Detailed Description
In order to provide a unified Flash operation method among various operating systems, so that application layer software can call Flash through a unified interface and adopt the same way to operate Flash, the embodiment of the invention provides a Flash operation method and a Flash operation device based on an embedded system, and the following description is combined with the attached drawings of the specification to describe the preferred embodiment of the invention.
In the Flash memory operation method based on the embedded system in the embodiment of the invention, a Flash adaptation processing module is added between the Linux and UCOS operation systems and the application module, so that a set of standard adaptation operation interfaces are provided for the upper application module, and Flash is operated and managed uniformly. In a Linux system, a physical address which is indicated to be operated by an application layer corresponds to a file in the Linux system, and Flash is correspondingly operated according to a file mode; in the UCOS system, the physical address which is indicated to be operated by the application layer is sent to Flash in the system, and the Flash is directly operated according to the physical address.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, the software of the embedded platform product is designed in a layered and modular manner, as is the design of the Flash software. The driver layer above the hardware processes the operation of Flash according to the difference of the operating system, compared with the UCOS operating system, the Linux operating system introduces MTD, divides the Flash device driver into four layers from bottom to top, and sequentially becomes the hardware driver layer (namely the Flash original driver 190): the Flash hardware device is responsible for reading, writing and erasing operations of the Flash hardware device; MTD primal device layer 180: the method mainly comprises two parts, wherein one part is general codes of MTD original equipment, and the other part is data of each specific Flash, such as partitions; MTD device layer: based on the MTD original equipment, the Linux operating system can define MTD character equipment 160 and MTD block equipment 170 to form an equipment layer; the equipment node: the character device node 140 and the block device node 150 are established under the/dev subdirectory by the mknod, and the user can access the MTD character device and the block device by accessing the device nodes. The Flash adaptation processing module 110 in the embodiment of the present invention is located in the middle layer, is located between the application layer 100 and different embedded platforms (i.e., the UCOS system and the Linux system), and provides a set of standard adaptation operation interfaces for upper layer applications in a modular manner.
Referring to fig. 2, the Flash adaptation processing module mainly provides four types of interfaces for the application layer, but is not limited to these four types, and then the standard adaptation operation interface may be continuously developed according to the needs of the application layer. The four interfaces are respectively a version information interface for checking a Flash adaptation driving module, a Flash information interface for acquiring block information such as the total size, the block size and the total number of the Flash, an initialization interface for initializing and configuring a Flash operation mode, and an operation interface for reading, writing and erasing the Flash. The process of performing initialization configuration includes steps 2000 to 2005, and the process of performing read/write and erase operations includes steps 2010 to 2015, and a specific process of performing operations such as read, write, and erase on the Flash memory by the Flash adaptation processing module is described below.
Referring to fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present invention, a specific process of operating the Flash memory by the Flash adaptation processing module is as follows:
step 300: the Flash adaptation processing module receives a Flash operation request initiated by an application layer, wherein the Flash operation request carries an operation instruction, operation address information and an operation mode.
Specifically, before receiving a Flash operation request initiated by an application layer, system configuration needs to be performed, and the Flash adaptation processing module provides an initialization interface for calling the application layer. When the application layer calls the initialization interface, the system starts initialization operation, acquires a preset operation mode and judges whether the operation mode is operated according to a file mode or a physical address mode; in specific implementation, the Flash adaptation processing module sets the operation mode of the blocks corresponding to all Flash physical addresses, specifically sets the Flash blocks in the Linux system to operate in a file mode, and represents the Flash blocks by a number of '1'; the Flash block in the UCOS system is set to operate in a physical address mode, represented by the number "0". A user can set a preset operation mode to an operation mode corresponding to the current operating system according to the currently used operating system, for example, if the currently used operating system is a Linux system, the user sets the preset operation mode to operate in a file mode in advance; if the UCOS system is currently used, the user sets a preset operation mode to operate according to a physical address mode in advance; if two operating systems need to be used simultaneously, one operating system is initialized and the other operating system is initialized according to any sequence, for example, a Linux system is initialized, the operating mode of the Linux system is set to operate in a file mode, a UCOS system is initialized, and the operating mode of the UCOS system is set to operate in a physical address mode.
When the operation mode is determined to be operated according to a file mode, because an MTD (maximum Flash Interface, CFI) of a Common Flash Interface is introduced into a Linux system, block information of Flash needs to be acquired from MTD information, after a file storage path for subsequent operations such as writing, erasing and the like is established, MTD information of the Flash is acquired, and block information is configured according to the MTD information; when the operation mode is determined to be operated according to the physical address mode, the block information of the flash memory can be directly obtained from the CFI information, and the block information can be directly configured according to the CFI information; the block information is used for indicating the block number, the starting address and the block size of each block, and the block is a minimum unit for indicating data storage in the flash memory; in practical application, one Flash is composed of a plurality of blocks with the same size, wherein the block size can be configured manually, or the block size indicated in CFI information or MTD information can be adopted, each block is numbered in sequence, and each block corresponds to the first address thereof.
After the system initialization stage is completed, the Flash adaptation processing module receives a Flash operation request initiated by an application layer, where the Flash operation request carries an operation instruction, operation address information, and an operation mode, where the operation instruction is used to indicate what kind of operation is performed on Flash, such as reading, writing, or erasing.
