Description

Background Art

[0002] With the development of communication technologies, many traditional electronic devices have begun to add communication functions. For example, a watch that could only tell time in the past can provide more high-tech functions such as weather forecasting, health monitoring, and two-way calling after adding a communication module on the basis of its original function. Currently, smart watches have become common communication tools in daily life, making the connection between people closer and bringing more convenience to our lives. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the communication function of smart watches.

[0098] Embodiments of the present invention provide a multiplex communication system. Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of a multiplex communication system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the system includes: a first chip 11 and a second chip 12.

[0099] A communication interface is provided between the first chip 11 and the second chip 12. The communication interface includes a virtual multiplexing channel, and the virtual multiplexing channel includes a control channel. The system includes: the first chip 11 communicates with the second chip 12 through the control channel. Among them, the control channel is used to implement at least one of the following functions: the control channel is used to make the first chip 11 and the second chip 12 in a ready state through a handshake communication method; the control channel is used to perform data flow control during the communication between the first chip 11 and the second chip 12; the control channel is used to control the second chip 12 to implement the communication behavior corresponding to the function function by remotely calling the function function of the second chip 12; the control channel is used to count the communication data of the communication between the first chip 11 and the second chip 112.

[0100] In embodiments of the present invention, the virtual multiplexing channel may further include other types of logical channels, and the control channel has the highest priority in the virtual multiplexing channel. Among them, the control channel is used for the management and control inside the multiplexing (Cmux) for dual-core communication, so that the Cmux framework for dual-core communication can operate efficiently.

[0101] In embodiments of the present invention, a communication interface is provided between the first chip and the second chip. Among them, the communication interface includes, but is not limited to, a Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter (UART) interface or a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).

[0102] In the embodiments of the present invention, the first chip and the second chip can be applied to dual-chip communication or dual-device communication. When applied to dual-chip communication, the first chip and the second chip are integrated in the same electronic device. When the first chip is the main chip, the second chip is the secondary chip; when the first chip is the secondary chip, the second chip is the main chip. For example, the electronic device includes a smart watch, a point-of-sale (POS) machine. When applied to dual-device communication, the first chip is disposed in one electronic device, and the second chip is disposed in another electronic device. When the first chip in one electronic device is an application processor, the second chip in the other electronic device is a modem chip; when the second chip in one electronic device is an application processor, the first chip in the other electronic device is a modem chip. For example, one electronic device is a computer, and the other electronic device is a wireless network card.

[0103] In the embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device includes, but is not limited to, a wearable device, a tablet computer, a portable PC, a mobile phone, etc. Among them, the wearable device can be a smart watch or a smart bracelet.

[0104] In the embodiments of the present invention, the multiplexing communication system can implement a multiplexing communication framework. For other projects or other products that need to use the multiplexing function, only some simple adaptations are required to reuse this framework, which greatly reduces the development workload.

[0105] The multiplexing communication framework can be applied to communication channels corresponding to different communication interfaces or different operating systems (OS). Among them, the operating system includes, but is not limited to, the Windows operating system, the Threados operating system, or the Rtthread operating system. In the multiplexing communication framework, cmux.c is the most core code, and all algorithms and logics related to multiplexing are implemented through the cmux.c code. Among them, cmux.c includes a cmux data encoding protocol, a send-receive buffer queue, support for channel priority, and support for software flow control. In the multiplexing communication framework, cmux_api.h provides API interfaces externally, and different physical channels need to provide interfaces dev_open, dev_close, dev_write, dev_read, and dev_data_coming according to the requirements of the framework. In the multiplexing communication framework, cmux_os_adaptor.c defines memory related to the OS, creates threads, waits for events, sends events, or mutex functions. By calling the codes cmux.c, cmux.h, and cmux_api.h, the reuse of the framework is realized, and the development workload is reduced.

[0106] In the technical solution of the multiplexing communication system provided in the embodiments of the present invention, a communication interface is provided between the first chip and the second chip. The communication interface includes a virtual multiplexing channel, and the virtual multiplexing channel includes a control channel. The first chip communicates with the second chip through the control channel. Among them, the control channel is used to implement at least one of the following functions: the control channel is used to make the first chip and the second chip in a ready state through a handshake communication method; the control channel is used to perform data flow control during the communication between the first chip and the second chip; the control channel is used to control the second chip to implement the communication behavior corresponding to the function function by remotely calling the function function of the second chip; the control channel is used to count the communication data of the communication between the first chip and the second chip. In the embodiments of the present invention, the first chip and the second chip communicate through the control channel in the virtual multiplexing channel, thereby improving the communication efficiency and realizing the communication function of multi-service concurrency.

