Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic information technology, and in particular to a counting device, method, apparatus and storage medium for IP events. Background Technology

[0002] In a System-on-Chip (SoC), the power management system estimates IP power consumption based on the counts of various Intellectual Property (IP) events over a period of time. The power management system typically reads the counts of specific IP events at a fixed frequency and calculates the difference between two consecutive counts. This difference represents the number of times that IP event occurred during that period, and is used to calculate the power consumption of the IP functional module during that time. However, in actual operation, IP functional modules are constantly shut down and restarted as needed. After a restart, all IP counts reset to 0, meaning that two consecutive counts no longer reflect the true number of events that occurred.

[0003] When the power management system (PMS) is responsible for powering on and off the IP, there are no issues because the PMS can detect when the counter will reach zero. However, when the PMS's power-on and power-off are handled by other systems, the PMS cannot determine when the counter will reach zero. To address this, the PMS needs to send a signal to the PMS before and after each reboot. The PMS then calculates the event count for each of these two scenarios (whether a reboot has occurred) using different methods. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. 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. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[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 this embodiment, when the IP function module 110 is powered on, the first count value in the counter register 111 is initialized to 0; subsequently, the count of preset IP events is incremented in real time. The counter mirror register 121 located in the power management module 120 is kept consistent with the value in the counter register 111 via hardware wiring. When the power management module 120 is powered on, the third count value in the base register 122 is initialized to 0.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the IP function module is powered down, 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 the 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 remains continuous and is completely unaffected by the IP power-down and power-on processes and the number of times.

[0032] Optional, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an IP event counting device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the power management module also includes a signal monitor 123; the signal monitor 123 is used to receive status signals from the IP function modules. These status signals include high-level signals and low-level signals.

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

[0034] In this embodiment, when the IP function module is powered on, the IP status signal is high; when the IP is powered off, the IP status signal is low. This status signal serves as an input signal to the power management module 120. The time when this status signal is sent to the signal monitor 123 must precede the time when the IP function module actually enters the power-on / off state, so that the power management module has time to update the third count value in the base register 122.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the signal monitor receives a 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, accumulates the second count value and the third count value, and writes the accumulation result into the base register 122 as the new third count value.

[0036] Specifically, when the signal monitor detects the falling edge of the IP status signal, it 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 the new third count value Rb (i.e., Rb = Rc + Rb). When the IP is powered on again, the count (Rm + Rb) read by the power management module remains continuous and is completely unaffected by the IP's power-on / off process and the number of times it is powered on.

[0037] In this embodiment, the method further includes: determining the difference between two adjacent target count values, and determining the power consumption of a preset IP event within a set duration based on the difference.

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

[0039] The IP event counting device provided in this embodiment includes: an IP function module and a power management module; the IP function module includes a counting register; the power management module includes a counting mirror register and a base register; the counting register and the counting mirror register are connected by a hardware connection; the counting register is used to store a first count value; the counting 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 a preset IP event occurs 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 counting register; when the IP function module is powered off, the IP function module reads the first count value from the counting register and the third count value from the base register, accumulates the first count value and the third count value, and writes the accumulation result into the base register as a new third count value; when the IP function module is powered on, the power management module reads the second count value from the counting mirror register at set intervals, and accumulates the read second count value and the third count value through an adder, and determines the accumulation result as the target count value of the preset IP event. The IP event counting device provided in this embodiment of the invention does not need to consider whether the IP function module has been restarted when acquiring the IP event count, which can reduce the software complexity of the power management module, reduce the occupation of the power management system's hardware and software resources, and improve the accuracy of IP event counting.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of an IP event counting method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The method is executed by the IP event counting device of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0042] S310, 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; accumulates the first count value and the third count value; and writes the accumulation result into the base register as the new third count value.

[0043] S320: 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 the adder, and determines the accumulated result as the target count value of the preset IP event.

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

[0045] Optionally, the method may also include the following steps: determining the difference between two adjacent target count values, and determining the power consumption of a preset IP event within a set duration based on the difference.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the IP function module is powered off, it reads a first count value from the counter register and a third count value from the base register; it accumulates the first and third count values; and it writes the accumulated result into the base register as a new third count value. When the IP function module is powered on, the power management module reads the second count value from the counter mirror register at set intervals, and accumulates the read second count value with the third count value using an adder. The accumulated result is then determined as the target count value for the preset IP event. The IP event counting device provided in this embodiment does not require consideration of whether the IP function module has undergone a restart when acquiring IP event counts. This reduces the software complexity of the power management module, decreases the consumption of power management system hardware and software resources, and improves the accuracy of IP event counting.
