Detailed Description
In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the use of the terms "first", "second", etc. to describe various elements is not intended to limit the positional relationship, the timing relationship, or the importance relationship of the elements, and such terms are used only to distinguish one element from another. In some examples, a first element and a second element may refer to the same instance of the element, while in some cases they may refer to different instances based on the context of the description.
Generally, a chip needs to be started based on a start-up program, and by executing the start-up program, modules such as a processor, a memory, and a communication interface in the chip can be detected and initialized, so that the chip can communicate with other external devices and execute corresponding application programs.
In the related art, when a start-up program of a chip needs to be debugged, the chip may be started based on the start-up program to be debugged, and when the start-up program to be debugged has an error, the chip may not normally communicate with the outside, that is, an external instruction may not be obtained or an application program may not be executed. In this case, the start-up procedure of the chip needs to be reconfigured by means of manual programming. It can be seen that this implementation is limited by physical space and cannot implement remote debugging of the chip.
Based on this, the present disclosure provides a chip starting method including an online debugging mode, which can flexibly adjust a starting mode of a chip and a starting program for executing starting by configuring starting parameters by using a target request related to chip starting and then starting the chip based on the starting parameters, thereby realizing remote debugging of the chip.
Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of a start-up method 100 of a chip according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the method 100 includes:
step S110, acquiring a target request related to chip starting, wherein the target request comprises a starting program identifier to be selected and starting mode information, the starting mode information is used for indicating a starting mode of the chip, the starting program identifier to be selected can indicate a starting program to be selected in a plurality of starting programs, and the starting mode of the chip comprises an online debugging mode;
step S120, updating starting parameter information based on the starting program identifier to be selected and the starting mode information, wherein the starting parameter information comprises a debugging identifier which is used for indicating whether debugging is carried out or not; and
and step S130, starting the chip based on the starting parameter information.
Thereby, the information contained in the target request can be used to indicate the starting mode of the chip and the starting program to be selected, the starting parameter information is configured based on the information, and the chip is started based on the configured starting parameter, so that the chip can be started according to the information indicated by the target request. The starting parameters are utilized to control the chip to be started, so that the starting program for executing the chip to be started can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the starting parameters under the condition that the starting program possibly has errors, and the starting process of the chip is prevented from being influenced by the starting program with errors. It should be understood that the target request may be a remote request, that is, the start parameter information of the chip is remotely configured, and the remote debugging of the chip may be implemented by configuring the start mode of the chip to be an online debugging mode by using the remote request.
The chip may refer to various types of chips such as a microprocessor, a graphic processor, a tensor processor, a neural network processor, a communication control chip, a digital signal processing chip, an SOC (System on chip) chip, and the like, for example, without limitation.
Illustratively, the target request can be sent manually under the condition that the chip is working normally, and the process of manually configuring and sending the target request is not limited by physical distance under the condition that the chip establishes communication connection with other devices or equipment, so that the starting parameter information of the chip can be remotely and flexibly configured. The target request may be, for example, a debug request or an update request, thereby enabling remote debugging or updating of the chip boot program.
Illustratively, the plurality of boot programs and boot parameter information may be stored in a memory communicatively coupled to the chip, such as a flash memory. In the normal working process of the chip, the chip can be used for modifying the plurality of starting programs and the starting parameter information, so that the chip can read the starting parameter information in the restarting process, and obtain and execute the corresponding starting program based on the starting parameter information, thereby realizing the starting process of the control chip.
According to some embodiments, the startup parameter information further comprises a selected startup procedure identification. Therefore, the debugging identifier and the selected starting program identifier can be used for indicating the starting program for executing the chip starting conveniently and efficiently, and the chip starting efficiency is improved.
In some examples, each of the plurality of boot programs has a uniquely determined identifier, the selected boot program identifier and the debug identifier may be implemented by using variable tags, and the boot program to be obtained and used for executing chip boot may be determined by reading a value of a corresponding variable.
For example, the start parameter information may be in other forms, such as an address pointer to indicate a selected start program of a plurality of start programs, or a start program for executing chip start, which is not limited herein.