[0107] Embodiments of the present invention provide a multiplexing communication method, which can be based on Figure 1 the multiplexing communication system shown in Figure 2 is a flowchart of a multiplexing communication method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes:

[0108] Step 11: The first chip receives a second preparation data packet sent by the second chip through the control channel at a set time interval. The second preparation data packet includes a second preparation identifier, and the second preparation identifier is used to indicate that the second chip is in a ready state.

[0109] In the embodiments of the present invention, before the first chip receives the second preparation data packet, the multiplexed first chip starts and waits for the multiplexed second chip to start. After the second chip starts, step 11 is executed.

[0110] In the embodiments of the present invention, after the first chip receives the second preparation identifier, it learns that the second chip is in a ready state through the second preparation identifier.

[0111] Step 12: In response to the second preparation identifier, the first chip sends a first preparation data packet to the second chip. The first preparation data packet includes a first preparation identifier, and the first preparation identifier is used to indicate that the first chip is in a ready state.

[0112] In the embodiments of the present invention, after the second chip receives the first preparation identifier, it learns that the first chip is in a ready state through the first preparation identifier.

[0113] After the second chip receives the first preparation data packet, it will jump out of the handshake communication loop. At this time, both the first chip and the second chip are in a ready state, thereby ensuring the reliability of the communication between the first chip and the second chip.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the first chip and the second chip are both in a ready state, the communication channel formed by connecting the first chip and the second chip through a communication interface enters the ready state.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first preparation data packet and the second preparation data packet are data packets of the same type, and the first preparation identifier and the second preparation identifier are identifiers of the same type. Among them, the first preparation data packet and the second preparation data packet are data packets negotiated by the first chip and the second chip.

[0116] In the above solution, the control channel realizes the function of making the first chip and the second chip in a ready state through a handshake communication method.

[0117] Step 13: The second chip obtains a plurality of service requests from the first chip through the control channel.

[0118] The second chip obtains a plurality of service requests from the first transmission buffer queue of the first chip through the control channel.

[0119] In an embodiment of the present invention, step 13 may specifically include:

[0120] Step 131: The first chip sends a plurality of service requests to the second chip through the control channel through the set first transmission buffer queue.

[0121] Figure 3a It is a flowchart of a method for sending a plurality of service requests provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 3a shown, as an alternative solution, step 131 may specifically include:

[0122] Step 131a: The first chip applies for a first memory buffer area by calling a buffer function module, and caches a plurality of service requests in the first memory buffer area, where the service requests include identifiers corresponding to the service requests.

[0123] In an embodiment of the present invention, a section of space memory is reserved in the first memory buffer area. The buffer function module includes Cmux_Buffer_Alloc or Callback_Alloc.

[0124] Step 131b: The first chip caches the plurality of service requests in the first memory buffer area to the end of the first transmission buffer queue by calling a multiplexer write interface (Cmux Write API).

[0125] Step 131c: The first chip sends a plurality of service requests in the first transmission buffer queue to the second chip through the control channel, so that the second chip can parse the identifiers corresponding to the plurality of service requests to obtain a plurality of service types corresponding to the plurality of service requests, and obtain a plurality of service requests corresponding to the plurality of service types.

[0126] Multiplexing (Cmux) sends the service request sending signal received from the first chip. The first transmission buffer queue has corresponding priorities, and Cmux sends the service requests in the first transmission buffer queue according to the priorities. When Cmux sends the service requests in the first transmission buffer queue, it adds the identifier corresponding to the service request to the corresponding service request in the first memory buffer, and adds the identifier corresponding to the first transmission buffer queue to the head of the first memory buffer by calling Cmux_Add_Header. Cmux sends the multiple service requests with added identifiers to the second chip by calling the dev_write data interface through the control channel. Among them, the service request includes the identifier corresponding to the service request; the identifier of the first transmission buffer queue includes the length of the data and the number of the first transmission buffer queue.

