Description

Hardware platform convenient for system updating

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a storage quota manages technical field, especially relates to a make things convenient for hardware platform of system's renewal.

Background

Various types of software in the embedded industrial computer device play an important role, and the software comprises an operating system, bottom layer software, firmware of a programmable gate array (FPGA), firmware of an MCU and the like, wherein the contents have the requirements of replacement and upgrade at different times according to different requirements and improvement of functions, the process is very important for production and work safety, and in order to ensure the integrity and the safety of the upgrade process, technical developers and developers are required to carry out the process in person, so that the limited cost of the personnel is high, the process risk of updating and maintaining is high, the success rate is low, the personnel are scarce, and the efficiency is low.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

The to-be-solved technical problem of the utility model is to provide a make things convenient for hardware platform of system's renewal, can improve hardware platform firmware update's execution success rate.

In order to solve the technical problem, the utility model provides a make things convenient for hardware platform of system's renewal, the platform includes: the external storage interface is used for plugging an external storage, and a direct starting system and an automatic copying system are installed in the external storage; and the processor is connected to the external storage interface and completes the updating of the firmware program according to the direct starting system and the automatic copying system which are arranged in the external storage.

In some embodiments, further comprising: and the buzzer is connected to the processor and outputs a sound according to the updating state of the firmware program in the processor.

In some embodiments, further comprising: and the voice prompt device is connected to the processor and outputs voice prompt according to the update state of the firmware program in the processor.

In some embodiments, a processor comprises: MCU, CPU.

In some embodiments, the external memory comprises: USB, CF, TF.

In some embodiments, the processor is further configured to detect whether an external memory is plugged into the external memory interface.

After adopting such design, the utility model discloses following advantage has at least:

1. the operation is safe, the shell of the equipment does not need to be opened for internal wiring, and the potential working hazard to field equipment is avoided;

2. the operation is simple and convenient, after the external storage and installation, the upper motor shell runs a thinner tool, manual operation or code compiling is not needed, and only the states of the indicator light and the buzzer need to be observed;

3. the operation is reliable, and the updating task can be completed by hundreds on the premise that the updated equipment has complete functions.

Drawings

The foregoing is only an overview of the technical solutions of the present invention, and in order to make the technical means of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a data structure provided by the present invention.

Detailed Description

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it will be understood that they are presented herein only to illustrate and explain the present invention, and not to limit the present invention.

The utility model discloses a need not the interface operation, USB or SD card, the mode of outer plug-in memories such as TF card, install direct start-up system and automatic copy system on outer plug-in memory device, the application of copy firmware, this in-process controlgear's bee calling organ, external equipment such as pilot lamp makes correspondingly, light is bright constantly, bee calling organ rings, after whole process is successful, think about to do "accomplish success" suggestion with light scintillation and bee calling organ every second. The program controls the whole updating and verifying process, and ensures that the lamp light and the buzzer are successfully completed after the updating and verifying are successful. If the prompt of 'completion success' does not appear, the process is repeated until 'completion success' is reached.

The software and firmware updating and maintenance of the field equipment are main work contents of equipment field engineers, the part of work relates to the updating of a whole machine operating system, a bottom layer equipment driving program, an upper layer application program, the firmware of a programmable device, the firmware of a single chip microcomputer and other MCUs, various program and code thinning modes are provided, the most direct mode in the equipment which does not adopt the patent is that a host program is manually updated by using a display and a keyboard lamp man-machine interface, the programmable firmware, the MCU and the like open an equipment shell by using corresponding special data cables, the data cables are inserted into special positions and then written by special software of a portable computer. The above process requires high risk to personnel and poor operational reliability.

Referring to fig. 1, the convenient method of the present patent includes 2 parts:

1. updatable hardware platform

When a hardware system is designed, a bottom device driver, an upper application program, firmware of a programmable device, firmware of a MCU (microprogrammed control unit) and the like in the updated hardware system have the updating capability through a main CPU (central processing unit), and the main CPU updates different firmware contents through a special data line or a special protocol of a general data line.

2. External update data mechanism

The updated device has external interface for updating data, USB, CF, TF card interface, special data updating disc with scientific research started operation system, automatic running updating program after OS and new data file.

Updating procedure

The method comprises the steps that after the updated equipment is powered on, whether an external memory exists in an updated data interface is detected, if not, the equipment is normally started, if yes, the equipment is started from the external memory and then an updating program is automatically run, the successful updating can be indicated through a buzzer and an indicator light, if the updating process is failed, the feedback of the buzzer and the indicator light cannot be obtained, and the situation that the equipment is powered off and then restarted is required.

The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and not intended to limit the present invention in any way, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications, equivalent changes and modifications using the above-described technical content, all of which fall within the scope of the present invention.
