ary numbers represented by a 4-bit signal, or the like.

A number indicating the number of digits in a data segment may be used to indicate how many digits may be a data segment in the second data 304. And the number of indicator data segments may be used to indicate how many data segments constitute a data unit.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the indicator data segments 305a-305d are L in length, i.e., each data segment includes L numbers. This therefore instructs the second receiver 302 to: each L number in the second data 304 constitutes a data segment. Meanwhile, the indication data 305 has 4 indication data segments, and thus, this indicates to the second receiving end 302: every 4 data segments constitute a data unit. The start point of the second data 304 is the end point of the data 305, i.e. the start position S in fig. 3.

Thus, after receiving the indication data 305 and the second data 304, the second receiving end 302 can decompose each data segment according to the starting position indicated by the indication data 305 and the length of each data segment, and complete the time division multiplexing communication of the second data 304, thereby achieving the purpose of completing the time division multiplexing communication based on one data line, and reducing the occupation of data line resources.

Fig. 4 illustrates an exemplary flow chart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the method 400 may be performed by the simulator 200 of FIG. 2. For example, the method 400 may be performed by the first FPGA 202 of the simulator 200. It is understood that the method 400 may be performed by other electronic devices as well. The method 400 may specifically include the following steps.

At step 402, a sender may retrieve a plurality of data segments. The plurality of data segments may be transmitted, for example, by the first FPGA 202 of fig. 2 to a register on the transmit side.

In some embodiments, the obtaining of the plurality of data segments by the transmitting end may include: the transmitting end acquires a plurality of data segments (e.g.,

data segments

304a, 304b, 304c, 304d, etc. of fig. 3) from different data sources in fixed time slots, constituting the second data 304 to be transmitted. For example, the second sender 301 of fig. 3 retrieves the data segment 304a from the first data source at a first time slot, retrieves the data segment 304b from the second data source at a second time slot, retrieves the data segment 304c from the third data source at a third time slot, and retrieves the data segment 304d from the fourth data source at a fourth time slot.

In some embodiments, a given number of data segments form one data unit among the plurality of data segments of the second data 304. For example, the 4

data segments

304a, 304b, 304c, 304d in fig. 3 may form one data unit.

In step 404, the transmitting end may transmit indication data to the receiving end. The indicating data (e.g., indicating data 305 of fig. 3) includes a first number of indicating data segments (e.g., indicating

data segments

305a, 305b, 305c, 305d, etc. of fig. 3). The indication data can indicate the length and the initial position of the data segment without other synchronous signals, thereby saving data lines for providing the synchronous signals and saving data line resources.

In some embodiments, the first amount of indicating data is used to indicate a given number (e.g., 4) of data units. That is, the number of indicating data segments is the same as the number of data segments in one data unit. For example, if the indication data 305 of fig. 3 comprises 4 indication data segments, it may indicate that every 4 data segments in the second data 304 form a data unit.

In some embodiments, an indicator data segment may include a second number of digits (digits). For example, the second number may represent the number of bits of the indicating data segment, i.e. how many digits the indicating data segment comprises, wherein each digit comprises a number, which may be any one of, for example, "0", "1", "2", … …, etc. For example, the indicator data segment may include an 8-bit number of "34246195," and the second number is 8.

Further, in some embodiments, the number of bits per data segment, i.e., the length of each data segment, may be indicated by indicating the number of bits of the data segment, i.e., the second number. For example, if the

data segments

305a, 305b, 305c, 305d are indicated in fig. 3 to include L digits and the second number is L, then each

data segment

304a, 304b, 304c, 304d may be indicated to be L bits in length and also to have L digits.

In some embodiments, the arrangement of the indicating data segments in the indicating data may have a certain regularity. The data may be determined to be indicative data according to the particular regular arrangement. For example, each indicator data segment may be the same, as

indicator data segments

305a, 305b, 305c, 305d of FIG. 3 are all the same. The same indicator data segments may alternate, as in

indicator data segments

305a, 305b, 305c, 305d of FIG. 3, 305a and 305c are the same as "13579135", 305b and 305d are the same as "24682648", and 305a, 305c differ from 305b, 305 d.

In some embodiments, the numbers indicating the second number in the data segment are arranged in a particular order. That is, the numbers in each indicator data segment may also have a particular order. In some embodiments, the particular order comprises a continuously increasing order or a continuously decreasing order. For example, the

indicator data segments

305a, 305b, 305c, 305d of fig. 3 may include a consecutive increasing order of numbers "01234567" and a consecutive decreasing order of numbers "76543210" to indicate that they are indicator data segments.

In step 406, the transmitting end may transmit a plurality of data segments to the receiving end. In some embodiments, the next data segment of the indicating data is the starting position of the plurality of data segments. For example, after the second sender 301 in fig. 3 sends the indication data 305, the second data 304 is sent, and then the next data segment 304a of the indication data 305 is the start position of the data 304, that is, the data segment 304a starts from the start position S, and the following data are all the second data 304.

The receiving end can restore the data to be received according to the indication data and the plurality of data segments from the transmitting end.

Fig. 5 illustrates an exemplary flow chart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The method 500 may be performed by the simulator 200 of FIG. 2. For example, the method 500 may be performed by the second FPGA 204. The method 500 may specifically include the following steps.

In step 502, the receiving end receives indication data, which comprises a first number of indication data segments. For example, the second receiver 302 in fig. 3 receives the indication data 305 first, and includes 4 indication data segments, i.e. the first number is 4.