[0127] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the first chip sends multiple service requests to the second chip, it releases the first memory buffer. When applying for the first memory buffer through Cmux_Buffer_Alloc, the first chip calls Cmux_Buffer_Free to release the first memory buffer; when applying for the first memory buffer through Callback_Alloc, the first chip calls Callback_Free to release the first memory buffer.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present invention, in the process of the first chip sending service requests to the second chip, the method of zero memory copy (Copy) is adopted to improve the communication efficiency. The multiplexing application (cmux app), multiplexing (cmux), and communication channel driver use the same memory buffer. When sending service requests, the upper layer of the first chip applies for the memory buffer, and the lower layer of the first chip releases the memory buffer; when receiving service requests, the lower layer of the second chip applies for the memory buffer, and the upper layer of the second chip releases the memory buffer. In order to achieve the purpose of zero memory copy, the function for obtaining memory can provide an API interface by cmux, or set function pointers for obtaining memory and releasing memory by the cmux app module. The address returned by the function for obtaining memory must be offset by the reserved size of sizeof(cmux_header_t). With the identifier (header), when the service request is sent to the second chip, the second chip can distinguish which service the request is for.

[0129] Figure 3b It is a flowchart of another method for sending multiple service requests provided in the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 3b shown, as another alternative, step 131 may specifically include:

[0130] Step 131e: The first chip caches multiple service requests into different first transmission buffer queues corresponding to different service types according to the service types of the service requests.

[0131] Figure 4 It is a flowchart of a method for caching to a transmission buffer queue provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 4 shown, each service request among multiple service requests corresponds to a different service type, and at least one service request can correspond to the same service type. The first chip caches multiple service requests into different first transmission buffer queues according to different service types.

[0132] Step 131f: The first chip sends the service requests in multiple first transmission buffer queues to the second chip through the control channel according to the priorities of the first transmission buffer queues.

[0133] As Figure 4 shown, the first transmission buffer queue has a corresponding priority, and the first chip preferentially sends the service requests in the first transmission buffer queue with a higher priority to the second chip through the control channel.

[0134] In an embodiment of the present invention, as an alternative solution, after step 131, the first chip counts the number of sent service requests, and the second chip counts the number of received service requests and returns the counted number of received service requests to the first chip through the control channel. The first chip subtracts the number of sent service requests from the number of received service requests to obtain the number of lost service requests. In particular, if the number of lost service requests is 0, it indicates that the service requests are not lost. In the above solution, the function of counting the communication data for communicating between the first chip and the second chip is realized through the control channel. In this case, the communication data includes the number of service requests.

[0135] Step 132: The second chip receives multiple service requests sent by the first chip through the control channel by means of the set first reception buffer queue.

[0136] Each service request among multiple service requests corresponds to a different service type, and at least one service request can correspond to the same service type. The second chip caches multiple service requests into different first reception buffer queues through the control channel according to different service types.

[0137] Figure 5 It is a flowchart of a method for receiving multiple service requests provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 5 shown, step 132 may specifically include:

[0138] Step 1321: During the process that the second chip receives multiple service requests through the first receive buffer queue, it detects whether the current receive storage value of the first receive buffer queue is less than or equal to the receive storage threshold. If not, step 1321 is executed; if so, step 1322 is executed.

[0139] When the second chip detects that the current receive storage value of the first receive buffer queue is greater than the receive storage threshold (free_nodes), it indicates that the current first receive buffer queue is in a safe area and can receive service requests without causing loss of service requests. At this time, the first chip will send service requests at full speed; when the second chip detects that the current receive storage value of the first receive buffer queue is less than or equal to the receive storage threshold, it indicates that the current first receive buffer queue is not in a safe area and is not sufficient to receive service requests, and continued reception will cause loss of service requests. At this time, the first chip will stop or slow down sending service requests. For example: when the receive storage threshold is set to 4 and the current receive storage value of the first receive buffer queue is 7, the current receive storage value is greater than 4. At this time, the second chip is in a safe area and can continue to receive service requests without causing loss of service requests. At this time, the first chip will send service requests at full speed; when the current receive storage value of the first receive buffer queue is 2, the current receive storage value is less than 4. At this time, the second chip is not in a safe area and is not sufficient to receive service requests, and continued reception of service requests will cause loss. At this time, the first chip will stop or slow down sending service requests.

[0140] Step 1322: The second chip sends a stop sending instruction or a slow down sending instruction to the first chip through the control channel.