According to some embodiments, updating the boot parameter information in step S120 based on the to-be-selected boot program identifier and the boot mode information includes: responding to the starting mode information indicating that the starting mode of the chip is an online debugging mode, and determining the current starting program identifier as the selected starting program identifier; and updating the debugging identification so that the updated debugging identification indicates debugging. Therefore, when the target request is a debugging request, the selected startup program identifier in the startup parameter information is not updated, only the debugging identifier is updated to indicate debugging, so that startup program debugging can be executed, and when the debugging program has an error, the chip can be restarted based on the startup program corresponding to the selected startup program identifier in the startup parameter information, so that the chip can be restarted successfully.
Further, according to some embodiments, the start parameter information further includes the start program identifier to be selected, and the starting the chip in step S130 based on the start parameter information includes: responding to the starting mode information to indicate that the starting mode of the chip is an online debugging mode, and acquiring a starting program to be selected based on the starting program identification to be selected; and starting the chip by using the starting program to be selected so as to test the starting program to be selected. Therefore, the startup parameter information can be used for indicating the execution of the debugging and the startup program to be debugged which needs to be executed simply and efficiently, and further executing and testing the startup program to be debugged.
Illustratively, the selected start-up program identifier may be a start-up program used to instruct the chip to restart.
In one example, the selected initiator identifier may be a pointer to initiator a, and the target request may include initiator B to be selected and indicate an online debugging mode, i.e., for indicating debugging initiator B. By using the method as described above, the boot program B can be acquired based on the boot program identifier to be selected, and then the boot program B is executed and tested, in the case where the debugging identifier indicates to perform debugging.
As described above, the start-up procedure is used to initialize the modules of the processor, the memory, the communication interface, etc. in the chip, so that the chip can communicate with other external devices and execute the corresponding application programs. In the above example, the starting the chip by using the to-be-selected starting program to test the to-be-selected starting program includes: and executing the starting program B to be debugged to initialize the chip, further testing the basic function of the chip, and determining whether the starting program B has errors or not based on the basic function.
The test of the selected start-up program may be performed by executing a pre-configured test program. For example, when the function of the to-be-selected start-up program is to initialize the communication function of the chip, a communication test program may be configured in advance for testing whether the to-be-selected start-up program can normally initialize the communication function of the chip.
It should be understood that other ways of starting the chip based on the start parameter information are also possible. For example, in one example, the plurality of boot programs includes only two boot programs, in which case the boot parameter information includes only the selected boot program identifier and the debug identifier as described above, and booting the chip based on the boot parameter information includes: responding to the starting mode information indicating that the starting mode of the chip is an online debugging mode, and acquiring another starting program different from the selected starting program in the two starting programs based on the selected starting program identification; and starting the chip by using the other starting program so as to test the starting program to be selected. Therefore, the combination judgment can be carried out by utilizing the identification information contained in the startup parameter information, the startup program required to be executed is simply and efficiently indicated, and the chip is started based on the startup program.
In a practical application scenario, there are the following possibilities: errors may exist in the boot program to be debugged, which may cause the chip to be unable to initialize normally, and further unable to operate and communicate normally.
Based on this, according to some embodiments, step S130 further comprises: and after the starting program to be selected is used for starting, updating the debugging identification again so as to enable the debugging identification after updating again to indicate that debugging is not carried out. Therefore, debugging is not executed when the chip is restarted, the chip is restarted by the starting program corresponding to the starting program identifier selected from the starting parameters, and the chip can be successfully restarted.
Further, according to some embodiments, the method 100 further comprises: and restarting the chip based on the updated starting parameter information in response to the test failure of the starting program to be selected. By updating the debugging identification, the chip can be restarted based on a non-debugging mode under the condition that the starting program to be debugged has errors, so that the restarting process of the chip is prevented from being influenced by the errors of the starting program to be debugged, and the normal operation of the chip is ensured.
With continued reference to the above-described example, in the case where the startup parameter information only includes the selected startup program identifier and the debugging identifier as described above, a combined judgment may be performed by using the two pieces of identification information to determine the startup program to be executed. After updating the debugging identifier, the process of restarting the chip includes: and responding to the updated debugging identification indication without debugging, and acquiring the selected starting program based on the selected starting program identification so as to start the chip. Illustratively, the selected start-up program identifier may be a start-up program applied when the chip is instructed to restart, so that the updated start-up parameter information can instruct to restart by using the current start-up program, and further the chip can be restarted by using the start-up program with a normal function when the start-up program to be debugged has an error, thereby ensuring normal operation of the chip.
