[0041] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic test communication system provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a host computer 110 and a test machine hardware 120, such as Figure 1 As shown, the test machine hardware includes a communication board 121 and a plurality of resource boards 122 .

[0044] Among them, the host computer 110 is used to send the test data packet to the communication board 121; the communication board 121 is used to forward the test data packet to multiple resource boards 122; each resource board 122 is used to parse the test data packet to obtain the register operation mode and test parameters; determine the target register corresponding to the test parameter according to the preset mapping relationship, and operate each target register according to the register operation mode.

[0045] Among them, the register operation mode includes register read operation and register write operation; the mapping relationship is stored in the resource board, which is the mapping relationship between the test parameters and the registers; the number of test parameters is one or more;.

[0046] The test data packet may reflect two parts: register operation mode and test parameters. The register operation mode includes register read operation and register write operation. For example, Figure 2 is an example diagram of a test data packet in this embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, four test data packets are included, namely, a write voltage data packet, a read voltage data packet, a write current data packet and a read current data packet; for the write voltage data packet, the following test parameters are included: voltage parameter, voltage clamp parameter, voltage gear parameter; for the read voltage data packet, the following test parameters are included: voltage parameter, voltage clamp parameter, voltage gear parameter; for the write current data packet, the following test parameters are included: current parameter, current clamp parameter, current gear parameter; for the read current data packet, the following test parameters are included: current parameter, current clamp parameter, current gear parameter. In this embodiment, different identifiers can be set for test data packets with different functions, for example: the identifier of the write voltage data packet is 0, the identifier of the read voltage data packet is 1, the identifier of the write current data packet is 2, and the identifier of the read current data packet is 3. Optionally, the test data packet can be a data packet with a fixed structure. If the test data packet is a data packet corresponding to a read request, it includes a data packet identifier; if the test data packet is a data packet corresponding to a write request, it includes a data packet identifier and multiple test parameters, the test parameters include test parameter values, and the multiple test parameters are arranged in a preset order.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the host computer 110 detects a test request triggered by a user, it obtains a pre-configured test data packet corresponding to the test request from the memory; or generates a test data packet according to the test request according to a preset assembly rule. Then, the test data packet is sent to the communication board 121 in the test machine hardware 120. For example, assuming that the user triggers a test request for reading voltage data, the host computer 110 obtains a pre-generated test data packet with a data packet identifier of 1, that is, a read voltage data packet.

[0048] In this embodiment, the resource board 122 stores preset parsing rules and preset mapping relationships. The preset parsing rules can be embodied in the form of program code or table, which includes the correspondence between the data packet identifier and the multiple test parameter names, and can also include the preset arrangement order between the multiple test parameter names. The preset mapping relationship can be embodied in the form of a mapping table, including the mapping relationship between the test parameters and the registers. The preset mapping relationships between resource boards can be the same or different, that is, in different resource boards, the register addresses corresponding to the same test parameter can be the same or different. For example, in resource board A, the voltage parameter corresponds to register 1, and in resource board B, the voltage parameter corresponds to register 11. For example, Figure 3 is an example diagram of a mapping relationship between a test parameter and a register in this embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, in a certain resource board, the voltage parameter corresponds to register 1, the voltage clamp parameter corresponds to register 2, the voltage range parameter corresponds to register 3, the current parameter corresponds to register 4, the current clamp parameter corresponds to register 5, and the current range parameter corresponds to register 6; that is, the resource board realizes the reading or writing of the voltage parameter by operating register 1; the resource board realizes the reading or writing of the voltage clamp parameter by operating register 2; the resource board realizes the reading or writing of the voltage range parameter by operating register 3; the resource board realizes the reading or writing of the current parameter by operating register 4; the resource board realizes the reading or writing of the current clamp parameter by operating register 5; the resource board realizes the reading or writing of the current range parameter by operating register 6.

[0049] In this embodiment, after the resource board 122 receives the test data packet sent by the communication board 121, the data packet identifier in the received test data packet is compared with the data packet identifier in the stored preset parsing rule. If the data packet identifier in the received test data packet matches the data packet identifier in the stored preset parsing rule, it indicates that the resource board can process the received test data packet, and then parses the received test data packet to obtain the register operation mode and multiple test parameters, which include the test parameter name; then determines the target register corresponding to each test parameter according to the stored preset mapping relationship, and finally operates each target register according to the register operation mode, that is, reads the test parameter value from the target register or writes the test parameter value into the target register. Among them, the detailed communication process between the host computer and the test machine hardware is shown in the following embodiment.

