Description

Intelligent gateway expansion board hot plug detection system

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a plug card detects and discernment technical field, and more specifically the utility model relates to an intelligent gateway expansion board hot plug detecting system that says so.

Background

At present, when the intelligent gateway needs resource upgrade and function expansion, an expansion board needs to be inserted, the expansion board usually needs to be connected with the gateway body by means of a standard pcie x1 slot, and except three pins, namely GND, PRSNT1#, and PRSNT2#, interface signals of the other pins are generally self-defined. As shown in fig. 1, a pin PRSNT1# on a motherboard is grounded, a pin PRSNT2# is connected to an interface power supply, when the PCI Express card hot plug detection circuit is used, a gold finger on the PCI Express card is contacted with a corresponding pin on the motherboard, and the insertion state and validity of the PCI Express card are determined by a hot plug control logic.

The hot plug scheme of the existing intelligent gateway expansion board is based on the above standard PCIE hot plug detection circuit, and the hot plug detection principle based on the hot plug detection circuit is as follows: when no card is inserted, the hot plug detection signal is at a high level; and after the function expansion card is inserted, the hot plug detection signal is at a low level. The main control chip judges the insertion and extraction state of the function expansion card by detecting the level change of the hot plug detection signal, and then performs subsequent control.

The existing hot plug detection circuit for the intelligent gateway extension board is specifically shown in fig. 2, a PRSNT2# pin on the intelligent gateway extension board connector is connected with a GPIO pin of a main control chip for transmitting a hot plug detection signal, and the GPIO pin of the main control chip is further connected with a pull-up resistor. Meanwhile, the pin of the PRSNT1# on the main board side is suspended, and the gold finger of the card side corresponding to the PRSNT2# is directly grounded. The advantage of this is that it can be ensured that when a standard PCIE card is erroneously inserted into an intelligent gateway expansion slot, it is not recognized by the gateway expansion board connector (the gateway expansion board connector cannot recognize that a card is inserted). However, the scheme also has the following defects:

1. because only the pin PRSNT2# on the pcie x1 slot side is used for plug and pull detection, it cannot be ensured whether the PRSNT1# side is completely inserted. Therefore, the effect of plugging and unplugging detection is inevitably affected (this is also the reason why the detection pins are arranged on the two sides of the slot in the PCIE standard).

2. The function expansion cards corresponding to the intelligent gateway expansion board are divided into different types according to the communication interface types. The current hot plug design can only ensure the detection of the plug of the function expansion card, and the type of the function expansion card can only be identified by software after power-on, thereby realizing more complex realization.

Therefore, how to provide an intelligent gateway expansion board hot plug detection system with higher detection reliability and more complete functions is a problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

On the one hand, refer to fig. 3, the embodiment of the utility model discloses an intelligent gateway expansion board hot plug detecting system, this system includes: the expansion board connector 2, the function expansion board 1 and the main control chip 3;

the detection pin PRSNT1# at one end of the extension board connector 2 is electrically connected with the GPIO2 pin and the ADC pin of the main control chip 3 respectively, and the GPIO2 pin and the ADC pin of the main control chip 3 are also connected with a resistor R₁The detection pin PRSNT2# at the other end of the extension board connector 2 is electrically connected with the GPIO1 pin of the main control chip 3, and the GPIO1 pin of the main control chip 3 is also connected with the ground through a pull-up resistor R₃Is electrically connected with an interface power supply;

two gold fingers corresponding to the detection pin PRSNT1# and the detection pin PRSNT2# on the function expansion board 1 pass through a resistor R₂Electrical connection, different types of internal resistance R of the function expansion board 1₂Are different.

In particular, the resistance R₃Is at least the resistance R₂10 times the resistance value of (a). To ensure that the GPIO1 pin can be based on a pull-up resistor R₃And a resistor R connected in series in the function expansion card₂The switching-in state of the GPIO1 pin is obviously distinguished from the input voltage, so that the high-low state of the input level is accurately judged by a pull-up resistor R₃Is much larger than the resistance R₂The resistance value of (c).

