Description

씨디-롬(CD-ROM)드라이브의 펌웨어(Firmware)버전 확인방법.How to check the firmware version of your CD-ROM drive.

본 발명은 씨디-롬(CD-ROM)드라이브의 펌웨어(Firmware) 버전 확인방법에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 아타피(ATAPI) 규격의 인콰이어리(INQUIRY)명령을 인가하여 컴퓨터에 장착된 씨디-롬(CD-ROM) 드라이브의 펌웨어(Firmware)버전을 확인하기 위한 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for checking a firmware version of a CD-ROM drive. More particularly, the present invention relates to a CD-ROM installed in a computer by applying an ATQUI standard INQUIRY command. (CD-ROM) This is a method for checking the firmware version of a drive.

펌웨어(Firmware)는 컴퓨터 시스템에서 하드웨어와 소프트웨어의 경계에 해당하는 기술영역으로 그 대표적인 예로는 하드웨어 기능의 일부를 마이크로프로그램화하여 고정기억장치에 수용함으로써 실행속도를 희생하더라도 기능의 범용성을 늘리고 가격의 저렴화를 도모하기 위한 방법이다.Firmware is a technical area that corresponds to the boundary between hardware and software in computer systems. A typical example is that micro-programming some of the hardware functions to accommodate them in a fixed memory device to increase the versatility of the function even at the expense of execution speed. It is a method for reducing the cost.

종래의 경우, 씨디-롬 드라이브에 장착된 롬의 펌웨어 버전을 확인하기 위해서는 호스트 컴퓨터의 전원을 리셋시키고 부팅시, 이 드라이브의 버전을 확인하는 방법을 이용한다.In the conventional case, in order to check the firmware version of a ROM installed in the CD-ROM drive, a method of resetting the power supply of the host computer and checking the version of the drive at boot time is used.

그러나 이 방법으로 펌웨어의 버전을 확인하는 경우, 호스트 컴퓨터의 부팅시간이 있기 때문에 생산라인의 검사부분에서 많은 지연이 발생함으로써 전체적인 생산라인의 지연이 발생하므로 생산성저하의 요인이 초래된다.However, when checking the firmware version by this method, there is a lot of delay in the inspection part of the production line because there is a boot time of the host computer, the overall production line delay occurs, which causes a decrease in productivity.

본 발명은 상술한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 창출된 것으로서, 호스트 컴퓨터의 부팅을 실시하지 않고, 아타피(ATAPI)규격의 인콰이어리(INQUIRY) 명령을 인가하여 컴퓨터에 장착된 씨디-롬(CD-ROM) 드라이브의 펌웨어(Firmware) 버전을 확인하는 방법을 제공하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다.The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and does not boot the host computer, and applies an ATQUIRY INQUIRY command to a CD-ROM mounted in the computer. Its purpose is to provide a way to check the firmware version of a drive.

도 1은 본 발명에 따른 씨디-롬(CD-ROM) 드라이브의 펌웨어(Firmware) 버전을 확인하기 위한 방법을 설명하기 위한 도면이다.1 is a view for explaining a method for checking a firmware version of a CD-ROM drive according to the present invention.

상기의 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명에 따른 호스트 컴퓨터에 장착된 아타피 씨디-롬 드라이브의 펌웨어 버전을 확인하는 방법은A method for checking the firmware version of the ATP CD-ROM drive mounted on the host computer according to the present invention for achieving the above object is

상기 호스트 컴퓨터의 포트를 통해 인콰이어리(INQUIRY) 명령을 인가하는 단계; 상기 명령에 따라 장착된 씨디-롬 드라이브의 펨웨어 버전을 디스플레이하는 단계; 및 상기 디스플레이된 버전이 올바른지를 판단하는 단계를 포함하는 것이 바람직하다.Issuing an INQUIRY command through a port of the host computer; Displaying a firmware version of a mounted CD-ROM drive according to the command; And determining whether the displayed version is correct.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명을 보다 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described the present invention in more detail.

도 1은 본 발명에 따른 씨디-롬(CD-ROM) 드라이브의 펌웨어(Firmware) 버전을 확인하는 방법을 설명하기 위한 도면이다.1 is a view for explaining a method of checking the firmware (Firmware) version of the CD-ROM drive according to the present invention.

먼저, 호스트 컴퓨터에 CD-ROM 드라이브를 장착한다.(10 단계)First, insert the CD-ROM drive into the host computer (step 10).

CD-ROM드라이브가 장착된 호스트 컴퓨터의 포트를 통해 아타피 인콰이어리 명령을 인가한다.(12 단계)The ATP Inquiry command is issued through the port of the host computer equipped with the CD-ROM drive.

인가된 명령에 의해 CD-ROM 드라이브의 펌웨어 버전과 종류를 디스플레이한다.(14 단계)The firmware version and type of the CD-ROM drive are displayed by an authorized command (step 14).

14 단계로부터 디스플레이된 버전이 올바른지를 확인한다.(16 단계)Check that the displayed version is correct from step 14 (step 16).

16 단계의 확인결과, 펌웨어의 버전이 올바르지 않으면, 올바른 버전의 새로운 롬으로 교체한다.(18 단계)If the firmware version is not correct as a result of step 16, replace it with a new ROM of the correct version.

상술한 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 씨디-롬 드라이브의 펌웨어 버전을 확인하는 방법에 의하면, 인콰이어리 명령을 인가하여 펌웨어 버전을 확인하기 때문에 빠른 시간 내에 잘못 꽂혀진 롬을 구별할 수 있어, 생산성 향상의 효과를 갖는다.As described above, according to the method of confirming the firmware version of the CD-ROM drive according to the present invention, since the firmware version is confirmed by applying an inquiry command, ROMs which are incorrectly inserted can be distinguished in a short time, thereby improving productivity.