[0050] The automatic test communication system provided in this embodiment includes: a host computer and a test machine hardware; wherein the test machine hardware includes a communication board and multiple resource boards; the host computer is used to send a test data packet to the communication board; the communication board is used to forward the test data packet to multiple resource boards; the resource board is used to parse the test data packet to obtain the register operation mode and test parameters; the target registers corresponding to each test parameter are determined according to the preset mapping relationship, and each target register is operated according to the register operation mode. The host computer sends the test data packet to multiple resource boards through the communication board, so that each resource board operates each target register according to the test data packet, which can achieve the effect of simultaneously controlling different resource boards to realize the same function. Compared with the existing register reading and writing method, there is no need to send the register address to each resource board separately, which can effectively increase the amount of data transmitted by a single communication between software and hardware, reduce the frequency of overall communication, and thus effectively improve the efficiency of software and hardware communication. That is, the present application is not configured in the traditional register manner, but can be configured in the form of functionally classified test parameters based on DMA technology or other network communication technologies, so that it can be encapsulated into fixed data packets. It does not need to be configured registers one by one, but is performed in batch configuration, thereby improving the efficiency of software and hardware communication.

[0051] Embodiment 2

[0052] Figure 4 A flow chart of an automatic test communication method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention is provided. Based on the above embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0053] S410, the host computer sends the test data packet to the communication board in the test machine hardware.

[0054] Among them, the test data packet can be a data packet with a fixed structure. If the test data packet is a data packet corresponding to a read request, it includes a data packet identifier; if the test data packet is a data packet corresponding to a write request, it includes a data packet identifier and multiple test parameters, the test parameters include test parameter values, and the multiple test parameters are arranged in a preset order. Register operation modes include register read operations and register write operations. Test data packets with different functions can be set with different identifiers. Exemplarily, the test data packet can be any one of a write voltage data packet, a read voltage data packet, a write current data packet and a read current data packet, and these test data packets correspond to different data packet identifiers respectively.

[0055] Optionally, the process of the host computer sending a test data packet to the communication board in the test machine hardware can be: in response to a test request triggered by a user, the host computer obtains a test data packet corresponding to the test request; and sends the test data packet to the communication board in the test machine hardware.

[0056] Among them, the test request includes a read request or a write request, and the test data packet is pre-set based on different test requests. If the test request is a read request, the test data packet includes a data packet identifier; if the test request is a write request, the test data packet includes a data packet identifier and a preset number of test parameters; the test parameters include test parameter values. The test request can be triggered by the user through the interactive interface in the host computer or triggered by a physical button, for example, it can be: a write voltage test request, a read voltage test request, a write current test request, or a read current test request. When the host computer detects a test request triggered by the user, it can obtain the pre-configured test data packet corresponding to the test request from the memory, and then send the test data packet to the communication board in the test machine hardware. Exemplarily, assuming that the user triggers a read voltage test request, the test data packet corresponding to the read voltage test request is obtained from the memory, and the test data packet is sent to the communication board in the test machine hardware.

[0057] Optionally, the upper computer sends a test data packet to a communication board in the test machine hardware by: responding to a test request triggered by a user, determining a data packet identifier based on the test request; if the test request is a write request, obtaining a preset number of test parameters corresponding to the test request, and assembling the data packet identifier and the preset number of test parameters into a test data packet; if the test request is a read request, assembling the data packet identifier into a test data packet; and sending the test data packet to the communication board in the test machine hardware.

[0058] Among them, the test request includes a read request or a write request, and the test parameter includes a test parameter value. Specifically, if the user triggers a write request, the data packet identifier corresponding to the test request is determined and the preset number of test parameter values ​​corresponding to the test request are obtained, and then the data packet identifier and the preset number of test parameters are assembled in a preset order to obtain a test data packet. If the user triggers a read request, the determined data packet identifier is directly assembled into a test data packet. Exemplarily, assuming that the test request is a write current test request, the determined data packet identifier is "2", and the obtained test parameters include current parameter value, current clamp parameter value, and current gear parameter value, and then they are assembled in the order of "2", current parameter value, current clamp parameter value, and current gear parameter value to obtain a write current data packet.

