Serial port debugging tool and method

Abstract

The invention provides a serial port debugging tool and method. The serial port debugging tool comprises a serial port setting module, a serial port opening / closing selection module, an automatic debugging starting / stopping module, a first configuration module and an automatic loading module, wherein the first configuration module is used for storing data / instructions needed to be automatically executed; the automatic loading module is used for automatically inputting the data / instructions needed to be automatically executed in the first configuration module to a serial port; the instructions needed to be automatically executed are input to the serial port when the automatic debugging starting / stopping module is in a starting state, whether the data / instructions are executed or not is judged according to a condition needed to be judged, and the whole process is automatically executed without being operated by any person. By using the serial port debugging tool and method provided by the invention, the serial port setting step can be simplified, an intelligent instruction input function can be achieved, and data output by the serial port can be automatically detected, so that the automatic test requirement is met.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the automation application field of serial port instructions, in particular to a serial port debugging tool and method. 【Background technique】 [0002] In the embedded system development or maintenance process, corresponding performance debugging is required, and debugging the serial port is an important means to realize this process. In order to ensure that the serial ports work effectively, it is necessary to perform functional tests and corresponding debugging on each serial port. Usually, the target computer containing the serial port to be debugged is called the lower computer, and the corresponding host computer (PC) is called the upper computer. At present, the commonly used method for debugging the serial port is to directly use the general-purpose serial interactive software, such as the "Hyper Terminal" program provided in the Windows operating system. The specific method is to first connect the debugging serial po...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, using the HyperTerminal that comes with the Windows operating system is cumbersome to set up and operate.

[0004] In addition, due to frequent interactive operations during operation, relevant instructions must be input only when the serial port receives data, and one is sent back one by one, and relevant instructions must be manually input when sending data through the serial port, which is inefficient and not suitable for automation and Batch job requirements

[0005] Of course, there are other serial port debugging methods in the industry, such as adding certain hardware support and combining programming to realize serial port debugging. Although the degree of automation is improved, this method is costly and the program used is more complicated to implement. , the portability is not high, and there is no universality, so it has not been widely used

[0006] Therefore, the existing serial port debugging method needs to be improved and developed.
