Problems solved by technology

Since embedded systems generally do not have a bootstrap program, system startup and program loading must be completed by the boot program. Therefore, the boot program is very critical in the embedded system. If there is a problem with the boot program, or the boot program loaded If there is a problem with the application, it may cause the entire system to be paralyzed, or even unrepairable

Example

[0063] Refer to Picture 1-1 , Shows a flowchart of the first embodiment of a method for implementing a boot program of an embedded system of the present invention, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0064] Step 101: Perform basic initialization of the embedded system environment;

[0065] In the preferred embodiment of the method embodiment of the present invention, the booting of the system is divided into three main steps: one is the basic initialization of the system; the second is the configuration and initialization of external hardware devices; the third is to include system files and application files in the The executable file inside is loaded into memory for execution. The basic initialization part of the system is implemented in assembly language, and the latter two steps are implemented in high-level language (such as C language).

[0066] Basic initialization includes setting up a vector jump table, setting up a user stack USER_STACK for executing subs...

[0095] Refer to Figure 1-2 , Shows a flowchart of the second embodiment of a method for implementing a boot program of an embedded system of the present invention, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0096] Step 201: Perform basic initialization of the embedded system environment;

[0097] Step 202: Start the U disk system and check whether there is a new startup parameter file; if yes, go to step 203; otherwise, go to step 204;

[0098] Step 203: Download a new startup parameter file from the U disk and save it to the startup parameter memory;

[0099] Step 204: Initialize the hardware device according to the startup parameters;

[0100] Step 205: Determine whether the target executable file needs to be loaded, if yes, go to step 206; otherwise, go to step 207;

[0101] Step 206: Download the executable file from the U disk;

[0102] Step 207: Check and detect the executable file that needs to be loaded and executed;

Abstract

The invention provides a realization method and device of an embedded system bootstrap program, and portable type electronic equipment. The method comprises the steps of carrying out foundation initialization to the embedded system environment; detecting whether boot parameters need to be updated; if so, acquiring new boot parameters from a boot parameter update interface and storing the new boot parameters into a boot parameter memory; carrying out initialization to hardware equipment according to the boot parameters; judging whether an object executable file needs to be loaded, if so, downloading the object executable file from a U disk; carrying out check and detection to the executable file which needs to be downloaded; and copying the executable file passing through the check and detection to the memory and executing the file, thus finishing the system bootstrap process. By configuring the boot parameters on site, the proposal of the invention leads the system to be capable of adapting to hardware equipment such as storage units, memories and the like of different types, and loads and runs the executable file after check and detection, thus avoiding the systemic breakdown caused by problems occurred in the executable file and improving the reliability of the system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of embedded systems, in particular to an implementation method, device and portable electronic equipment of an embedded system boot program. Background technique [0002] Embedded system is the minimum simplified system based on practical application. Compared with personal computer (PC, Personal Computer), most of the functions completed by embedded system are relatively single and fixed, and are widely used in industrial control and electronic equipment products. Wait. Since embedded systems generally do not have a bootstrap program, system startup and program loading must be completed by the boot program. Therefore, the boot program is very critical in the embedded system. If there is a problem with the boot program, or the boot program loaded If there is a problem with the application, it may cause the entire system to be paralyzed, or even irreparable. [0003] In addition, in the prior art, the boot program of...
