Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Internet of Things, and more particularly to the field of wireless communication, specifically a debugging system for implementing a multi-protocol communication module. Background Technology

[0002] In the context of the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless communication, devices typically need to support multiple communication protocols to adapt to different application scenarios (such as long-distance, low-power, and high-security requirements). Common communication modules include 433MHz modules, LoRa modules, WAPI modules, Zigbee modules, 4G modules, and 5G modules. Existing technologies have the following problems: Limited testing tools: Most testing tools on the market are designed for a single communication protocol. Testers need to prepare different testing equipment and software for 433, LoRa, WAPI, etc., which is costly, cumbersome, and inefficient.

[0003] Configuration management is complex: the configuration parameters (such as frequency, spreading factor, bandwidth, authentication key, etc.) of each module are different, and testers need to learn multiple configuration processes, which is prone to errors.

[0004] Data cannot be analyzed uniformly: Because the test data comes from different tools and the data format is not uniform, it is difficult to conduct joint analysis and performance comparison across protocols.

[0005] Lack of flexible transparent transmission testing capabilities: Transparent transmission mode is a key means of testing the basic performance of modules, but existing solutions are difficult to achieve unified transparent transmission control and data monitoring of multiple modules on a single device.

[0006] Insufficient support for specific protocols: In particular, dedicated testing tools are scarce for protocols like WAPI, which have independent Chinese intellectual property rights and high security requirements.

[0007] Signal testing tools are not intuitive: viewing signal strength test results is complicated and cannot be displayed intuitively and conveniently on the tool.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a general-purpose tool that can integrate multiple communication modules and provide a unified configuration and testing interface. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a debugging system for multi-protocol communication modules that is efficient, easy to operate, and widely applicable.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the debugging system for implementing a multi-protocol communication module of this utility model is as follows: The debugging system for implementing a multi-protocol communication module is characterized in that the system includes a debugging device, which includes a communication motherboard and a communication module. The communication motherboard and the communication module are respectively provided with communication module interfaces, and the communication module and the communication motherboard are connected through the communication module interfaces. The communication motherboard includes a main control MCU, multiple transparent serial ports, a mode switch, a multi-function switch button, and a multi-function indicator light. The main control MCU is connected to the multiple transparent serial ports and the communication module interface via a UART interface. The main control MCU is connected to the mode switch, the multi-function switch button, and the multi-function indicator light via an I / O port.

[0011] Preferably, the system selects the corresponding mode through a mode switching switch and establishes a transparent transmission mapping between multiple transparent transmission serial ports and communication modules, and the communication motherboard selects the corresponding mode through a mode switching switch.

[0012] Preferably, the system uses two sets of debugging devices for signal testing. One set of debugging devices is configured as a transmitting end by switching buttons, and the other set of debugging devices is configured as a receiving end.

[0013] Preferably, the communication motherboard is powered by a 3.3V power supply port or a TYPE-C port.

[0014] This invention relates to a debugging system for implementing multi-protocol communication modules. It features diverse interface configurations, including two TTL transparent serial ports and one TYPE-C transparent serial port, meeting various interface configuration requirements. Test results are visualized; the MCU processes and analyzes signal test results, providing stable results within 5 minutes, which are then displayed intuitively via indicator lights. Data output is consistent; the device simultaneously handles multiple protocol messages, outputting processed transparent information in a unified format. High integration significantly reduces costs and increases efficiency; by integrating multiple communication modules such as 433MHz, LoRa, and WAPI through the communication module interface, it achieves "one machine for multiple uses," greatly reducing the purchase and maintenance costs of testing equipment and significantly improving the efficiency of test preparation.