[0059] In this embodiment, after the test data packet is obtained, the test data packet is sent to the communication board in the test machine hardware using network communication technology or direct memory access (DMA) technology.

[0060] S420, the communication board forwards the test data packet to multiple resource boards in the test machine hardware.

[0061] In this embodiment, after receiving the test data packet, the communication board forwards the data packet to multiple resource boards in the test machine hardware.

[0062] S430, for each resource board, parse the test data packet to obtain a register operation mode and a test parameter.

[0063] Wherein, the register operation mode includes register read operation and register write operation; the number of test parameters is one or more. Register read operation can be understood as reading data from a register, and register write operation can be understood as writing data into a register. Test parameters include test parameter names and / or test parameters. If the register operation mode is register read operation, the test parameter obtained is the test parameter name, and if the register operation mode is register write operation, the test parameter obtained is the test parameter value and the test parameter name. The above-mentioned test parameter name is a test parameter name of a preset number and a preset order corresponding to the data packet identifier obtained by parsing the data packet identifier and the pre-stored data packet parsing rules. In this embodiment, the resource board stores the preset parsing rules. When the resource board receives the test data packet, the data packet identifier in the received test data packet is compared with the data packet identifier in the stored preset parsing rules. If the data packet identifier in the received test data packet matches the data packet identifier in the stored preset parsing rules, it indicates that the resource board can process the received test data packet, and then the received test data packet is parsed to obtain the register operation mode and multiple test parameters.

[0064] Optionally, the test data packet is parsed to obtain the register operation mode and test parameters by: extracting the data packet identifier in the test data packet; determining the register operation mode based on the data packet identifier, and obtaining a preset number of test parameter names based on the data packet identifier and preset parsing rules; if the register operation mode is a register write operation, then also extracting the test parameter value in the test data packet.

[0065] Among them, the preset parsing rules are stored in the resource board, including the correspondence between the data packet identifier and the preset number of test parameter names, and can also include the preset arrangement order between the test parameter names. In this embodiment, the data packet identifier and the register operation mode, as well as the correspondence between the preset number of test parameter names, will be pre-stored, for example: the test data packet identified as "0" corresponds to the voltage write operation, and corresponds to the three test parameter names of voltage parameter, voltage clamp parameter, and voltage gear parameter; the test data packet identified as "1" corresponds to the voltage read operation, and corresponds to the three test parameter names of voltage parameter, voltage clamp parameter, and voltage gear parameter; the test data packet identified as "2" corresponds to the current write operation, and corresponds to the three test parameter names of current parameter, current clamp parameter, and current gear parameter; the test data packet identified as "3" corresponds to the current read operation, and corresponds to the three test parameter names of current parameter, current clamp parameter, and current gear parameter.

[0066] Specifically, after the register operation mode determined based on the data packet identifier is a register write operation and a preset number of test parameter names are obtained based on the data packet identifier and the preset parsing rules, it is also necessary to extract the preset number of test parameter values ​​in the test data packet so that the resource board writes the corresponding test parameter values ​​to the target register based on the obtained test parameter names. If the register operation mode determined based on the data packet identifier is a register read operation and a preset number of test parameter names are obtained based on the data packet identifier and the preset parsing rules, the resource board directly reads the test parameter values ​​from the target register based on the obtained test parameter names.

[0067] S440, the resource board determines the target registers corresponding to the test parameters according to the preset mapping relationship, and operates the target registers according to the register operation mode.

[0068] The preset mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between a test parameter and a register. Specifically, the preset mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between a test parameter name and a register. The preset mapping relationship is pre-established and stored in a resource board. The mapping relationship can be embodied in the form of a mapping table. The preset mapping relationships between resource boards can be the same or different. In this embodiment, the test parameter and the register are in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, one register stores one test parameter.

[0069] Optionally, the resource board determines the target registers corresponding to each test parameter according to a preset mapping relationship, and the way in which the resource board operates each target register according to the register operation mode can be: the resource board determines the target registers corresponding to each test parameter name according to the preset mapping relationship; if the register operation mode is a register read operation, the resource board reads the test parameter value corresponding to the test parameter name from the target register; if the register operation mode is a register write operation, the resource board writes the test parameter value into the target register.

[0070] In this embodiment, for each resource card, a mapping relationship between a test parameter name and a register is stored. After the target register corresponding to each test parameter name is determined, the resource card performs a corresponding read operation or write operation on the target register. Figure 3 For example, assuming that the received data packet is a write voltage data packet, the register operation mode is a write operation, then the voltage parameter value is written to register 1, the voltage clamp parameter value is written to register 2, and the voltage gear parameter value is written to register 3.

