Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the efficient development aid environment for software for exchange by interfacing a target exchange with a work station having a file processing function, a file transmission reception function with the target exchange and a debugging function. CONSTITUTION:An LM file transferred to a memory 12 of the target exchange 1 is operated from a work station 2 via a central control unit control information transmission circuit 232 and file transmission reception circuits 233 and 133 is operated. Debugging is executed by using a program trace function of a program trace circuit 131 and a central control unit control function of a central control unit control circuit 132 to apply a patch to the LM file. The patched LM file is transferred to a memory 22 of the work station 2. Thus, the work station 2 can use the LM file transferred and patched for a job of inverse assembling or file compare.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a replacement software development support method [Prior Art] Conventionally, regarding replacement software development support, software files installed in a target exchanger are Software debugging was carried out on separate hardware from the debugging machine and the target exchange machine. Load module (hereinafter referred to as LM) files patched by Depack were handled by a filing machine via a medium such as a magnetic tape.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the support environment of the conventional exchange software development support method described above, the file creation machine and Depack machine are different hardware, so the file creation machine cannot directly handle the LM file patched by Depack. There is a drawback.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the replacement software development support system of the present invention, the target exchange is equipped with at least a program trace circuit, a central controller control circuit, and a file transmission/reception circuit, and the workstation is equipped with at least a trace data reception circuit, a central controller control information transmission circuit, and a file transmission/reception circuit. a transmitter/receiver circuit, and a connection between the circuit of the target exchange and the circuit of the workstation.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. Central control unit 11 and memory 1 of target exchange @1
2 and the target interface 13 are connected via the hub 101, and the central controller 2 of the workstation 2
1, memory 22, target interface 23, personal computer interface 24, floppy disk controller 25, hard disk controller 26, magnetic tape controller 27, GP-IP adapter 28, and R323.
The two 2C interfaces are connected via a bus 102, and the target interface 13 and target interface 23 are connected via a signal line 200.

Figure 2 shows target interface 1 of the embodiment shown in Figure 1.
3.23 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the computer. The target interface 13 is a central controller control circuit 132 connected to the bus 101 and a file transmitting/receiving circuit 1.
33 and a program trace circuit 131, the target interface 23 is a trace data receiving circuit 2.
31, a central controller control information transmitting circuit 232, and a file transmitting/receiving circuit 233.

The LM file transferred from the workstation 2 to the memory 12 of the target exchange 1 via the central controller control information transmission circuit 232 and the file transmission/reception circuit 233 and the file transmission/reception circuit 133 is operated, and the program trace circuit 131 By debugging using the program trace function of the LM and the central controller control function of the central controller control circuit 132, the LM
A patch is applied to the file. The patched LM file can be transferred from the lotus 101 to the memory 22 of the workstation 2 via the file transmitting/receiving circuit 133 and the file transmitting/receiving circuit 233 and also via the trace data receiving circuit 231. Therefore, workstation 2 uses the transferred patched LM
Files can be used for tasks such as disassembly and file conveyors.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has a connection between a target exchange and a workstation having a file creation function, a file transmission/reception function with the target exchange, and a tech hack function, so that files patched by debugging can be directly transferred to the workstation. This has the effect of providing an efficient replacement software development support environment.
