With regard to existing computer development trend, computer system 10 all has the ability that connects a plurality of external devices simultaneously usually: also be provided with a plurality of first links (drawing two among Fig. 1 as representative) 16A, 16B on the external port 14E: each first link is corresponding to an external device.As shown in fig. 1, the first external device 20A is connected in main frame 11 by the first link 16A; The second external device 20B then is connected in main frame 11 by the first link 16B.Be example promptly below, the structure and the operation situation of known external device is described with the first external device 20A.Corresponding to the first Port 16A, also be provided with the second Port 18A on the first external device 20A.In addition, also be provided with transmission interface control device 22, driving circuit 24B, nonvolatile storer 26B and core module 29 among the first external device 20A.Then be provided with bridgt circuit 24A and another non-volatility memorizer 26A in the transmission interface control device 22.Core module 29 is used for the function of the actual execution first external device 20A.For instance, if the first external device 20A is an external connected hand disk, then core module 29 is exactly a magnetic disc itself: if the first external device 20A is an external optical disk drive, then 29 of core modules include the data read head and drive motor of discs rotation or the like; If the first external device 20A is the circumscribed storage card, then 29 of core modules are flash memories.Driving circuit 24B then is used for controlling the running of core module 29.The storer 26B that is connected in driving circuit 24B then is used for storing the device configuration data 28B of the first external device 20A, just configuration (configuration) data of core module 29 itself.For instance, if the first external device 20A is a CD player, device configuration data 28B can comprise and main frame directmemoryaccess (DMA, Direct Memory Access) relevant item:, then install configuration data 28B and also can comprise capacity as external connected hand disk, magnetic post (cylinder), magnetic region (sector) or the like necessary related data and operating parameter in addition if the first external device 20A is external connected hand disk.Main frame 11 will obtain these data, could be correctly by transmission interface control device control external device.
In order to make main frame 11 can be connected in the external device of variety classes, function flexibly, the information industry can be worked out unified external port specification, for example is USB (USB (universal serial bus)) specification (hereinafter referred to as first form).Yet the driving circuit 24B of external device and core module 29 will could be controlled (hereinafter referred to as second form) with the instruction of another kind of specification.
For instance, if the first external device 20A is an external connected hand disk, be with its driving circuit of ATA (AT Attachment) instruction control; If the first external device 20A is an external optical disk drive, then will be with its driving circuit of ATAPI (ATAPacket Interface) instruction control.Because the document signal of first form, second form not only has different data structures, also has different characteristic electron (for example characteristic such as pulse, voltage), can control the first external device 20A smoothly by external port 14E in order to make main frame 11, be provided with bridgt circuit 24A among the first external device 20A, be used for changing external port 14E and the driving circuit 24B signal of different size between the two.Bridgt circuit 24A is provided with the first port 25A and the second port 25B, can be accepted data, the instruction of first form (as the USB specification) by the first port 25A, and is converted to data, the form of second form (as ATA or ATAPI specification), is exported by the second port 25B; Also can receive the second form data by the second port 25B transfers the first form data to and is exported by the first port 25A.That is to say that when main frame 11 will be controlled the first external device 20A, main frame 11 can transfer to the first external device 20A with steering order with the signal S1 that meets first form (as the USB specification) by external port 14E.Bridgt circuit 24A among the first external device 20A analyzes the steering order among the first form signal S1, accordingly steering order is transferred to driving circuit 24B with second form by the second port 25B again: driving circuit 24B just can control core module 29 and make the action of corresponding steering order (as reading data).On the other hand, core module 29 and driving circuit 24B will be back to the data of main frame 11, then transfer to the second port 25B of bridgt circuit 24A equally with second form, the signal that is converted into first form by bridgt circuit 24A is exported by the first port 25A, is back to the external port 14E of main frame 11 again via the second link 18A, the first link 16A.So, main frame 11 just can pass through transmission interface control device 22, exchange instruction, data smoothly.
Except the work of above-mentioned conversion signal specification, also stored transmission interface data 28A in the transmission interface control device 22 with nonvolatile storer 26A, it includes the exclusive identification data of bridgt circuit 24 (as manufacturer ID Vendor Identity, product ID Product Identity, the title Manufacture of manufacturer, product serial number Serial Number or the like).As previously mentioned, present main frame can both connect a plurality of external devices simultaneously, and the exclusive transmission interface data of bridgt circuit in each external device is used for identifying uniquely each corresponding external device exactly, so that main frame can be controlled a plurality of external devices simultaneously by external port.In other words, when main frame will transmit a certain instruction to a certain specific external device, can specify the exclusive transmission interface data of this specific external device via external port, make this instruction only can receive, can not disturb other external devices that are connected in external port mistakenly by this specific external device.
In gross, when main frame 11 came into operation (for example start), main frame 11 can be searched the external device that is connected in external port 14E.If there is external device to be connected in external port 14E (as the first external device 20A, 20B are arranged among Fig. 1), main frame 11 can the corresponding exclusive transmission interface data of each the first external device 20A, 20B transmission of uniform requirement be given main frame.With the first known external device 20A is example, in known transmission interface control device 22, receive the requirement of main frame 11 as bridgt circuit 24A after, bridgt circuit 24A can read transmission interface data 28A among the storer 26A by transmission interface control device 22, is back to main frame 11 by bridgt circuit 24A.After main frame 11 receives the transmission interface data of each external device passback, could be in the mode of given transmission interface data, normally with each external device exchange instruction, data.Then, when main frame 11 will be controlled each external device, also can require the device configuration data of each external device to external device.Be example with the first external device 20A again, when bridgt circuit 24A receives requiring of 11 pairs of devices of main frame configuration data, bridgt circuit 24A can transfer to driving circuit 24B with second form (ATA or ATAPI specification in this way) " device identification " (identify drive) instruction, driving circuit 24B just can read the device configuration data 28B among the storer 26B, be back to bridgt circuit 24A, will install configuration data 28B by bridgt circuit 24A with the first form signal again and be back to main frame 11.After main frame 11 gets the auto levelizer configuration data, just can handle the running of the first external device 20A with suitable parameter and instruction control driving circuit 24B according to the device configuration data.
The shortcoming of above-mentioned known technology is used for storer 26A also will being set in the transmission interface control device 22 in addition storing transmission interface data 28A the storer 26B of storage device configuration data 28B except driving circuit 24B exactly.Relating to parameters when device configuration data 28B and first external device 20A running, transmission interface data 28A is then relevant with the control of the first external device 20A and 11 transmission interfaces of main frame, and these two data all will store in nonvolatile mode.And will store above-mentioned two kinds of data respectively with two nonvolatile storer 26A, 26B in the known technology.Nonvolatile storer must will use ROM (read-only memory) (as EEPROM, electrically erasable programmable read-onlymemory) or flash memory (flash memory); Compare with general logical circuit or volatile storage, the structure of these storeies is special, have special peripheral circuit to cooperate, and cost is higher.This makes that also the transmission interface control device cost of known external device is higher, and is also comparatively complicated on the operative configuration.
