Embodiment Construction

[0054] The single serial port expansion technology of the set-top box of the present invention adopts the expansion mode based on the software of the microprocessor, such as figure 1 As shown, it is a general typical circuit of a microprocessor, including a microprocessor 1, a clock generation module 2, a program configuration module 3, an input serial interface 4, and an external serial port device 5.

[0055]The input serial interface 4 is the serial interface of the set-top box, which refers to the serial interface of the set-top box in this embodiment. The external serial port device 5 refers to peripheral devices such as a microcomputer, a printer, and a liquid crystal display.

[0056] The microprocessor 1 includes a serial interface 12 and a standard IO port 14 .

[0057] The input is connected to the serial interface 12 of the microprocessor 1 by the external input serial interface 4, simulated by the microprocessor software, as the port arbitration processor of the m...

Abstract

The invention discloses a single-serial port expanding technology of a set-up box which is based on the expanding mode of the software of a microprocessor. The single-serial port expanding technology comprises: a system is initialized; then the microprocessor starts to judge whether an external serial port is short or not; if yes, then a factory testing procedure is carried out; if the testing procedure is passed, then a successful mark is output; if not, then a failure mark is output; after the mark is output, all the procedures are returned back to re-judge whether the external serial port is short or not; if not, then a normal working mode is carried out and a polling mode is used to judge whether data is sent out and send in or not, and sending or receiving is executed according to a judging result, thus finishing one turn of port communication. The single-serial port expanding technology of the set-up box has the advantages that the cost is lower; the core part is a microprocessor chip commonly used in the market; simultaneously, the interface is simple; a common IO port can be used to simulate; the application scheme is flexible; the added number of the serial ports basically do not need the cost on the hardware and only the software is needed to change.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the field of set-top boxes, in particular to a single serial port expansion technology of a set-top box. 【Background technique】 [0002] A set-top box (full English name is Set Top Box, referred to as STB) refers to an information device used to enhance or expand the functions of a TV. Because people usually put it on the TV, it is also called a set-top box or a top box. The current set-top boxes are divided into analog and digital, because the analog TV system is about to be eliminated, so the set-top boxes that people say now generally refer to digital set-top boxes. A digital TV set-top box is a conversion device that converts digital TV signals into analog signals, and can provide TV users with high-quality TV programs. Digital set-top boxes can support almost all broadcasting and interactive multimedia applications, including watching ordinary TV programs, digital encrypted TV programs, on-demand multimedia programs an...