Specifically, the GPIO2 pin of the main control chip 3 is also connected to a pull-down resistor R₄And (6) electrically connecting. Pull-down resistor R₄One device is not necessarily provided. Only has the resistor R₄Can be at R₁Under the condition of fixed resistance value, give R₄And the resistance value selection range is wider, so that more types of function expansion cards can be conveniently adapted and distinguished.

In particular, in order to ensure that the function expansion board 1 is insertedAnd the GPIO2 pin input is low. And then can more accurate realization whether the card that inserts at present is the judgement of function extension card, resistance R₁、R₂And R₄The following relationship needs to be satisfied:

Referring to fig. 4, the process of implementing hot plug detection by using the above hot plug detection system for an intelligent gateway expansion board is as follows:

card insertion detection: presetting a GPIO1 pin of a main control chip as input low level interruption, configuring a GPIO2 pin as output low level, setting an ADC pin to be disabled, and judging whether a card is inserted into the expansion board connector according to the input level state of the GPIO1 pin;

in a card-to-be-inserted state, a GPIO1 pin is set to be input and interrupted by a falling edge (low level); the GPIO2 pin is configured to output a low level; the ADC pin is not enabled. Because of the pull-up resistor R₃Is much larger than the resistance R₂The resistance value of GPIO1 pin input is high when no card is inserted; once a card is inserted, the GPIO1 pin input goes low, and an interrupt is generated to notify the main control chip.

For example: r₃1M Ω, R in a standard function expansion card₂100K Ω. Then the GPIO1 pin input voltage is V_io11, i.e. 0.09V_ioThe low level can be accurately judged and the interrupt is triggered.

And (3) misplug detection: when the card is judged to be inserted into the expansion board connector, setting the GPIO2 pin as input, configuring the GPIO1 pin to output high level, and judging whether the card inserted into the expansion board connector is a function expansion board or not according to the level state input by the GPIO2 pin;

when the main control chip judges that a card is inserted, the GPIO2 pin is configured as input, and the internal power is pulled downResistance R₄Enabling; the GPIO1 pin is then configured to output a high level. Detecting the state of a standard PCIE card, determining whether the standard PCIE card is the standard PCIE card, specifically, if the standard PCIE card is inserted, because the detection pin PRSNT1# and the detection pin PRSNT2# correspond to the card side golden finger which is directly short-circuited, the pin input of the GPIO2 is high level V_io. If the function expansion board matched with the intelligent gateway is inserted, the series resistance R between the detection pin PRSNT1# and the card side golden finger corresponding to the detection pin PRSNT2#, is detected₂. The GPIO2 pin input voltage is:

by appropriate selection of R₁、R₂Due to the maximum voltage V of the main control chip in the intelligent gateway_ilmax＝0.3V_ioTherefore, it is required to

When applied to other platforms, according to V_ilmaxThe value range can vary. Through the resistance value setting, the GPIO2 pin input can be ensured to be at a low level. Thus, whether the inserted PCIE card is a standard PCIE card can be judged. If the PCIE card is the standard PCIE card, the power is not supplied to the card, and the abnormity is reported.

For example: some standard function expansion board R₂When 100K Ω, 47K Ω, and 33K Ω, R4 and R1 are used, the input voltage of the GPIO2 pin is:

due to 0.1624V_ioV smaller than chip_ilmax(0.3V_io) The input may be judged to be low, and it is confirmed that the card is a recognizable standard function expansion card. If the card is a standard PCIE card, the input voltage of the GPIO2 pin is V_ioAnd is high.