The indication data can be preset to the sending end and the receiving end, and the sending end and the receiving end both know the characteristics of the indication data, such as the specific arrangement sequence of the numbers in the indication data section. The transmitting end generates and transmits the indicating data according to the characteristics of the preset indicating data, and when the receiving end receives the indicating data, the receiving end can know the received indicating data according to the specific arrangement sequence of the numbers. For example, the second transmitting end 301 and the second receiving end 302 in fig. 3 preset that each indicator data segment in the indicator data is the same number in the consecutive increasing order, then the 4

indicator data segments

305a, 305b, 305c, 305d sent by the second transmitting end 301 are numbers "01234567" in the consecutive increasing order, and after receiving the 4 segments of numbers "01234567", the second receiving end 302 can determine that the 4 segments of numbers "01234567" are all indicator data segments, and 305a, 305b, 305c, 305d form the indicator data 305. At this time, the number of indicator data segments in the indicator data 305 is 4, and the length of each indicator data segment is 8, the second receiving end 302 may determine that the following non-indicator data forms one data unit with 4 data segments, and the length of each data segment is 8.

At step 504, the receiving end receives a plurality of data segments. For example, after receiving the indication data 305, the second receiver 302 in fig. 3 continues to receive the second data 304, and may determine that the next data segment of the indication data 305 is the starting position S of the following second data 304.

In step 506, the receiving end distinguishes each of the data segments based on the length and the start position of the data segment. For example, after determining that the start position of the second data 304 is the data segment 304a and the length of each data segment is L bits according to the indication data 305, the second receiving end 302 in fig. 3 starts from the start position S to S + L bits to form the data segment 304a, starts from the start position S + L to S +2L bits to form the data segment 304b, and so on, so as to distinguish the data of each data segment.

According to the communication method of the embodiment of the disclosure, the indicating data is adopted to indicate the length and the starting position of the non-indicating data before the non-indicating data, and the sending end and the receiving end can also realize the communication of data segments with different lengths based on one data line. For example, the second transmitting end 301 in fig. 3 may transmit a plurality of data segments with different lengths and indication data thereof to the second receiving end 302 based on the third data line 303, and after the second receiving end 302 receives the plurality of data segments with different lengths and the indication data thereof, the data segments with different lengths can be distinguished based on the indication data. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 illustrates an example of communication data of different length data segments in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3 and fig. 6, the second sender 301 may send first indication data 601 to the second receiver 302, where the first indication data 601 includes 4 first

indication data segments

601a, 601b, 601c, and 601d, and each first indication data segment includes 8-bit numbers "01234567"; the second sender 301 may then send a plurality of data segments 603a-603d, 604a-604d, 605a-605d, … … to the second receiver 302, wherein the next data segment according to the first indication data 601 is the starting position 602 of the plurality of data segments 603a-603d, 604a-604d, 605a-605d, … …, etc. The number of first indicating data segments of the first indicating data 601 is 4, and every 4 data segments of the plurality of data segments 603a-603d, 604a-604d, 605a-605d, … … form a data unit, i.e. the plurality of data segments 603a-603d, 604a-604d, 605a-605d, … … may form a

data unit

603, 604, 605, … …. The first

indicator data segments

601a, 601b, 601c, 601d comprise 8-bit numbers, and each data segment 603a-605d is 8 bits in length.

Then, the second sender 301 may further send a second indication data 606 to the second receiver 302, where the second indication data 606 includes 2 second

indication data segments

606a, 606b, and each second indication data segment includes successively increasing 16-bit numbers 0-15; the second sender 301 may then send a plurality of data segments 608 a-608 b, 609a-609b, … … to the second receiver 302, wherein the next data segment according to the second indication data 606 is the starting position 607 of the plurality of data segments according to 608 a-608 b, 609a-609b, … …, etc. The number of second indicator data segments of the second indicator data 606 is 2, and every 2 data segments of the plurality of data segments 608 a-608 b, 609a-609b, … … form a data unit, i.e. the plurality of data segments 608 a-608 b, 609a-609b, … … may form a

data unit

608, 609, … …. The second

indicator data segments

606a, 606b comprise 16-bit numbers, and each data segment 608a-609b is 16 bits in length. The length of data segments 608a-609b is different from the length of data segments 603a-605 d.

The second receiving end 302 receives the first indicating data 601, and the numbers of each indicating data segment in the first indicating data 601 are arranged in a continuous increasing order, and have the characteristics of indicating data, then the second receiving end 302 can determine 601 as the first indicating data. The second receiving end 302 may determine each data segment 603a-605d after receiving the data segments 603a-605d according to the starting position 602 indicated by the first indication data 601 and the length of each data segment being 8 bits.

Similarly, the second receiving end 302 receives the second indication data 606, and the numbers of each indication data segment in the second indication data 606 are arranged in a continuous ascending order, and have the characteristics of the indication data, then the second receiving end 302 may determine 606 as the second indication data. The second receiver 302 may determine each data segment 608a-609b after receiving the data segments 608a-609b according to the start position 607 indicated by the second indication data 606 and the length of each data segment is 16 bits.

Therefore, the communication method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can implement time division multiplexing communication of data with different lengths between the transmitting end and the receiving end based on one data line. It should be noted that the data segments with different lengths and their indication data in fig. 6 are only examples and are not intended to be limiting, and the number of the data segments with different lengths and their indication data may be more or less, and is not limited herein.
