File content is: # input serial ports pattern
InputMode：SPP
# output serial ports pattern
OutputMode：SPP
Wherein, the working method of the capable appointment of OutputMode load module is written to this file in the fixing position of equipment by the flash disk mode (or other modes) of upgrading;
3, restart described device, beginning initiating hardware and operating system;
4, after os starting finishes, call the application program fcr.exe of acquiescence by automatic batch processing script;
5, fcr.exe at first reads the content in the lpmode.txt file, and the working method of judging the output parallel port that needs setting is SPP;
6, the fcr.exe application program sends the order of change mode of operation by the ioctrl function to the parallel port output driver program;
As: ioctrl (parin_fd, MODE_SET, MODE_SPP);
7, the parallel port output driver program is according to the command parameter of importing above, to the pattern of parallel port output hardware module interface is set and writes corresponding pattern.That suppose that hardware module selects for use is WinbondW83977EF, then its ECR (Extended Control Register, the address is base+402h) should be changed to 0x20, and then, this module can be with SPP pattern printer communication.As shown in Figure 6, from described device to the flow process of printer output print command and data be: still a byte is that unit exports, and is sent to printer with the SPP pattern from set-top box.
1, the fcr.exe application program was taken out a byte from handled data link table;
2, module is imported out by the write function in the parallel port of fcr.exe application program, writes out a byte to the parallel port output driver program; For example: write (lp_fd ， ﹠amp; Byte, 1);
3, the parallel port output driver program receives this byte, and is written in the data register of parallel port output hardware module;
4, output hardware module in parallel port is put into this byte on the data line of output port, and simultaneously, it is low that the strobe signal is set;
5, printer receives a byte, simultaneously, removes the busy signal.
In addition, for other two kinds of pattern EPP and ECP, just in that the stage is set is different.
For the EPP pattern, during being provided with of output mode, InputMode changes EPP into and gets final product.
For ecp mode, during being provided with of output mode, InputMode changes ECP into and gets final product.