[0141] When the second chip detects that the current receive storage value of the first receive buffer queue is less than or equal to the receive storage threshold, the second chip sends a stop sending instruction or a slow down sending instruction to the first chip through the control channel. For example: when the receive storage threshold is set to 4 and the current receive storage value of the first receive buffer queue is 2, the current receive storage value is less than 4, then the second chip sends a stop sending instruction or a slow down sending instruction to the first chip through the control channel.

[0142] In the above solution, the control channel is used for software flow control. When the second chip detects that the current receive storage value of the first receive buffer queue is less than or equal to the receive storage threshold, the multiplexing application is too late to read the service requests in the first receive buffer queue, resulting in loss of service requests. The second chip sends a stop sending instruction or a slow down sending instruction to the first chip through the control channel, and the first chip will perform flow control and slow down until the current receive storage value of the first receive buffer queue is greater than the receive storage threshold.

[0143] Step 1323: The first chip stops sending service requests to the second chip in response to a stop sending instruction, or reduces the sending speed in response to a decelerated sending instruction and sends service requests at the reduced sending speed, and then executes Step 1321.

[0144] After receiving the stop sending instruction through the control channel, the first chip stops sending service requests to the second chip; or after receiving the decelerated sending instruction through the control channel, the first chip reduces the sending speed and sends service requests to the second chip at the reduced sending speed. At this time, the second chip continues to detect whether the current received storage value of the first receive buffer queue is less than or equal to the receive storage threshold. In the above solution, the function of data traffic control is realized through the control channel during the communication between the first chip and the second chip.

[0145] Step 14: The second chip generates multiple service data in response to multiple service requests.

[0146] Each service request among the multiple service requests corresponds to a different service type, and at least one service request can correspond to the same service type. The second chip generates corresponding service data of different service types according to the service requests of different service types.

[0147] Figure 6 It is a flowchart of a method for generating service data provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 6 shown, Step 14 may specifically include:

[0148] Step 141: The second chip caches multiple service requests into first receive buffer queues corresponding to different service types according to the service types of the service requests.

[0149] Figure 7 It is a flowchart of a method for caching into a receive buffer queue provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 7 shown, each service request among the multiple service requests corresponds to a different service type, and at least one service request can correspond to the same service type. The second chip caches multiple service requests into different first receive buffer queues according to different service types.

[0150] The second chip receives service requests from the control channel by calling the dev_read or data_coming data interface and receives the identifier corresponding to the first send buffer queue.

[0151] In the embodiment of the present invention, the data interfaces include dev_write, dev_read, and data_comint.

[0152] Step 142: The second chip generates corresponding multiple service data according to the service requests in the multiple first receive buffer queues.

[0153] As Figure 7 shown, the second chip generates multiple service data corresponding to different service types according to multiple service requests. If a callback function (Data_Callback) is set in the second chip, the service requests are preferentially processed by calling Data_Handle_Callback; if Data_Callback is not set in the second chip, the service requests are defaultly read from the first receive buffer queue through multiplexer reading (Cmux_Read).

[0154] Step 143: The second chip caches the multiple service data into second transmit buffer queues corresponding to different service types according to the service types of the service data.

[0155] As Figure 4 shown, each service data among the multiple service data corresponds to a different service type, and at least one service data can correspond to the same service type. The second chip caches the multiple service data into different second transmit buffer queues according to different service types.

[0156] Step 15: The first chip obtains multiple service data from the second chip through a control channel.

[0157] The first chip obtains multiple service data from the second transmit buffer queue of the second chip through a control channel.

[0158] In the embodiment of the present invention, step 15 may specifically include:[[]]

[0159] Step 151: The second chip sends multiple service data to the first chip through a control channel via the set second transmit buffer queue.

[0160] Figure 8a is a flowchart of a method for sending multiple service data provided in the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 8a shown, as an optional solution, step 151 may specifically include:[[]]

[0161] Step 151a: The second chip applies for a second memory buffer area through a buffer function module and caches the multiple service data into the second memory buffer area, where the service data includes an identifier corresponding to the service data.

[0162] In the embodiment of the present invention, a section of space memory is reserved in the second memory buffer area. The buffer function module includes Cmux_Buffer_Alloc or Callback_Alloc.

[0163] Step 151b: The second chip caches multiple service data in the second memory buffer to the tail of the second transmission cache queue by calling the Cmux Write API.