After determining that the test for the to-be-selected startup program does not pass, the method may further search and modify a problem existing in the startup program based on the test result, and then repeatedly perform the startup and test steps by using the modified to-be-selected startup program, so as to implement debugging of the startup program.
It should be understood that the start-up procedure to be selected may replace the current start-up procedure after the test passes. Therefore, after the test of the startup program to be selected is completed, the startup parameter information may be updated again, so that the updated startup parameter information can indicate that the startup program to be selected is utilized for startup.
Based on this, according to some embodiments, the method 100 further comprises: and in response to the test passing of the starting program to be selected, updating the selected starting program identifier to the starting program identifier to be selected. Therefore, after the test of the starting program to be selected is finished, the starting parameter information can be simply, conveniently and efficiently utilized to control the subsequent chip starting process, so that the chip can be started by utilizing the starting program to be selected.
It should be understood that the startup mode of the chip is not limited to the online debugging mode, and for example, in an actual application scenario, an update request may be sent to the chip to update the startup program for execution in the startup process in a case where it is determined that the startup program to be updated is normal in function.
Based on this, according to some embodiments, the startup mode of the chip further includes an online update mode, and updating the startup parameter information based on the startup program identifier to be selected and the startup mode information in step S120 includes: in response to the starting mode information indicating that the starting mode of the chip is an online updating mode, updating the selected starting program identifier to the starting program identifier to be selected; and updating the debugging identification so that the updated debugging identification indicates that debugging is not performed, so that the chip can be restarted by the starting program corresponding to the starting program identification to be selected to update the starting program.
It should be understood that updating the debug flag may include a case where the debug flag before and after the update is inconsistent, and may also include a case where the debug flag before and after the update is consistent.
Further, according to some embodiments, the booting the chip based on the boot parameter information in step S130 includes: responding to the starting mode information to indicate that the starting mode of the chip is an online updating mode, and acquiring a selected starting program based on the updated selected starting program identifier; and restarting the chip by using the selected starting program. Therefore, the startup parameter information can be used for indicating the startup program to be debugged, which needs to be executed, simply and efficiently, and then the chip startup program is executed and updated.
Example embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with examples.
Fig. 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of a storage structure of a start-up program and start-up parameter information of a chip according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 3A and 3B illustrate a flowchart of a start-up method of a chip according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to fig. 2, in some examples, the plurality of boot programs includes a boot program a and a boot program B, and the boot parameter information and the boot program are stored in a memory communicatively coupled to the chip, which may be, for example, a flash memory. In the normal working process of the chip, the chip can be used for modifying the starting program of the starting parameter information in the flash memory, and the respective storage address information of the above contents can be recorded. In other examples, the chip may also read and write the startup parameter information and the startup program in the flash memory according to predefined storage address information, so as to improve stability of data storage.
In the above example, on the basis that each boot program has a uniquely determined identifier (a or B), the selected boot program identifier and the debugging identifier may be implemented by using two variable tags, respectively, for example, the selected boot program may be indicated by assigning a value (a or B) to the variable Select _ flag, and the Debug _ flag may be assigned a value (1 or 0) to indicate whether to Debug. In the chip starting process, the starting parameter information is read from a flash memory, then a corresponding starting program to be executed is obtained based on the starting parameter information, and the chip is started based on the starting program.
In some embodiments, the chip may be booted using a method of booting the chip as shown in FIG. 3. Fig. 3A and 3B show flowcharts of a chip start-up method in the online debug mode and the online update mode, respectively. As shown in fig. 3A, when the start mode of the chip is the online debugging mode, the start method of the chip includes:
s1, acquiring a target request related to chip starting, wherein the target request comprises a starting program identifier to be selected and starting mode information. The target request may be manually configured and sent to the chip.
In this example, the target request is used to instruct debugging or updating for the boot program B, that is, the boot program currently utilized by the chip is the boot program a (i.e., the current value of the variable Select _ flag is a), and the boot program to be selected is the boot program B.
Step S2, in response to determining that the start mode of the chip is the online debugging mode, determining the current start program identifier a as the selected start program identifier, and continuing to execute the following steps S3 to S10:
and S3, updating the debugging identification Debug _ flag so that the updated debugging identification Debug _ flag indicates debugging. As described above, the Debug flag is implemented by using the variable flag Debug _ flag, i.e. the variable Debug _ flag may be assigned to 1 in this step to indicate debugging.