[0018] To more clearly describe the technical content of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0019] The present invention discloses a debugging system for implementing a multi-protocol communication module, including a debugging device. The debugging device includes a communication motherboard and a communication module. The communication motherboard and the communication module are respectively provided with communication module interfaces. The communication module and the communication motherboard are connected through the communication module interfaces. The communication motherboard includes a main control MCU, multiple transparent serial ports, a mode switch, a multi-function switch button, and a multi-function indicator light. The main control MCU is connected to the multiple transparent serial ports and the communication module interface via a UART interface. The main control MCU is connected to the mode switch, the multi-function switch button, and the multi-function indicator light via an I / O port.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the system selects the corresponding mode through a mode switching switch and establishes a transparent transmission mapping between multiple transparent transmission serial ports and communication modules. The communication motherboard selects the corresponding mode through a mode switching switch.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the system uses two sets of debugging devices to test the signal. One set of debugging devices is configured as a transmitting end by switching buttons, and the other set of debugging devices is configured as a receiving end.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the communication motherboard is powered by a 3.3V power supply port or a TYPE-C port.

[0023] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the communication module interface enables functions such as wireless debugging, wireless reception, data transmission, and test result display of multiple communication modules (433MHz, LoRa, WAPI). This solves the problem of testers needing to frequently switch between different dedicated test equipment, realizing the transformation from "multiple devices for one purpose" to "one device for multiple purposes," fundamentally reducing test complexity and equipment costs.

[0024] I. System Structure of Communication Testing Device The device consists of a communication motherboard and communication modules (LoRa, WAPI, 433). The communication modules are connected to the communication motherboard through a communication module interface. The communication motherboard can be powered by a power supply port (3.3V) or a TYPE-C port. The communication motherboard includes a main control MCU, multiple transparent serial ports, a mode switch, a multi-function switch button, a multi-function indicator light, and a communication module interface. The main control MCU is connected to the transparent serial ports and the communication module interface through a UART interface. The main control MCU is connected to the mode switch, the multi-function switch button, and the multi-function indicator light through an I / O port. It supports switching between multiple wireless communication operating frequency bands and hot-switching of serial port baud rates.

[0025] II. Device Data Transmission The device has a wireless communication module data pass-through function, and can realize the pass-through function of three different modules: 433 / LoRa / WAPI through a mode switching switch. It supports the establishment of flexible "pass-through mapping" between multiple serial ports (such as TTL, TYPE-C) and various wireless communication modules.

[0026] After connecting the communication motherboard to the standardized communication module, select the corresponding mode. When the main control MCU receives a message sent by the communication module, it will parse and process the message and send it through the transparent serial port. When the main control MCU receives a transparent serial port information message, it will process the message and send it to the communication module.

[0027] Its core workflow is as follows: Uplink direction: The device will receive data from any transparent serial port and, according to the mode switching switch, automatically forward it to the designated communication module for transmission through the protocol abstraction layer.

[0028] Downlink direction: Data received by the device from any communication module is parsed and sent to multiple serial ports in a unified data format.

[0029] III. Device Signal Testing Function This device features an automated signal quality assessment function in 433MHz and LoRa operating modes, which aims to provide users with a fast and intuitive mechanism for judging link quality.

[0030] Two identical devices are required. One device is configured as a transmitter by switching the operating mode via a button, and the other device is configured as a receiver. Select the corresponding mode. The transmitter will periodically send messages. After receiving the messages, the receiver will judge the signal strength, data content stability, etc., and the judgment result will be displayed through indicator lights.

[0031] Its workflow is as follows: Mode settings: Users can freely specify the device's working role as "sender" or "receiver".

[0032] Test Start-up: The device automatically enters the test state according to the set roles. The sending end sends standard test data packets in a specific cycle, while the receiving end synchronously receives and analyzes the data.

[0033] Automatic decision-making: The device has a built-in timer that automatically processes and analyzes the received data after the test has been running for a preset period of time (e.g., 5 minutes).

[0034] Result indication: The device makes a judgment based on a preset algorithm, and displays the signal strength result after the signal strength assessment. The dedicated signal indicator light illuminates to intuitively show the user the current link quality status.

[0035] This invention allows switching between other communication modules (LoRa, Wapi, 433) via the communication module interface.

[0036] This device features a variety of AT commands and supports multi-module switching testing. This technical solution also supports multi-module testing and provides intuitive display of debugging results. The device can parse and process commands from various communication modules, and can adapt to multiple communication modules via a mode switching switch. The device can display test results intuitively on its own screen, eliminating the need for manual testing.