[0164] Step 151c: The second chip sends multiple service data in the second transmission cache queue to the first chip through the control channel, so that the first chip can parse the identifiers corresponding to the multiple service data to obtain multiple service types corresponding to the multiple service data, and obtain multiple service data corresponding to the multiple service types.

[0165] Cmux receives the service data sending signal sent by the second chip. The second transmission cache queue has a corresponding priority. Cmux sends the service data in the second transmission cache queue according to the priority. When Cmux sends the service data, it adds the identifier corresponding to the service data to the corresponding service data in the second memory buffer, and adds the identifier corresponding to the second transmission cache queue to the head of the second memory buffer by calling Cmux_Add_Header. Cmux sends the multiple service data with added identifiers to the first chip by calling the dev_write data interface through the control channel. Among them, the identifier of the second transmission cache queue includes the length of the data and the number of the second transmission cache queue.

[0166] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the second chip sends multiple service data to the second chip, it releases the second memory buffer. When applying for the second memory buffer through Cmux_Buffer_Alloc, the second chip calls Cmux_Buffer_Free to release the second memory buffer; when applying for the second memory buffer through Callback_Alloc, the second chip calls Callback_Free to release the second memory buffer.

[0167] In the embodiment of the present invention, in the process of the second chip sending service data to the first chip, the method of zero-copy memory improves the communication efficiency. The multiplexing application (cmux app), multiplexing (cmux), and communication channel driver use the same memory buffer. When sending service data, the upper layer of the second chip applies for the memory buffer, and the lower layer of the second chip releases the memory buffer; when receiving service requests, the lower layer of the first chip applies for the memory buffer, and the upper layer of the first chip releases the memory buffer. In order to achieve the purpose of zero-copy memory, the function for obtaining memory can provide an API interface by cmux, or set function pointers for obtaining memory and releasing memory by the cmux app module. The address returned by the function for obtaining memory must be offset by the size reserved for sizeof(cmux_header_t). With the identifier (header), when the service data is sent to the first chip, the first chip can distinguish which service data it is.

[0168] Figure 8b This is a flowchart of another method for sending multiple service data provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 8b shown, as another alternative, step 151 may specifically include:

[0169] Step 151e: The second chip sends the service data in multiple second transmission buffer queues to the first chip through the control channel according to the priorities of the second transmission buffer queues.

[0170] As Figure 4 shown, the second transmission buffer queues have corresponding priorities, and the second chip preferentially sends the service data in the second transmission buffer queues with higher priorities to the first chip through the control channel.

[0171] Step 151f: The first chip caches the multiple service data into second reception buffer queues corresponding to different service types according to the service types of the service data.

[0172] As Figure 7 shown, each of the multiple service data corresponds to a different service type, and the same service type may correspond to at least one service data. The first chip caches the multiple service data into different second reception buffer queues according to different service types.

[0173] The first chip receives the service data from the control channel by calling the dev_read or data_coming data interface and receives the identifier corresponding to the second transmission buffer queue.

[0174] If Data_Callback is set in the first chip, the service data is preferentially processed by calling Data_Handle_Callback; if Data_Callback is not set in the first chip, the service data is defaultly read from the second reception buffer queue through Cmux_Read.

[0175] In an embodiment of the present invention, as an alternative, after step 151, the second chip counts the number of sent service data and returns the counted number of sent service data to the first chip through the control channel, and the first chip counts the number of received service data. The first chip subtracts the number of sent service data from the number of received service data to obtain the number of lost service data. In particular, if the number of lost service data is 0, it indicates that the service data is not lost. In the above solution, the function of counting the communication data for communicating between the first chip and the second chip is implemented through the control channel. In this case, the communication data includes the number of service data.

[0176] Step 152: The first chip receives multiple service data sent by the second chip through the set second receive buffer queue.

[0177] Each of the multiple service data corresponds to a different service type, and at least one service data can correspond to the same service type. The first chip caches the multiple service data into different second receive buffer queues according to different service types.

[0178] Figure 9 It is a flowchart of a method for receiving multiple service data provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 9 shown, step 152 may specifically include:

[0179] Step 1521: During the process of the first chip receiving multiple service data through the second receive buffer queue, it detects whether the current receive storage value of the second receive buffer queue is less than or equal to the receive storage threshold. If not, step 1521 is executed; if so, step 1522 is executed.

