Accompanying drawing 1 is to use CF to stick into row and embeds the process flow diagram that device operating system upgrades automatically.
Preferred forms of the present invention
Below, be that the embedded device of operating system is an example with WINCE300 with a in the Legend computer series, illustrate that use CF card of the present invention upgrades the method that embeds device operating system automatically.It is pointed out that the computer equipment that is adopted is not limited to the computer of association series when realizing described method of the present invention.But, no matter adopt the computer of which kind of series, realize technical solutions according to the invention, on hardware, all require embedding equipment to have the CF card reader, or other similar movable storage devices.Need to prove, CF (Compact Flash) card be a kind of at present embed the movable storage device that apparatus field is widely used (for example in the association series computer, in some PDA equipment, the CF card reader all is equipped with), its capacity can be 8M, 32M or the like, can hold embedded OS down usually.
Aspect software, mainly contain three parts and form:
(1) zone bit enquiry module.The zone bit enquiry module is loaded in the startup module of system when customizing Embedded Operating System as one section program.In each start-up course, this section program all will be performed, and whether its function exists the zone bit file for detecting on the CF card, if exist then the refresh routine that starts the operating system if there is no just continues to start the operating system;
(2) zone bit file.Sign asks that file itself there is no in all senses, its role is to allow the zone bit enquiry module judge whether the refresh routine that starts the operating system.If in this document existence and the CF card, the refresh routine of then representing to start the operating system upgrades operating system, otherwise quite different;
(3) operating system update program.The effect of this program is that the old operating system file in the embedding equipment is replaced with the new operating system file that leaves in the CF card, thereby realizes the renewal of operating system.
Wherein, zone bit enquiry module, operating system update program embed the employed different Embedded Operating Systems of equipment according to difference and have different concrete forms, but its function is identical.
With reference to accompanying drawing, accompanying drawing 1 is to use CF to stick into row and embeds the process flow diagram that device operating system upgrades automatically, when using the CF card to upgrade automatically embedding device operating system, needs to carry out following operation steps:

(2) the CF card is inserted in the CF card reader of embedding equipment, then start;
(3) in start-up course, operating system can automatically perform zone bit file polling program, and this program can inquire about whether exist the zone bit file on the CF card.Start-up course at the equipment of embedding, usually allow OEM (original device producer) to carry out some specific operations, this operating system update scheme has just made full use of this characteristic, after operating system nucleus, file system, device management module, the startup of graphical interfaces module are finished, carry out by the self-defining start-up routine of OEM (original device producer).At first inquire about on the CF card whether exist the zone bit file behind this start-up routine by file system api (application programming interfaces), the existence of zone bit file means that " notice " operating system need carry out the renewal operation of operating system in start-up course, and the file refresh routine that starts the operating system; If there is no, then only need proceed existing normal start-up operation.And the process of " notice " is actually in start-up course, and whether operating system is deposited and realized by calling zone bit file on file system api (for example the FindFirstFile () under the Windows Ce etc.) the inquiry CF card;
(4) after the operating system file refresh routine starts, replace old operating system file in the embedding equipment with using new operating system file on the CF card.Concrete renewal process is to finish by the read-write operation function in the file system api, and the operating system file that at first uses the deleted file function to start is at present deleted; Then, open the new operating system file that is kept on the CF card, and it is read in internal memory; At last, the operating system file in the internal memory is saved to the corresponding position that is used for preserving operating system file in the External memory equipment (as DOC, hard disk etc.).When embedding equipment started once more, start-up system just can guide upgraded back embedding device operating system, thereby has realized the renewal of operating system;
In actual applications, accuracy for the file that guarantees to be read into internal memory after read-in process is finished, also needs the file that reads in is carried out verification and comparison, if verification is with identical then show and upgrade successfully, if verification is with different then need to carry out again copy function.
(5) after renewal work was finished, the operating system file refresh routine will point out the user to extract the CF card again, restarts embedding equipment afterwards.
(6) start new operating system.
Be understood that, compare with update method in the past, the method of use CF card automatic updating embedded device operating system of the present invention does not need embedding equipment to be connected, not need hardware is dismantled with any other equipment, and only be that CF card with upgrading usefulness inserts into embedding equipment, have and avoid embedding device hardware damage, simplify device upgrade flow process and the higher characteristics such as update efficiency of embedding.Being in the example process of developing, testing with the association series computer, use this kind method that the operating system of 500 finished products is upgraded, obtained good effect.