And (3) type detection: when the card inserted into the expansion board connector is judged to be a function expansion board, enabling an ADC pin, measuring the voltage of a detection pin PRSNT1#, inquiring the model of the corresponding function expansion board from a preset voltage value and board card model correspondence table according to the voltage of the detection pin PRSNT1#, supplying power to the expansion board connector after inquiring the model of the corresponding function expansion board, and configuring the function expansion board;

after the main control chip judges that the inserted function expansion board matched with the intelligent gateway enters a function expansion card type detection state, the GPIO2 pin is changed into a pin without internal pull-down, an ADC pin is enabled, the voltage of a detection pin PRSNT1# is measured, and the calculation formula of the voltage is as follows:

then, the main control chip queries a preset 'voltage value-board card model' corresponding table in the system according to the read voltage value, and can judge what type of function expansion board is, and supply power and configure the function expansion board. If the voltage value does not conform to any type in the table at this stage, the function expansion board in the system is judged not to be, the power is not supplied to the function expansion board, and meanwhile, the abnormity is reported. The structure of the voltage value-board model correspondence table is substantially as shown in the following table 1:

TABLE 1 Voltage value-Board card model number correspondence table

Card type	GPIO2 pin voltage value	Parameter 1: supply voltage	Parameter	2
					1#	0.24V_io～0.26V_io	3.3V	…
2#	0.17V_io～0.19V_io	5V	…
				3#	…	…	…
…	…	…	…

For example: standard function expansion board 1# inner R₂100K Ω, R in standard function expansion board # 2₂150K Ω. At this stage, the input voltage of the GPIO2 pin when the 1# card is inserted is:

the input voltage of the GPIO2 pin when the 2# card is inserted is as follows:

and then the main control chip inquires a preset voltage value-board model corresponding table in the system according to the read voltage value, and the two inserted boards can be identified to be 1# and 2# respectively.

Card pulling detection: configuring a GPIO1 pin as an input high level interrupt, configuring a GPIO2 pin as an output low level, closing an ADC pin, and judging whether the function expansion board is pulled out or not according to the level state of the GPIO1 pin;

after the function expansion card is normally configured, the function expansion card enters a state to be pulled out, and a GPIO1 pin is configured to be input and interrupted in a rising edge (high level); the GPIO2 pin is configured to output low, turning off the ADC pin. The system waits for the function expansion card to be pulled out and interrupted.

And (3) state recovery: after the function expansion board is pulled out, the expansion board connector is powered off, and the configuration state of the pins in the step of detecting the plug-in card is recovered.

When the GPIO1 pin detects a high-level interrupt, the function expansion card is proved to be pulled out. The mainboard cuts off the power of the expansion board connector and restores the related detection circuit of the intelligent gateway expansion board to the state of the card to be inserted.

The above process can be visualized by the following table 2:

TABLE 2 Hot-swap status recording Table

In the present embodiment, the pull-down resistor R₄And is not required. Only having pull-down resistor R₄Can be at the resistance R₁Under the condition of fixed resistance value, the pull-down resistor R is supplied₄And the resistance value selection range is wider, so that the function expansion cards of more types can be conveniently distinguished.

In addition, the GPIO function and the ADC function in part of the main control chip can be multiplexed on the same pin, so that the GPIO2 function and the ADC function can be switched through software.

To sum up, the embodiment of the utility model discloses intelligent gateway function expansion board hot plug detecting system compares with prior art, has following advantage:

1. the system uses two detection pins PRSNT1# and PRSNT2# at two ends of an expansion board connector to enhance the reliability of hot plug detection;

2. two detection pins PRSNT1# and PRSNT2# of the expansion board connector are respectively connected to a GPIO2 pin and a GPIO1 pin of the main control chip (wherein the GPIO2 pin is internally provided with a matched pull-down resistor R₄). The hot plug detection of the function expansion board and the function of preventing the false detection of a standard PCIE card are realized through the interaction between the two GPIO pins;

3. the detection signal of the detection pin PRSNT1# at one end of the expansion board connector is simultaneously accessed to one ADC input pin of the main control chip. In the function expansion board, a series resistor R is connected between two detection pins₂. After the function expansion board is inserted and detected, an ADC pin on the main control chip, two GPIO pins for detection, a pull-down resistor R1 on the main control chip and a series resistor R2 on the function expansion board form a voltage detection circuit. Due to different types of function expansion in-board series resistors R₂The voltage values detected by the ADC pins are different. Through the voltage value, the main control chip can judge the type of the function expansion board under the condition that the function expansion board is not electrified, and directly performs corresponding configuration, so that the detection efficiency and the accuracy are improved.