[0180] When the first chip detects that the current receive storage value of the second receive buffer queue is greater than the receive storage threshold, it indicates that the current second receive buffer queue is in a safe area and can receive service data without causing loss of service data. At this time, the second chip will send service data at full speed; when the first chip detects that the current receive storage value of the second receive buffer queue is less than or equal to the receive storage threshold, it indicates that the current second receive buffer queue is not in a safe area and is not sufficient to receive service data, and continued reception will cause loss of service data. At this time, the second chip will stop or slow down sending service data. For example: when the receive storage threshold is set to 4 and the current receive storage value of the second receive buffer queue is 7, the current receive storage value is greater than 4. At this time, the first chip is in a safe area and can continue to receive service data without causing loss of service data. At this time, the second chip will send service data at full speed; when the current receive storage value of the second receive buffer queue is 2, the current receive storage value is less than 4. At this time, the first chip is not in a safe area and is not sufficient to receive service data, and continued reception of service data will cause loss. At this time, the second chip will stop or slow down sending service data.

[0181] Step 1522: The first chip sends a stop sending instruction or a slow down sending instruction to the second chip through the control channel.

[0182] When the first chip detects that the current receiving storage value of the second receiving buffer queue is less than or equal to the receiving storage threshold, the first chip sends a stop sending instruction or a slowdown sending instruction to the second chip through the control channel. For example: when the receiving storage threshold is set to 4 and the current receiving storage value of the second receiving buffer queue is 2, the current receiving storage value is less than 4, and the first chip sends a stop sending instruction or a slowdown sending instruction to the second chip through the control channel.

[0183] In the above scheme, the control channel is used for software flow control. When the first chip detects that the current receive storage value of the second receive buffer queue is less than or equal to the receive storage threshold, the multiplexing application does not have time to read the service data in the second receive buffer queue, resulting in the loss of service data. The first chip sends a stop sending instruction or a slow down sending instruction to the second chip through the control channel, and the second chip will perform flow control and deceleration until the current receive storage value of the second receive buffer queue is greater than the receive storage threshold.

[0184] Step 1523 , the second chip stops sending service data to the first chip in response to the stop sending instruction, or reduces the sending speed in response to the slow down sending instruction and sends service data at the reduced sending speed, and executes step 1521 .

[0185] After receiving the stop sending instruction through the control channel, the second chip stops sending service data to the first chip; or after receiving the slowdown sending instruction through the control channel, the second chip reduces the sending speed and sends service data to the first chip at the reduced sending speed. At this time, the first chip continues to detect whether the current receiving storage value of the second receiving buffer queue is less than or equal to the receiving storage threshold. In the above scheme, the function of data flow control during the communication between the first chip and the second chip is realized through the control channel.

[0186] In an embodiment of the present invention, it also includes: the second chip receives a remote call instruction sent by the first chip through a control channel, wherein the remote call instruction includes a log instruction; the second chip responds to the log instruction and turns on or off the log of the second chip; and / or the second chip receives a remote call instruction sent by the first chip through a control channel, wherein the remote call instruction includes a test instruction; the second chip responds to the test instruction and starts a test application (Cmux Test App), and tests itself through the test application.

[0187] The first chip can check the records of multiplexed communication through the log of the second chip, wherein the records of multiplexed communication include but are not limited to the records of the sending and receiving of service requests and the sending and receiving of service data.

[0188] After the second chip starts the test application program, the first chip can test various functions in the second chip. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second chip starts the test application program only in response to a test instruction, avoiding the test application program being always in the on state and saving memory.

[0189] In the above solution, through the control channel, the function function of the second chip is remotely called to control the second chip to implement the communication behavior corresponding to the function function. Among them, the communication behavior includes opening or closing the log of the second chip, and / or starting the test application program.

[0190] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first transmission buffer queue, the second transmission buffer queue, the first reception buffer queue, and the second reception buffer queue adopt lock-free queues, and there is no need to lock the first transmission buffer queue, the second transmission buffer queue, the first reception buffer queue, and the second reception buffer queue. Therefore, the head and tail of the buffer queue can be quickly found. In the technical solution of the multiplexing communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a communication interface is provided between the first chip and the second chip. The communication interface includes a virtual multiplexing channel. The virtual multiplexing channel includes a control channel.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first chip and the second chip communicate through the control channel in the virtual multiplexing channel, thereby improving the communication efficiency and realizing the communication function of multi-service concurrency.
