Description of drawings
Further the present invention is elaborated below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment.
Fig. 1 is the multi mode terminal theory diagram of serial bus structure of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is that the multi mode terminal hardware of serial bus structure of the present invention connects sketch map.
Fig. 3 is the multi mode terminal software/hardware module diagram of serial bus structure of the present invention.
Embodiment
At first, core of the present invention is described: adopt bus connecting mode to realize high-speed communication between the multiprocessor CPU and expansion in bimodulus and the multi mode terminal, PXA27x processor and the usb bus with Intel is that example specifically describes the present invention below:
Intel PXA27x processor is as the proprietary application processor, and other wireless baseband processors is the special disposal wireless traffic then.Be connected with each other through usb bus between them, wherein application processor is as the USB main control end, and each wireless baseband processors is as the USB client.For supporting 127 USB devices on the usb bus, this numeral will fully guarantee under the situation that does not increase the communication line, really to realize multi mode terminal neatly, as long as the wireless baseband processors that will expand is suspended in the usb bus.Need to prove that the wireless baseband processors that can be suspended in the usb bus need be supported the USB standard, basically all support this function for present 3G chip.
In addition, second generation radio communication GSM chip has some not to be with the USB controller, in order to support them, has kept the passage of a serial ports, to set up the bridge of communicating by letter between second generation wireless communication chips and the application processor.Utilize this in mobile phone unusual mature technique, can successfully be implemented in a mobile phone, support manyly for wireless network simultaneously, this also just provides great convenience for mobile subscriber and operator.Adopt bus connecting method to realize that the framework of the many CPU communications of multi mode terminal is as shown in Figure 1; Comprise application processor 1,3G wireless baseband processors 21,2G wireless baseband processors 22; Serial bus 3 between 3G wireless baseband processors 21 and the application processor 1,2G wireless baseband processors 22 and and application processor 1 between UART Serial Port Line 4.
Second step was an example with PXA27x processor and the usb bus of Inte1, explained that PXA27x application processor is connected with hardware between two other wireless baseband processors GSM and the TD-SCDMA, and is as shown in Figure 2.Mainly by four most of compositions: the 3G wireless baseband processors 21 of application processor 1, TD-SCDMA, the 2G wireless baseband processors 22 of GSM, USB master controller 5, USB slave controller 6 and USB switching circuit of power supply 7 are formed.
(1) application processor 1 is an application CPU, and 2G wireless baseband processors 22 is gsm wireless CPU, adopts traditional serial ports to connect between the two.
(2) 3G wireless baseband processors 21 is the 3G wireless CPU, is example with TD-SCDMA, and it adopts USB to be connected before with application processor 1, and it can provide the speed up to 12Mbps, can satisfy the needs of the miscellaneous service of 3G fully.
Application processor 1 links to each other with USB master controller 5 through part address wire, data wire, and when write signal was effective, main control chip/application processor 1 write control word or data through address and data wire to the inside of USB master controller 5 memory cell; When read signal was effective, main control chip/application processor 1 was read status word or data through address and data wire from the inside memory cell of USB master controller 5.Certainly, can also adopt dma mode to carry out the transmission of data between the two, this need add in DMA control chip or the main control chip/application processor 1 and carry this function.
In Fig. 2, also need add USB switching circuit of power supply 5 between USB master controller 5 and the USB slave controller 6, to accomplish the supply of voltage.When the power supply of USB master controller 5 enabled to be 1, USB switching circuit of power supply 7 was to USB slave controller 6 output high level.The function of overcurrent protection is provided if desired; We need add in a current foldback circuit or the main control chip/application processor 1 and carry this function; Promptly can monitor the size of current between USB master controller 5 and the USB slave controller 6 at the over-current detection pin of USB master controller 5 like this; When electric current surpasses usb protocol setting: 100mA or 500mA, open circuit, with protection USB master controller 5 and USB slave controller 6.In addition, D+ between USB master controller 5 and the USB slave controller 6 and D-are differential signal line, the interference in the time of can reducing high-speed transfer.
In addition, the mode of same main control chip/application processor 1 of the mode of main control chip/3G wireless baseband processors 21 and USB slave controller 6 and USB master controller 5.Expand more wireless baseband processors on this basis, can adopt hardware connection mode same among Fig. 2.
(3) in addition; If 3G wireless baseband processors 21 adopts self-powered USB mode; USB master controller 5, USB switching circuit of power supply 7 and power supply enable pin between the two and over-current detection pin can omit so; 2 pins of minimum needs of application processor like this: D+ holding wire and D-holding wire; Just can connect maximum 127 wireless baseband processors, significantly reduced the consumption of hardware pin, and the application processor pin is a very rare resource in the hardware designs of mobile phone.
The 3rd step, schematic illustration bus referenced drive of the present invention execution mode:
Adopt bus connecting method to realize that the referenced drive theory diagram of the many CPU communications of multi mode terminal is as shown in Figure 3, the driving of USB master control end can be divided into three layers, is respectively that the USB device class drives USBD and HCD from top to bottom.Wherein the back is two-layer is exactly to belong to USB HOST to drive.
Can see that from figure it is final and the mutual software module of application program that the USB device class drives, its main function has: visit specific USB device, for application program provides access interface etc.To different wireless baseband processors, the USB device class drives different.
USBD is exactly that USB drives, and it can be described as the core that whole USB drives.It mainly is responsible for: usb bus management, usb bus equipment and usb bus Bandwidth Management, the interface of usb data transmission etc. is provided.Wherein, USB root HUB is a kind of USB device in fact, but as a kind of special USB device, its driving also realizes at the USBD layer.To different wireless baseband processors, the USBD layer is general.
HCD drives to the USB master controller, and it will be directly mutual with USB HOST controller hardware.Its major function has: the initialization of master controller hardware, for USBD the corresponding interface function is provided, realize to root HUB configuration of devices with control, accept transmission from USBD URB request, completion data.
Combine three steps of front at last, can find out the invention provides a kind ofly provides the transfer of data of high-speed multiple channel and is easy to expand the multi mode terminal method for designing between multi mode terminal multiprocessor CPU.
