Abstract

The application provides an FPGA upgrading method applied to a 250kVA energy router, and the upgrading method realizes the upgrading process of the FPGA to be convenient through a communication architecture of a host computer + DSP + FPGA, and steps are as follows: step S1, FPGA upgrading data packets of the router are imported into the host computer; step S2, the host computer issues an upgrading instruction and the upgrading data packets to the router DSP for temporary storage; step S3, the DSP issues the upgrading instruction to the FPGA to upgrade the FPGA function; and step S4, after the FPGA receives the upgrading instruction and the upgrading data packets issued by the DSP through an EMIF interface, the FPGA starts to operate a flash device of the FPGA to complete the upgrading operation; the application is an FPGA upgrading scheme applied to a DSP + FPGA control architecture, the FPGA program updating can be more convenient without increasing additional hardware resources, the device does not need to be opened, and after a program image is damaged, another image can be automatically loaded to continue to keep the device to work normally.
