Problems solved by technology

[0003] Even if the operating program instructions required for the application are not particularly extensive, the memory provided to store these instructions within the circuit arrangement represents an additional complexity and cost factor
In addition, procedures embedded in the circuit arrangement have the disadvantage that updating or changing procedure instructions requires direct intervention within the circuit arrangement

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The circuit arrangement 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a semiconductor used in a telephone, which transmits voice signals via a data transmission network 7 . For this purpose, this circuit arrangement 1 for implementing voice over IP has interfaces for connecting the required external components, such as a telephone 8, a telephone receiver 9, a loudspeaker 10 and a microphone 11, and provides the general characteristics of the performance for a telephone .

[0015] The processor unit 2 is integrated in a shared semiconductor with an assigned active program memory 3 . Furthermore, the circuit arrangement 1 has a switch 6 which serves on the one hand as an interface between the circuit arrangement 1 and the data transmission network 7 and on the other hand as a packet transmission in the data transmission network 7 . This data transmission network 7 is an Ethernet network (Ethernet), whereby the circuit arrangement 1 is illustrated with two lines as being connected on the one hand...

Abstract

In the case of devices with a program-controlled circuit arrangement operating program instructions are necessary for their operation. In order to reduce the storage space necessary for this, in the case of devices which have a connection (6) to a data transmission network (7) in any case, the operating program instructions are not held in the device, but loaded via the data transmission network (7). For this purpose the circuit arrangement (1) has a start procedure memory (3), in which is stored a start procedure set up in such a way that for its execution a processor unit (2) connects up via the data transmission network (7) by means of the interface (6) to an operating program server and from this loads operating program instructions into a main memory (5) connected to the processor unit (2). The storage space required for the start procedure memory (3) can be further reduced, if the start procedure embedded in it is set up so that the processor unit (2) loads the instructions, which are necessary for connecting to the operating program server and for loading from this the operating program instructions, from a download procedure memory (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for implementing a programmable circuit arrangement having a processor unit, an assigned non-volatile active program memory, a main memory and an interface for connection to a data transmission network, and a circuit arrangement for performing the method . Background technique [0002] The term "programmable circuit arrangement" can be understood to refer to all devices that need to operate programs or operating system instructions. Usually these are circuit arrangements with a microprocessor, a microcontroller or circuit arrangements comprising a microprocessor core. This known technique is used to provide a memory in such a circuit arrangement in which the methods required for the operation of the circuit arrangement are stored and built into the processor unit so that the instructions are loaded and executed by the processor unit when the circuit arrangement is activated , in order to move the circuit arrangement ...
