Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a software program burning method, controller, storage medium and power supply device. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, DC power supplies typically include two-stage circuits: ACDC circuit and DCDC circuit. Each stage corresponds to a controller. All the hardware circuits of the DC power supply are encapsulated in a chassis. Each controller has an external port, allowing for program burning and upgrades without disassembling the device.

[0003] In structural design, to simplify the design, technicians often integrate similar ports into a single port. However, when program flashing or upgrades are needed, staff errors may cause the program originally intended for controller A to be flashed onto controller B, resulting in the device failing to flash properly or even crashing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a software program burning method, a controller, a storage medium, and a power supply device to solve the problem of equipment crashing during operation due to program burning errors.

[0005] Firstly, this application provides a method for burning software programs, including:

[0006] After the software program is burned into the current controller, the identification program in the software program is run; the software program includes the identification program and the application program;

[0007] During the operation of the identification program, the storage space identification information of the current controller and the program identification information of the software program are obtained;

[0008] If the storage space identification information matches the program identification information, then the application is run;

[0009] If the storage space identification information does not match the program identification information, then the application is prohibited from running.

[0010] Secondly, this application provides a controller, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the software program burning method as described in any possible implementation of the first aspect above.

[0011] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the software program burning method described in any possible implementation of the first aspect above.

[0012] Fourthly, this application provides a power supply device, including: an external port, multiple circuits, and a controller as described in the second aspect above for each circuit;

[0013] Each controller is connected to the external port, and each controller obtains the software program to be burned through the external port.

[0014] This application provides a software program burning method, a controller, a storage medium, and a power supply device. After the software program is burned to the current controller, the method runs an identification program within the software program. The software program includes an identification program and an application program. During the execution of the identification program, the storage space identification information of the current controller and the program identification information of the software program are acquired. If the storage space identification information matches the program identification information, the application program is run; if the storage space identification information does not match the program identification information, the application program is prevented from running. This embodiment can verify the software program before the application program runs, determining whether the software program is burned correctly. If incorrect, the application program is not run, preventing system crashes during application execution and ensuring normal device operation. Attached Figure Description

[0020] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates an application scenario for the software program burning method provided in this embodiment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the power supply device includes an ACDC circuit, a DCDC circuit, a controller A corresponding to the ACDC circuit, and a controller B corresponding to the DCDC circuit, and each controller is connected to an external port.

[0023] See Figure 2 The document illustrates a flowchart of the software program burning method provided in this embodiment, which is described in detail below:

[0024] S101: After the software program is burned into the current controller, the identification program in the software program is run; the software program includes the identification program and the application program.

[0025] S102: During the operation of the identification program, the storage space identification information of the current controller and the program identification information of the software program are obtained.

[0026] S103: If the storage space identification information matches the program identification information, then the application program is run;

[0027] S104: If the storage space identification information does not match the program identification information, then the application is prohibited from running.

[0028] The execution subject in this embodiment can be the controller corresponding to any stage of the circuit in the power supply device described above, and the controller can be a DSP (digital signal processor).

[0029] The software program consists of two parts: an identification program and an application program. After the software program is burned into the controller, the identification program is run first. The identification program is used to determine whether the software program is the current controller's software program. After determining that the software program is the current controller's software program, the application program is run.

[0030] Specifically, the burning referred to in this embodiment can be either full program burning or upgrade program burning.

[0031] Specifically, program identification information is used to represent the identity of a software program, and can be an identification ID (IdentityDocument). Each controller corresponds to a unique program identification information for its software program. Storage space identification information is used to represent the identity of the controller's storage space, and can also be an identification ID.

[0032] The identification program is used to obtain the software program information and the current controller's storage space identification information. When the software program information and storage space identification information match, the application is run; otherwise, the application is prohibited from running to avoid the system crashing due to an incorrect application.

[0033] In this embodiment, the program identification information may also include the software program's version number and device type; the storage space identification information may also include the software program's version number and device type. The controller determines whether the software program is the current controller's software program based on the program version number and device type.

[0034] It should be noted that the software programming method provided in this embodiment can be applied to the controller corresponding to any stage circuit in the power supply device, or to other terminal devices. No limitation is made to the application device here.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the software program burning method provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0036] If it is detected that the software program is not being run for the first time, the application program within the software program will be run directly.

