Embodiment
The technical specification that the present invention refers to has VXIbus Specification VXI-1 2.0 (IEEEStd 1155) and VMEbus Standard IEC821.
Further describe below in conjunction with the configurable VXI module composition of function shown in Figure 2.
VXI module capable of function reconfiguration shown in Figure 2, comprise: the VXI interface, the logical address of VXI interface is provided with the unit, VXI interface connector and 4 functional unit buckles, on each functional unit buckle function corresponding unit component and connector are set, described functional unit device is connected with the VXI interface by connector, each functional unit device is furnished with independently modular instrument drivers, the logical address that is connected with the VXI interface is provided with the unit can be logical address of each functional unit cell configuration, and the VXI interface links to each other with VXI System Backplane bus by the VXI interface connector.
Fig. 2 scheme a single groove C size (realize nearly 4 VXI function elements in the mode of buckle on 340 * 233.35mm) the VXI module carrier veneer, promptly a module slot bit stealing 4 logical addresses.VXI module carrier veneer provides the interface resource that is simple and easy to usefulness for each buckle.Each device has independently modular instrument drivers, and this brings great convenience for the functional configuration of system integration software and hardware.
Such as, in certain system integration task, need provide test resources such as E1 (primary group), HDLC (high speed data link), E3 (tertiary group), mailbox for UUT (Unit under Test).Do not have on the single module market of these four kinds of functions and can provide simultaneously, the words of the single module of oneself exploitation are special-purpose again, not necessarily use all functions in the other system integration servers, perhaps only use one of them functional resources.If buy ready-made module when doing the system integration, realize these test function resources with several VXI modules possibly, increased system cost again.
If above some test resources are made buckle form of the present invention, both taken system minimum groove position, improve VXI functions of modules configuration flexibility (the buckle resource can be used in the system of any needs) again, simultaneity factor, Development of Module degree of progress speed reduce the system synthesis cost.
On VXI module shown in Figure 2, for each functional unit device be the function buckle give one independently the static logic address switch be provided with.Adopt highly dense bilateral connector to be connected between buckle and the VXI interface.The addressing space that 4 function buckles are mapped to vxi bus is the VXIA16/A24 addressing system.In fact VXI module shown in Figure 2 is made up of general module carrier and buckle two parts.
Module carrier VXI interface except finish the VMEbus bus timing to memory read/write sequential conversion, provide 4 independently ROAK (Release on Acknowledge) interrupter realize the interrupt function of 4 buckles, all VXI interface configuration registers (removing the type of device register) of 4 buckles also are provided.
It is as follows that VXI module carrier veneer specifically offers the interface resource of each buckle:
