Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to a communication method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] The MOCOR platform, which is based on a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), can be simply referred to as an RTOS platform. This platform is centered on a multi-mode single chip and provides a complete solution including communication software, application software, reference designs, development boards, development tools, and technical support to help various customers meet their differentiated needs.

[0003] Current IoT modules need to support both Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) dial-up internet access scenarios and Attention (AT) command control scenarios. However, existing RTOS platforms can only perform single-channel communication and support only one communication scenario, which does not meet the usage requirements of IoT modules.

[0075] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0076] In the embodiments of this application, "at least two" means two or more.

[0077] The terms "first," "second," etc., appearing in the embodiments of this application are for illustrative purposes and to distinguish the objects being described. They do not indicate any order and do not imply a specific limitation on the number of devices in the embodiments of this application, nor do they constitute any limitation on the embodiments of this application. For example, "first data" and "second data" are only used to distinguish different data, and do not indicate any difference in the size, priority, or importance of these two data.

[0078] In this application, terms such as "exemplary," "in some embodiments," and "in other embodiments" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Rather, the term "exemplary" is used to present the concept in a specific manner.

[0079] The electronic device in this application embodiment may refer to a chip module using an RTOS platform or a terminal device using an RTOS platform.

[0080] The application scenarios of this application embodiment can refer to multi-channel communication scenarios between various electronic devices, or multi-channel communication scenarios between electronic devices and a host computer. For example, a multi-channel communication scenario can refer to simultaneously serving a PPP dial-up Internet access scenario and an AT command control scenario.

[0081] Existing RTOS platforms only support single-channel communication and a single communication scenario, lacking path multiplexing capabilities and failing to meet the requirements of IoT modules. Current multi-channel communication solutions involve reconstructing the entire Serial Input / Output (SIO) module of the RTOS platform, abstracting all underlying serial physical ports, and providing a unified virtual port to the application. The virtual port abstracted by SIO is fixed to the application, while internally, it automatically matches various physical ports based on configuration and completes data transfer between virtual and physical ports. This reconstruction process involves not only communication paths but also calibration and log channels, resulting in a massive workload for implementation. Furthermore, due to the involvement of multiple modules, debugging and testing this solution is difficult, and it lacks portability across different RTOS platforms.

[0082] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a multi-channel communication method suitable for RTOS platforms. By setting at least two transmission paths in a multi-channel system, an electronic device equipped with the multi-channel system can communicate with other devices through at least two transmission paths.

[0083] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0084] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a multi-path system for the SIO module of an RTOS platform provided in this embodiment of the application. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The system includes a driver layer, an SIO layer, and an application layer.

[0085] The application layer includes an Attention Command (ATC) module and a PPP module. It should be noted that other application modules can also be included in the application layer; this embodiment does not limit the number of application modules in the application layer.

[0086] The SIO layer is configured with at least two SIO logical ports and at least two SIO physical ports. For example, the SIO layer can be configured with four SIO logical ports and four SIO physical ports.

[0087] The driver layer has at least two physical ports. For example, the driver layer can have four physical ports.

[0088] The SIO layer acts as an intermediate layer, encapsulating the underlying physical ports and mapping them to SIO physical ports. These SIO physical ports are then mapped to SIO logical ports, forming a transmission path between the driver layer and the SIO layer. At least two transmission paths are established between the driver layer and the SIO layer.

[0089] In one possible implementation, the transmission path in a multipath system can be established in the following way:

[0090] Bind at least two physical ports to at least two SIO physical ports in the SIO layer, map at least two SIO physical ports to at least two SIO logical ports in the SIO layer, and bind at least two SIO logical ports to at least two link identifiers to obtain at least two transmission paths.

[0091] For example, if the SIO logical ports are COM_DATA, COM_DATA2, COM_AT1, and COM_AT2, the SIO physical ports are VIR_COM0, VIR_COM7, VIR_COM8, and COM0, and the physical ports are USB_COM0, USB_COM4, ​​USB_COM5, and UART_COM0, then the port mapping relationship in the transmission path is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0092] Transmission path 1, transmission path 3 and transmission path 4 are used as Universal Communication (UCOM) AT, and transmission path 2 is used as Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter (UART) AT.

[0093] After the SIO logical port is bound to the physical port of the driver layer, it is also necessary to establish an association between the SIO logical port and the Link Identity Document (LinkID). The upper-layer application can access the SIO logical port through the Link Identity Document (LinkID) associated with the SIO logical port, and then translate the access to the SIO logical port into access to the bound physical port.

[0094] For example, the link identifiers corresponding to the four transmission paths are: LinkID1 (or ATC_DEBUG_LINK), LinkID2 (or ATC_DEBUG2_LINK), LinkID3 (or ATC_DEBUG3_LINK), and LinkID4 (or ATC_DEBUG4_LINK). The association between the four transmission paths and the link identifiers is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0095] Each port in the transmission path can establish a mapping and binding relationship through the port creation function SIO_Create. At the same time as establishing the mapping and binding relationship, the working mode, terminator, echo, receive buffer and send buffer of the path will be set.

[0096] In order for the AT port to be reused as a modem port for PPP dial-up Internet access, the AT channel needs to support both the DATE and ATC working modes. That is, in the ATC working mode, the ATC module receives and sends data, while in the DATE working mode, the data packet is transmitted for PPP dial-up Internet access.

[0097] At least two transmission paths can operate simultaneously in different working modes to serve different communication scenarios.

[0098] Compared with the architecture of SIO modules in related technologies, the architecture of the multi-path system of SIO modules provided in this application embodiment only adds corresponding SIO logical ports and SIO physical ports to the ATC module in the application layer in the SIO layer, and adds corresponding physical ports in the driver layer. That is, only the AT port is modified, without affecting other ports.

[0099] In this embodiment, at least two transmission paths in the multi-path system of the SIO module are applicable not only to the ATC module but also to the PPP module.

[0100] Based on the multi-path system architecture described above, the following details how each transmission path communicates.

[0101] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method provided in an embodiment of this application. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The method includes:

[0102] S401, Receive first data through the first physical port on the driver layer.

[0103] The driver layer has at least two physical ports, including the first physical port.

[0104] The first data may include the identifier of the first physical port.

[0105] The first data can be a data packet.

[0106] Multiple caches can be configured on the driver layer.

[0107] In one possible implementation, two buffers can be set up for each physical port at the driver layer: a receive buffer and a send buffer. The receive buffer is used to store data received from other devices (such as a host computer), and the send buffer is used to store data received from the application layer.

[0108] After receiving the first data, the first physical port on the driver layer can place the first data in the receive buffer corresponding to the first physical port.

[0109] Before using the first physical port to receive the first data, it is necessary to determine the first physical port among at least two physical ports, and to determine the working mode of the first transmission path corresponding to the first physical port.

[0110] In one possible implementation, the first physical port and the operating mode of the first transmission path corresponding to the first physical port can be determined by the following method:

[0111] The driver layer receives a third message; based on the third message, a first physical port is determined from at least two physical ports, and the first transmission path corresponding to the first physical port includes two working modes; based on the third message, a target working mode is determined from the two working modes of the first transmission path; and the working mode of the first transmission path is set to the target working mode.

[0112] For example, the third message can be an AT command, which may carry the identifier of the first physical port.

[0113] In one possible implementation, the third message can indicate the operating mode of the transmission path corresponding to the first physical port.

[0114] The two working modes can refer to ATC working mode and DATE working mode.

[0115] The method in this application embodiment can first determine the operating modes of the physical port and the first transmission path. After determining the operating modes of the first physical port and the first transmission path, data can be transmitted through the first physical port and the target operating mode. When all data transmission is completed, the target operating mode can be exited and the first physical port can be released. When it is only necessary to change the operating mode of the first transmission path, the current operating mode can be exited first, and then another operating mode can be switched.

[0116] S402. Determine the first transmission path corresponding to the first physical port among at least two transmission paths.

[0117] The transmission path whose physical port identifier is the same as that of the first physical port in at least two transmission paths is identified as the first transmission path.

[0118] S403. Transmit first data to the application layer through the first transmission path, and receive feedback data corresponding to the first data from the application layer through the first transmission path.

[0119] exist Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, first data is received through a first physical port on the driver layer. The driver layer has at least two physical ports, including the first physical port. A first transmission path corresponding to the first physical port is determined among at least two transmission paths. The first data is transmitted to the application layer through the first transmission path, and feedback data corresponding to the first data is received from the application layer through the first transmission path. By setting at least two transmission paths in the multi-path system, the electronic device equipped with the multi-path system can communicate with other devices through at least two transmission paths.

[0120] exist Figure 4 Based on the illustrated embodiment, the following details how to receive data through the first transmission path.

[0121] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating another communication method provided in an embodiment of this application. Please refer to... Figure 5 The method includes:

[0122] S501, Receive first data through the first physical port on the driver layer.

[0123] It should be noted that the execution process of S501 can be found in the execution process of S401, and will not be repeated here.

[0124] S502. Determine the first transmission path corresponding to the first physical port among at least two transmission paths.

[0125] It should be noted that the execution process of S502 can be found in the execution process of S402, and will not be repeated here.

[0126] S503. Determine the first SIO logic port corresponding to the first transmission path among at least two SIO logic ports.

[0127] The driver layer can call back the SIO_DataPortHdl interrupt function in the SIO layer, pass in the parameters of the first transmission path, and determine the first SIO logical port corresponding to the first transmission path from at least two SIO logical ports based on the parameters of the first transmission path.

[0128] S504. Transmit the first data to the application layer through the first SIO logical port.

[0129] In one possible implementation, the first data can be transmitted to the application layer in the following way:

[0130] Determine the first SIO physical port corresponding to the first transmission path among at least two SIO physical ports; receive the first data transmitted from the first physical port through the first SIO physical port, store it in the first buffer corresponding to the first SIO logical port, and send a first message to the application layer. The first message includes a target link identifier, which is the link identifier corresponding to the first transmission path; determine the first SIO logical port according to the target link identifier through the application layer, and read the first data from the first buffer corresponding to the first SIO logical port.

[0131] The driver layer can call back the data port interrupt handling function (SIO_DataPortHdl) in the SIO layer, pass in the parameters of the first transmission path, and determine the first SIO physical port corresponding to the first transmission path from at least two SIO physical ports based on the parameters of the first transmission path.

[0132] In one possible implementation, two buffers can be set up for each SIO logical port on the SIO layer: a receive buffer and a send buffer. The receive buffer is used to store data received from the driver layer, and the send buffer is used to store data received from the application layer.

[0133] The first buffer can be the receive buffer, which can also be called the receive buffer.

[0134] In one possible implementation, when the upper-layer application receives data through the SIO layer, the driver layer sends the data to the first buffer of the SIO layer and returns without waiting for the application layer to read the data from the first buffer. Each time the driver layer fills the first buffer of the SIO layer with data, it sends a data reception event, marking the completion of receiving one frame of data. When the application layer reads data, it waits for the data reception event; when the application layer detects the data reception event, it directly reads the data from the first buffer of the SIO layer.

[0135] To facilitate understanding, the data reception process under the two working modes will be illustrated with two specific examples below.

[0136] Example 1: Data reception in ATC working mode

[0137] like Figure 6As shown, after the driver layer receives data from the host computer through the first physical port, it stores it in the receive buffer (RX FIFO) corresponding to the first physical port and calls back the data port interrupt handling function (SIO_DataPortHdl) in the SIO layer, passing in the parameters of the first transmission path (i.e., the identifier of the first physical port, etc.). Based on the parameters of the first transmission path, the driver layer determines the first SIO physical port and the first SIO logical port. Then, based on the read event, the driver layer calls the receive function (SIO_RxForUserPort) in the SIO layer to store the data in the first buffer of the first SIO logical port and calls back the ATC callback function (DO_ATC_CALLBACK) in the SIO layer, passing in the target link identifier corresponding to the first physical port. Based on the target link identifier, the driver layer determines the first SIO logical port and notifies the ATC module in the application layer to read the data through the ATC read command (SIO_ATC_ReadCmdLine) interface provided by the SIO layer.

[0138] Example 2: Data reception in DATE working mode

[0139] like Figure 7 As shown, after the driver layer receives data from the host computer through the first physical port, it stores it in the receive buffer (RX FIFO) corresponding to the first physical port and calls back the data port interrupt handling function (SIO_DataPortHdl) in the SIO layer, passing in the parameters of the first transmission path (i.e., the identifier of the first physical port, etc.). Based on the parameters of the first transmission path, the driver layer determines the first SIO physical port and the first SIO logical port. Then, based on the read event, the driver layer calls the receive function (SIO_RxForUserPort) in the SIO layer to store the data in the first buffer of the first SIO logical port and sends a signal to notify the PPP read (ppp_read) thread in the SIO layer. The ppp_read thread reads the data by calling the PPP get character (SIO_PPP_GetChar) interface in the application layer.

[0140] After receiving the first data, the application layer needs to process it and then send the corresponding feedback data outward. The first data and the feedback data may or may not be related.

[0141] Below, in conjunction with Figure 8 The process of sending data through the first transmission path is described in detail.

[0142] Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating another communication method provided in an embodiment of this application. Please refer to... Figure 8 The method includes:

[0143] S801, determine the feedback data through the application layer.

[0144] Feedback data can be the data corresponding to the first data, or it can be some status information generated by the application layer. This status information can be information that the application layer needs to actively report.

[0145] S802. Determine the first SIO logical port based on the target link identifier corresponding to the first transmission path.

[0146] The first transmission path can refer to the transmission path for receiving the first data, or it can be the default transmission path used for active reporting.

[0147] In one possible implementation, the ATC module in the application layer sends the feedback data to be sent through the ATC write command (SIO_ATC_WriteCmdRes) interface. When calling the SIO_ATC_WriteCmdRes interface, the target link identifier is passed in to determine the first SIO logical port.

[0148] S803: Receive feedback data from the application layer through the first SIO logical port, store it in the second buffer corresponding to the first SIO logical port, and send the feedback data through the first SIO logical port.

[0149] In one possible implementation, feedback data can be sent via the first SIO logical port in the following way:

[0150] The driver layer sends a second message to the driver layer through the first SIO logical port. The second message is used to indicate that the first physical port enters the interrupt enabled state. The driver layer determines the first SIO physical port and the first SIO logical port based on the first physical port. The driver layer reads the feedback data stored in the second buffer corresponding to the first SIO logical port through the first SIO physical port and sends the feedback data through the driver layer.

[0151] The second buffer can be a send buffer, also known as a send buffer.

[0152] In one possible implementation, when the upper-layer application sends data through the SIO layer, the application layer uses the interface provided by SIO to transmit the data to the second buffer of the SIO layer and then returns. After the SIO layer sends the data into the second transmission buffer, it enables the interrupt of the corresponding port. Then, the SIO layer fills the transmission buffer (TX FIFO) of the driver layer with data. The process of the SIO layer filling the transmission buffer with data can be automatically loaded in a loop by the interrupt callback function.

[0153] To facilitate understanding, the data transmission process under the two working modes will be illustrated with two specific examples below.

[0154] Example 3: Data transmission in ATC working mode

[0155] like Figure 9 As shown, the ATC module sends the data to be sent through the ATC write command (SIO_ATC_WriteCmdRes) interface. When the SIO_ATC_WriteCmdRes interface is called, the link identifier corresponding to the first physical port is passed in, which is internally converted into the corresponding first SIO logical port. The storage function (uart_ppp_putc) in the SIO layer stores the data into the second buffer of the first SIO logical port. The end-point setting function (uart_mix_set_end_point) puts the end-point symbol into the second buffer of the first SIO logical port. After the transmit interrupt enable function (SIO_Tx_Int_Enable) in the SIO layer enables the port interrupt, the driver layer will call back the data port interrupt handling function (SIO_DataPortHdl), passing in the parameters of the first physical port. Internally, it is converted into the first SIO physical port and the first SIO logical port, and then the transmit function (SIO_TxForUserPort) is called according to the write event to store the data into the transmit buffer of the driver layer. Finally, the driver layer sends the data to the host computer.

[0156] Example 4: Data transmission in DATE working mode

[0157] like Figure 10 As shown, the PPP module sends the data to be sent through the PPP output string (SIO_PPP_PutString) interface. When the SIO_PPP_PutString interface is called, the link identifier corresponding to the first physical port is passed in, which is internally converted into the corresponding first SIO logical port. The storage function (uart_ppp_putc) in the SIO layer stores the data into the second buffer of the first SIO logical port. The end-point setting function (uart_mix_set_end_point) puts the end-point symbol into the second buffer of the first SIO logical port. After the transmit interrupt enable function (SIO_Tx_Int_Enable) in the SIO layer enables the port interrupt, the driver layer will call back the data port interrupt handling function (SIO_DataPortHdl), passing in the parameters of the first physical port. Internally, it is converted into the first SIO physical port and the first SIO logical port, and then the transmit function (SIO_TxForUserPort) is called according to the write event to store the data into the transmit buffer of the driver layer. Finally, the driver layer sends the data to the host computer.