[0037] Specifically, the identification program monitors the current number of times the software program has run. If the current number of runs is 0, it obtains the software program information and the current controller's storage space identification information. If the software program information and storage space identification information match, the application is run; otherwise, the application is prevented from running to avoid crashes caused by faulty applications. The identification program updates the current number of runs each time the application starts running and resets the current number of runs to zero when it detects a software burning completion instruction.

[0038] If the identification program detects that the current software program has not run zero times, meaning that the software program is not running for the first time, it will run the application directly, thereby simplifying the program and shortening the preparation time for the program to start running.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S102 includes:

[0040] Read the storage space identification information stored in the external memory of the current controller.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S102 includes:

[0042] Obtain the storage space identification information stored in the flash memory of the current controller.

[0043] In this embodiment, the controller can store storage space identification information to a specific storage space. This specific storage space can be an upgrade-non-erasable area planned on the DSP's flash memory FLASH, or it can be set on an external memory configured on the DSP.

[0044] Since the FLASH lifespan of a DSP is shorter than that of external memory, erasing and rewriting should be avoided as much as possible. DSPs do not require a separate area to be not erased. Furthermore, DSPs are usually equipped with external memory, which is used to store factory parameters, operation records, and other data. Therefore, in this embodiment, the storage space identification information is preferably stored in the external memory, which can realize the software program burning method without increasing the cost and ensure the safe operation of the device.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S103 includes:

[0046] If the storage space identification information matches the program identification information, then the application program is run.

[0047] Specifically, if the storage space identification information is 0x22, then the program identification information must also be 0x22 in order to determine that the software program is the software program corresponding to the controller and can run the application.

[0048] This embodiment can also determine whether the storage space identification information matches the program identification information using the following method, detailed below:

[0049] The controller pre-stores the correspondence between storage space identification information and software program identification information, and determines whether there is a correspondence between the storage space identification information obtained this time and the program identification information. If so, it determines that the storage space identification information and the program identification information match.

[0050] For example, if the storage space identification information is 0X11 and the program identification information is 0X22, then it is determined whether the controller has a pre-stored correspondence between 0X11 and 0X22. If it exists, it proves that the storage space identification information matches the program identification information; otherwise, it is determined that the storage space identification information does not match the program identification information.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the specific implementation process of S103 includes:

[0052] If the storage space identification information is factory identification information, then it is determined that the factory identification information matches the program identification information, the application is run, and the storage space identification information is updated to the program identification information.

[0053] In this embodiment, before the controller is first programmed with software, its storage space identification information is the factory identification information 0xFF. During software programming, staff need to manually verify whether the programmed software is the correct one for the controller. If so, the software is programmed to the controller. After the controller has finished programming the software, if the factory identification information matches the program identification information, the storage space identification information is updated to the program identification information, and the application is run.

[0054] Specifically, after the software program is burned for the first time, since the storage space identification information is the factory identification information, all program identification information matches the factory identification information, the software program can be run, and the storage space identification information is updated to the current software program's program identification information. Thereafter, each time the identification program is run, it is determined whether the storage space identification information is consistent with the program identification information of the currently burned software program. If they are consistent, the application program is run; otherwise, the application program is prohibited from running.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the software program burning method provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0056] If the storage space identification information does not match the program identification information, a warning message is generated; the warning message is used to indicate that the user software program has been burned incorrectly.

[0057] In this embodiment, if the storage space identification information is inconsistent with the program identification information, the application will be prohibited from running and a warning message will be generated. The warning message may be: The software program is not compatible with the current controller. Please update the software program.

[0058] As can be seen from the above embodiments, this embodiment executes the software program burning method after the software program is burned, and can directly obtain program identification information and storage space identification information from the controller. It does not require modification of the relevant terminal program, thereby simplifying the control process. Moreover, this embodiment determines whether to run the application by judging whether the program identification information of the software program matches the storage space identification information of the controller before running the application. This can avoid the situation where the controller runs the wrong application and the device crashes. Thus, it can achieve the upgrade of the device without disassembling it, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the controller.

[0059] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
