Method and device for achieving optical transport network (OTN) series chip software kit framework

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for achieving an optical transport network (OTN) series chip software kit framework and relates to the field of software development. The method comprises the steps of refining register types of a module into header files arranged according to an order of a warning read-only type, a state read-only type, a counting read-only type, a configuration read-write type and an indirect addressing read-write type, enabling every register to form a correlated split domain according to the G.709 specification, establishing classified software configuration file lists and corresponding function marks, and forming a unified operation interface; obtaining a reused abstract structure according to the header files, and performing instantiation; establishing a corresponding mapping path linked list according to a business mapping path of an OTN chip, and enabling nodes in the mapping linked list to point to the module of the mapping path one by one. According to the method and device for achieving the OTN series chip software kit framework, unified operation of the module interface, software development kit (SDK) reuse of identical or similar modules and a mapping structure of OTN series chips based on module reuse can be provided, and a simple and convenient software framework base is provided for secondary application and development.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of software development, in particular to a method and device for realizing the software toolkit architecture of OTN (Optical Transport Network, Optical Transport Network) series chips. Background technique [0002] Usually, the SDK (Software Development Kit, software development kit) released along with the chip is to facilitate secondary development by software engineers, so that chip-based application systems can be quickly built, eliminating the need to write the underlying code of the hardware. However, with the increase of chip complexity and the increase of associated hardware modules, the programming interface based on registers or independent hardware modules provided by the conventional SDK makes it extremely difficult to re-develop the application of related modules. Complex chips with many associated modules The secondary application development of the same series of chips has also become extremely...

Problems solved by technology

However, with the increase of chip complexity and the increase of associated hardware modules, the programming interface based on registers or independent hardware modules provided by the conventional SDK makes it extremely difficult to re-develop the application of related modules. Complex chips with many associated modules The secondary application development of the same series of chips has also become extremely difficult, and the similarities and differences of the operating interfaces of the modules also increase the complexity of the application, and the non-reusability of the SDK of the same or similar hardware modules of the same series of chips not only increases the task load of the underlying development, but also lead to poor portability

The above shortcomings are particularly evident in OTN series chips, mainly because there are many related hardware modules in the mapping structure, and the same or similar hardware modules are multiplexed in a large number in the mapping structure of the same chip or series of chips
