Method for configuring hardware information through text

Abstract

The invention provides a method for configuring hardware information through a text. The method includes the following steps that 1, at the development stage of a product, the hardware information isedited according to the hardware configuration condition of the product, and the hardware information is edited and stored in a text file of an INI format; 2, at the issuing stage of the product, theINI file stored with the hardware information is issued as a constituent part of a hardware design file; 3, at the stage of production testing, the INI file is imported at first, then follow-up testing is performed, and it is ensured that the INI file can not be imported unless the product enters the stage of production testing; 4, at the running stage of software, the INI file is analyzed to obtain the hardware configuration information, and according to the hardware configuration information, different hardware drivers are loaded or different branched processing steps are executed. From theheight of the product, a complete set of solutions are established, the whole period of the product is optimized, conciseness and visualization are realized, the rich information can be configured, and software and hardware separation is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for configuring hardware information through text. Background technique [0002] In the embedded field, a product model may have multiple hardware configurations. Take the communication module carried by the product as an example, it may be wired or wireless, wired is divided into LAN, MODERM, etc., wireless is divided into Bluetooth, WLAN, 2G, etc., 2G is divided into GSM and CDMA. The supplier of the GSM module may be Huawei. Move away and so on. Different customers will have different needs, and the product will be iterated normally, which will produce a large number of hardware combinations. Each combination needs to correspond to different part numbers in production, and different versions need to be maintained in software to adapt match them. A large number of software versions not only bring pressure to software development and maintenance, but also bring troubles to production and after-sales. [0003] The ...

Problems solved by technology

First, the information that can be recorded is too limited, and only the presence or absence of the corresponding hardware can be recorded.

Second, it is not direct enough. When querying, you must first convert the bitmap into the content of the hardware information. When configuring, you must first convert the hardware information into a bitmap.

[0009] The above solutions are only considered from the perspective of hardware or software, and the effect that can be achieved is relatively limited