[0071] Optionally, after operating each target register according to the register operation mode, the following steps are also included: the resource board generates a response data packet according to the operation result, and sends the response data packet to the communication board.

[0072] The operation result includes two situations: successful operation or failed operation. If the register operation mode corresponding to the test data packet is a register write operation, the response data packet includes information on "whether the write operation is successful"; if the register operation mode corresponding to the test data packet is a register read operation, the response data packet includes information on "whether the read operation is successful", and if the read operation is successful, it also includes the read "test parameter value".

[0073] Optionally, after the host computer sends the test data packet to the communication board in the test machine hardware, the following steps are also included: the host computer queries the response status from the communication board; if the queried response status is answered, the host computer reads the response data packet from the communication board, and stores the read response data packet in the host computer memory; if the queried response status is unanswered, the host computer continues to query the response status from the communication board until the queried response status is answered, or the query times out.

[0074] The response status includes "answered" and "unanswered". The response status is the status information that the communication board switches according to whether it receives the response data packet sent by the resource board. For example, it is assumed that "0" represents unanswered and "1" represents answered; if the communication board does not receive the response data packet sent by the resource board, the response status is "0", and if the communication board receives the response data packet sent by the resource board, the response status switches from "0" to "1".

[0075] In this embodiment, after the host computer sends the test data packet to the communication board in the test machine hardware, it will continue to query the response status from the communication board within a preset period of time. Specifically, if the response status queried by the host computer is answered, the query is stopped, the host computer reads the response data packet from the communication board, and stores the read response data packet in the host computer memory; if the queried response status is not answered, the host computer continues to query the response status from the communication board until the queried response status is answered, or the query times out. That is, in this embodiment, if the user triggers a write request, the host computer reads a data packet containing "write success or write failure" information; if the user triggers a read request, the host computer reads a response data packet containing "read success" information and the read "test parameter value" or a response data packet containing "read failure". In this embodiment, a response mechanism for the resource board is provided, the host computer sends a test data packet, and the resource board feeds back a response data packet, that is, one request corresponds to one response, which can improve the stability of communication between software and hardware. Compared with the traditional method of no response after request, if you want to confirm whether to reply, you need to send a request again, which leads to high interaction frequency, easy problems and poor stability. The embodiment of the present application reduces the situation of unsuccessful reading and writing, effectively reduces the frequency of interaction, and improves the stability of interaction.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 5 is a signaling diagram of a communication method for automatic testing in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0077] 1. The host computer sends a test data packet to the communication board;

[0078] 2. The host computer continuously queries the communication board for the response status;

[0079] 3. The communication board sends the test data packet to the resource board;

[0080] The above resource boards, Figure 5 Only one is shown in the figure, in other implementations, there may be multiple resource boards.

[0081] 4. The resource board parses the test data packet and performs the corresponding register read or write operation;

[0082] 5. The resource board generates a response data packet and sends the response data packet to the communication board;

[0083] 6. The communication board switches the response status from unanswered to answered;

[0084] 7. The response status queried by the host computer is "answered", and the query stops;

[0085] 8. The host computer reads the response data packet from the communication board.

[0086] The technical solution of this embodiment is that the host computer sends a test data packet to the communication board in the test machine hardware; the communication board forwards the test data packet to multiple resource boards in the test machine hardware; for each resource board, the test data packet is parsed to obtain the register operation mode and test parameters; wherein the register operation mode includes register read operation and register write operation; the number of test parameters is one or more; the resource board determines the target registers corresponding to each test parameter according to the preset mapping relationship, and operates each target register according to the register operation mode; wherein the preset mapping relationship is stored in the resource board, which is the mapping relationship between the test parameter and the register. The communication method for automatic testing provided by the embodiment of the present invention is that the host computer sends the test data packet to multiple resource boards through the communication board, so that each resource board operates each target register according to the test data packet, which can achieve the effect of simultaneously controlling different resource boards to realize the same function. Compared with the existing register reading and writing method, there is no need to send the register address to each resource board separately, which can effectively increase the amount of data transmitted by the single communication of software and hardware, reduce the frequency of the overall communication, and thus effectively improve the efficiency of software and hardware communication.