Step S2 may be implemented by using an executable assignment statement for the variable Select _ flag, and step S3 may be implemented by using an executable assignment statement for the variable Debug _ flag. It can be seen that there are the following possibilities in the application flow: the current identifier already meets the corresponding requirements, so that no update of the identifier is required, i.e. no corresponding assignment statement needs to be executed. However, in an actual application scenario, a corresponding process can be implemented by using a unified executable file containing the assignment statement, which is simpler and faster.
And S4, acquiring a starting program B to be selected based on the debugging identification and the selected starting program identification. That is, when the debugging identifier indicates to perform debugging and the selected initiator identifier is still determined to be the current initiator identifier, the initiator B to be selected is obtained based on the initiator identifier to be selected in the target request. In this example, the boot program B to be selected may be acquired from the flash memory according to pre-stored address information or predefined address information.
And S5, starting the chip by using the starting program B to be selected. By executing the startup program B to be selected, modules such as a processor, a memory, a communication interface and the like in the chip can be initialized, so that the chip can communicate with other external devices and execute corresponding application programs.
And S6, updating the debugging identification Debug _ flag so that the updated debugging identification Debug _ flag indicates that debugging is not performed. As described previously, updating the identification in the startup parameter information may be accomplished using an executable assignment statement for the corresponding variable. It should be appreciated that in some examples, the executable assignment statement may be inserted into a corresponding executable file of the initiator, and may be inserted into a front sequence of the executable file, so that the initiator can update the debug flag as early as possible during execution. For example, after the communication function between the chip and the flash memory is initialized, the stored debugging identifier may be updated, so that the starting parameter information may be prevented from being affected by an error of the starting program.
And S7, testing the starting program to be selected. In this example, each function of the chip may be tested by executing a pre-configured test program to determine whether the to-be-selected start-up program B can normally initialize the corresponding function of the chip.
And S8, judging whether the test of the starting program to be selected passes or not.
And responding to the test passing of the starting program to be selected, executing step S9, and updating the selected starting program identifier to the starting program identifier B to be selected. On this basis, the chip can be started by using the starting program B which has passed the test in the next starting process in combination with the debugging identifier updated in step S6.
And responding to the test failure of the starting program to be selected, executing the step S10, and restarting the chip based on the updated starting parameter information. And (4) combining the debugging identifier updated in the step (S6), the chip can be started by using the original starting program A in the next starting process, so that the restarting process of the chip is prevented from being influenced by the error of the starting program B to be debugged, and the normal operation of the chip is ensured.
As shown in fig. 3B, when the startup mode of the chip is the online update mode, the startup method of the chip includes:
s11, acquiring a target request related to chip starting, wherein the target request comprises a starting program identifier to be selected and starting mode information.
And S12, in response to the fact that the starting mode of the chip is determined to be the online updating mode, updating the selected starting program identifier into the program identifier to be selected. That is, the variable Select flag may be assigned a value of B at this step to indicate that the selected startup procedure is startup procedure B.
And S13, updating the debugging identification so that the updated debugging identification indicates that debugging is not performed. I.e., the variable Debug _ flag may be assigned a value of 0 at this step to indicate that no debugging is to be performed.
And S14, acquiring the starting program B to be selected based on the debugging identifier and the selected starting program identifier. That is to say, when the debugging identifier indicates that no debugging is performed and the selected initiator identifier is updated to the initiator identifier to be selected, the initiator B to be selected is obtained based on the initiator identifier to be selected in the target request.
And S15, starting the chip by using the starting program B to be selected.
It can be seen that in the above flow, the embodiments of steps S12-S13 are similar to the above steps S2-S3 in fig. 3A, and can be implemented by using executable assignment statements for variables, for example, and the embodiments of steps S14-S15 are similar to the steps S4-S5 in fig. 3A. That is, when the chip is in the online update mode, the startup of the chip can be realized with the flow shown in fig. 3A, although the execution of steps S6-S10 shown in fig. 3A is not essential. Therefore, in an actual application scenario, the corresponding process can be completed by executing the same executable file capable of implementing the steps, and convenience can be improved without affecting normal work of the chip.
