Prior art, with with the flash memory be storage medium equipment (for simplicity) to call slave computer in the following text in process of production, be to produce machine (for simplicity in special use, below claim host computer) on finish the curing process that solidifies firmware program, comprise the scanning in early stage.Whole process whole process is finished by PC control.Shown in Figure 2 is the slave computer production procedure of prior art.In scanning process, host computer can not be handled other affairs substantially, could further go to solidify proper firmware program after to be scanned the finishing such as the empty machine of needs.Along with the progress of semiconductor technology, the monolithic capacity of flash memory increases fast, has increased the reading writing working amount in the scanning process greatly; And MLC (Multi-Level Cell multilevel-cell structure) the extensive employing of technology has increased the storage density of flash memory exponentially, the time that complete scan a slice flash memory is spent is more and more longer, causes the slave computer output (production efficiency) in the unit interval more and more lower; Production cost, especially time cost significantly rises.
Summary of the invention
At above-mentioned the deficiencies in the prior art, the invention provides a kind of is the production procedure of the equipment of storage medium with the flash memory, can effectively help producer to reduce cost, enhance productivity.
For realizing above-mentioned technical purpose, the present invention adopts following technical scheme:
A kind of is the production procedure of storage medium with the flash memory, comprises the steps:
A, slave computer are connected to host computer, and host computer writes slave computer with control program;
B, slave computer scan Flash under the situation that breaks away from host computer, set up and preserve bad block table BBT (Bad BlockTable);
C, host computer solidify proper firmware program to slave computer according to the BBT that has stored in the slave computer, finish the production of slave computer.
Because among the present invention, the bad block scan in the slave computer is transferred to slave computer oneself and finished, and no longer takies the resource of host computer, the situation that the empty machine of host computer is waited for can not take place substantially.And slave computer only needs power supply can finish scanning process; As boosting productivity, only need increase the power supply that is equipped with right quantity and just can realize.Compared with prior art, improve the production quantity of the slave computer in the unit interval greatly, improved production efficiency greatly, reduced time and human cost, can realize the large-scale batch production of slave computer.
Description of drawings

Fig. 2 is the production procedure block scheme of prior art slave computer.
Fig. 3 is that the present invention is the production procedure block scheme of the equipment of storer with the flash memory.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing concrete grammar of the present invention being done one describes in detail.
Slave computer production of the present invention (being the mode of production) only refers to the scanning of the flash memory in the slave computer and solidifies firmware program, do not comprise the physics assembling.
The starting point of the present invention is the improvement to the mode of production under the conventional art, and tradition is waited for that by the empty machine of host computer the scan mode of finishing the slave computer flash memory changes slave computer scan mode voluntarily into.Be after slave computer breaks away from host computer, to have only under the situation of power supply, can realize scanning by self control chip.
Introduce the notion of bad block table BBT among the present invention, refer in particular in the flash memory set of records ends each " piece " fine or not situation.Slave computer is finished the been scanned to certain sheet flash memory, can set up the BBT of this sheet flash memory, can also set up a unified BBT with other flash memory in the slave computer.If needed, can also add significant character for BBT, and out of Memory such as proof test value.
Contrast Fig. 3, the present invention is that the production procedure of the equipment of storer comprises the steps: with the flash memory
Step 100: slave computer is connected to host computer, and host computer writes slave computer with control program;
Step 200: slave computer is having only self-scanning under the situation of power supply, sets up and preserve BBT;
Step 300: host computer solidifies suitable solidification software program to slave computer according to the BBT that has been stored in the slave computer, finishes the production of slave computer.
In the step 100, the control program of slave computer self is initialized as such flow process by host computer when control chip burning (or): the flash memory in the autonomous scanning device, and promptly discern the fine or not situation of wherein each " piece " and set up BBT.In case this control program or flow process are written in the control chip of slave computer, equipment can break away from host computer, only by electric power completing steps 200.
In the step 200, because flash memory itself promptly is a kind of non-volatile memory medium, one of its feature is that power down still can be preserved data wherein afterwards, so slave computer can be stored in BBT in the flash memory by certain rule, certain form after scanning flash memory, setting up BBT.If comprise other storage medium in the slave computer, also can be stored in other storage medium.
In theory, if be stored in the flash memory, can be stored in certain fixed position, but because flash memory itself has bad piece, therefore the preservation position of BBT had better not be placed on certain fixed position, and unalterable rules should be arranged, this rule indicate BBT the preservation position sequence (position 1, position 2 ..., position n).In a single day this rule is formulated, and subsequent step just can be sought BBT according to this rule.
In the step 300, the control chip of slave computer preservation rule is according to a preconcerted arrangement sought BBT, finds after the BBT, obtains the bad piece record case that can obtain in the flash memory.Slave computer is reported to host computer to the BBT content, and by PC control, the firmware program that solidifies slave computer is finished production, and avoids bad piece; Also can solidify proper firmware program according to the content of BBT by slave computer finishes from producing.
From top description as can be known, in the production run of slave computer, only take host computer, and that this two step takies the time compole of host computer is short in step 100,300.With respect to step 200, the time of these two required costs of step almost can ignore, and is especially true to jumbo flash memory.In step 200, because slave computer only needs power supply to get final product work, do not take any other resource of host computer, but so large-scale mass production slave computer.Compare than conventional art, though production stage has increased, but reduced production cost, the manufacturer need not to buy a large amount of host computers and employs a large amount of workmans, increase the power interface production of can magnifying, shortened the production time, the situation that host computer does not exist empty machine to wait for has substantially improved production efficiency greatly.In the step 200, the power interface of slave computer can be independent, also can multiplexing other interface interfaces such as (for example) USB.
In the practical application, each producer may be had nothing in common with each other to the concrete operations order of flash memory scanning, and what the technical program emphasis and application were protected is the division of logic step, including, but not limited to specific implementation step mentioned above.
