Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of electronic information technology, and in particular to an IP event counting device, method, equipment and storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a system on chip (SOC), a power management system estimates IP (Intellectual Property) power consumption according to counting of various IP events in a period of time. The power management system generally reads the count of a specific IP event at a fixed frequency, calculates the difference between two consecutive counts, and the difference is the number of occurrences of the IP event in the period of time, so as to calculate the power consumption of the IP function module in the period of time. In actual operation, the IP function module will be turned off and restarted as needed, and after restarting, all counts of the IP will be restarted from 0. At this time, the two consecutive counts cannot reflect the real number of events.

[0003] When the power management system is responsible for the power-on and power-off of the IP, there will be no problem, because the power management system can obtain the time when the counter is reset to zero. When the power-on and power-off of the IP is responsible by other systems, the power management system cannot know when the counter will be 0. In order to solve this problem, the IP needs to send a signal to the power management system before and after each restart, and the power management system calculates the count value of the event in the two cases (whether restarted) by different methods.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0024] It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this disclosure, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in this disclosure in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and user authorization should be obtained.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an IP event counting device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the device includes: an IP function module 110 and a power management module 120; the IP function module 110 includes a counter register 111; the power management module includes a counter mirror register 121 and a base register 122.

[0027] The counter register 111 and the counter mirror register 121 are connected via hardware wiring. The counter register 111 stores a first count value; the counter mirror register 121 stores a second count value; and the base register 122 stores a third count value. The first count value represents the number of times a preset IP event has occurred in the IP function module, and the second count value is equal to the first count value, which is synchronized from the counter register.

[0028] When the IP function module 110 is powered off, the IP function module 110 reads the first count value from the counter register 111 and the third count value from the base register 122, accumulates the first count value and the third count value, and writes the accumulation result into the base register 122 as the new third count value.

[0029] When the IP function module is powered on, the power management module reads the second count value from the counter mirror register every set time interval, and adds the read second count value to the third count value through an adder, and determines the accumulated result as the target count value of the preset IP event.

[0030] In the embodiment, when the IP function module 110 is powered on, the first count value in the count register 111 is initialized to 0; then the number of preset IP events occurring in real time is recorded. The count mirror register 121 in the power management module 120 keeps the same value as the count register 111 through hardware connection. When the power management module 120 is powered on, the third count value in the base register 122 is initialized to 0.

[0031] In the embodiment, when the IP function module is powered off, the corresponding driver reads the first count value Rc from the count register 111 and the third count value Rb from the base register 122, and writes their sum into the base register 122 as a new third count value Rb (i.e. Rb = Rc + Rb). When the IP is powered on again, the target count value (Rm + Rb) read by the power management module is still continuous, and is completely unaffected by the IP power-off and power-on process and the number of times.

[0032] Optionally, Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of an IP event counting device provided by the embodiment of the application, as Figure 2 The power management module further includes a signal monitor 123; the signal monitor 123 is used to receive the state signal of the IP function module. The state signal includes a high-level signal and a low-level signal.

[0033] The state signal of the IP function module can be directly sent to the signal monitor by other power management modules supplying power to the IP function module or forwarded to the signal monitor by the IP function module.

[0034] In the embodiment, when the IP function module is powered on, the state signal of the IP is a high-level signal, and when the IP is powered off, the state signal of the IP is a low-level signal. The state signal is an input signal of the power management module 120, and the time when the state signal is sent to the signal monitor 123 is earlier than the time when the IP function module really enters the power-on and power-off state, so that the power management module has time to update the third count value in the base register 122.

[0035] In the embodiment, when the signal monitor receives the low-level signal, the power management module 120 reads the second count value from the count mirror register 121 and the third count value from the base register 122, and adds the second count value and the third count value, and writes the addition result into the base register 122 as a new third count value.

[0036] Specifically, when the signal monitor detects the falling edge of the IP state signal, the first count value Rc is read from the count register 111 and the third count value Rb is read from the base register 122, and their sum is written into the base register 122 as a new third count value Rb (i.e. Rb = Rc + Rb). When the IP is powered on to count next time, the count (Rm + Rb) read by the power management module is still continuous, and is completely unaffected by the IP power-off, power-on process and the number of times.

[0037] In the embodiment, the difference between the two adjacent target count values is determined, and the power consumption of the preset IP event within the set time length is determined based on the difference.

[0038] In the embodiment, when the IP function module is powered off, the third count value Rb in the base register is updated to Rm + Rb or Rc + Rb, and when the IP is powered on to count next time, the count (Rm + Rb) read by the power management module is still continuous, and is completely unaffected by the IP power-off, power-on process and the number of times.

[0039] The IP event counting device provided in the embodiment includes an IP function module and a power management module; the IP function module includes a count register; the power management module includes a count mirror register and a base register; the count register and the count mirror register are connected by hardware wiring; the count register is used to store a first count value; the count mirror register is used to store a second count value; the base register is used to store a third count value; wherein the first count value represents the number of times of occurrence of a preset IP event in the IP function module, the second count value is equal to the first count value, and the second count value is synchronized from the count register; when the IP function module is powered off, the IP function module reads the first count value from the count register and the third count value from the base register, and adds the first count value and the third count value, and writes the addition result into the base register as a new third count value; when the IP function module is in a power-on state, the power management module reads the second count value from the count mirror register every set time length, and adds the read second count value and the third count value through an adder, and determines the addition result as a target count value of the preset IP event. The IP event counting device provided in the embodiment can obtain the count of the IP event without considering whether the IP function module has experienced a restart, can reduce the software complexity of the power management module, can reduce the occupation of the software and hardware resources of the power management system, and can improve the accuracy of the IP event count.

[0044] Optionally, the method further comprises the following steps: when the signal monitor in the power management module receives a low-level signal, the power management module reads the second count value from the count mirror register and reads the third count value from the base register; the second count value and the third count value are accumulated; and the accumulation result is written into the base register as a new third count value.
