A method of configuring hardware information through text

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for configuring hardware information through text, comprising the following steps: Step 1. In the product development stage, edit the hardware information according to the hardware configuration of the product, and the hardware information is edited and stored in a text file in INI format; step 2. In the product release stage, release the INI file containing hardware information as a part of the hardware design file; Step 3. In the production test stage, import the INI file first, and then conduct subsequent tests, and ensure that only in the production test stage to import the INI file; Step 4. In the software running stage, the hardware configuration information is obtained by parsing the INI file, and different hardware drivers are loaded or enter different branch processing processes according to the hardware configuration information. The present invention establishes a whole set of solutions from the product level, optimizes the entire product cycle, is simple and intuitive, can be configured with rich information, and realizes the separation of software and hardware.

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