Step 310: and judging whether the operation mode is operated in a file mode or a physical address mode.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the Linux system operates in a file manner, and the UCOS system operates in a physical address manner, but the Linux system is not limited to the two operating systems, and other operating systems that operate in a file manner or in a physical address manner are also within the scope included in the embodiment of the present invention. The Flash adaptation processing module acquires an operation mode of Flash to be read, written or erased from the Flash operation request, wherein the operation mode is set during initialization, if the operation mode is 1, the Flash adaptation processing module operates in a file mode, and if the operation mode is 0, the Flash adaptation processing module operates in a physical address mode.
Step 320: and when the operation mode is determined to be the operation according to the file mode, the Flash adaptation processing module continuously judges whether a file corresponding to the address interval indicated by the operation address information exists in the Flash memory, if so, the file is correspondingly operated according to the operation instruction, otherwise, the file is created corresponding to the address interval, and the created file is correspondingly operated according to the operation instruction.
Specifically, when the operation mode is determined to be the operation according to the file mode, whether a file corresponding to the address interval indicated by the operation address information exists in the flash memory is judged, that is, the address interval is determined according to the initial physical address and the end physical address carried in the operation address information; and determining the block number of each block covered by the address interval according to the block information, and judging whether the flash memory has a file corresponding to the block number of each covered block. For example, the block size of Flash is 64k, Flash input operation address information is written in, wherein the starting physical address is 0x10000, the ending physical address is 0x30000, the Flash adaptation processing module inquires an address interval from the starting physical address to the ending physical address according to the block size indicated in the block information during initialization, and the block numbers of all blocks covered by the address interval are the 2 nd block and the 3 rd block, so that whether a file corresponding to the block number exists in Flash is judged; these files may be normally commanded with the block number, in which case the file names of the corresponding files are "file _ 2" and "file _ 3".
And if the file corresponding to the block number of each block exists, performing corresponding operation on the file according to the operation instruction. For example, a write operation is performed on the files with the file names "file _ 2" and "file _ 3" described above.
If the file corresponding to the block number of each block does not exist, establishing the file corresponding to the address interval, and the specific steps are as follows: determining the block number of each block covered by the address interval, creating a file corresponding to each block in each block, and naming the created file by adopting the block number of each block. For example, when there is no file corresponding to the block number of each block covered by the address section in Flash, if the block numbers of the covered blocks are determined to be the 5 th to 7 th blocks, three files having file names "file _ 5", "file _ 6", and "file _ 7" are created corresponding to the 5 th to 7 th blocks.
After the files are created, corresponding reading, writing or erasing operations are carried out on the created files.
The steps are completed when the operation mode is according to the file mode, the application layer inputs the physical address of the Flash to be operated, the physical address is corresponding to the file in the Linux system, and the operation mode of the physical address is simulated by adopting the files, so that the files are directly operated correspondingly. Therefore, the method can be operated in the same way as the UCOS system, namely, the physical address of the Flash to be operated is input from the application layer, so that the physical address of the Flash to be operated can be correspondingly operated, and in the Linux system, the physical address of the Flash to be operated input from the application layer is corresponding to a file in the Linux system, and then the file is correspondingly operated, namely, the physical address of the section corresponding to the file is correspondingly operated.
Step 330: and when the Flash adaptation processing module determines that the operation mode is the operation according to the physical address mode, performing corresponding operation according to the operation instruction and the address interval indicated by the operation address information.
Specifically, when the operation mode is determined to be the operation according to the physical address mode, the Flash is correspondingly operated according to the operation instruction and the address interval indicated by the starting physical address and the ending physical address. For example, the block size of Flash is 64k, the operation address information input by Flash is read, wherein the starting physical address is 0x40000, the ending physical address is 0x50000, and the Flash adaptation processing module reads the data in the address interval from 0x40000 to 0x50000, namely the 5 th block, according to the Flash read directly indicated by the operation instruction.
Before the corresponding operation is introduced to the file or block in the address interval, the actual structure of the Flash memory is introduced, a plurality of blocks exist in one Flash memory, the embedded platform processes binary data which only consists of 0 and 1, the data to be stored in the Flash is also binary, in the operation to the Flash, only 1 can be written into 0, but not 0 can be written into 1, therefore, before the Flash is written into, the erasing operation is firstly carried out, namely, the content in the Flash is completely changed into 1, in the writing operation, only the bit of 0 can be written into when the writing operation is carried out. The minimum unit of an erase operation is a block, i.e., at least one block is erased at a time.
When the application layer calls the operation interface for reading, writing or erasing, the Flash adaptation processing module also processes according to different operation modes.
When the operation mode is determined to be the operation according to the file mode, performing corresponding operation on the file according to the operation instruction, specifically: and reading, writing or erasing the data in the file corresponding to each block covered by the address interval according to the operation instruction.
Specifically, if the operation instruction indicates to perform a reading operation, reading data stored in a file corresponding to each block covered by the address interval; for example, when the block size is 64k, if the application layer needs to read data in an address interval 0x00000 to 0x20000 in the linux system, the Flash adaptation processing module reads data stored in files corresponding to blocks covered by the address interval, that is, files named "file _ 1" and "file _ 2" corresponding to the 1 st block and the 2 nd block, by using a uniform operation interface.
If the operation instruction indicates to perform writing operation, writing the data to be written into the file corresponding to each block covered by the address interval; for example, when the block size is 64k, if the application layer is to write data in an address interval 0x00000 to 0x20000 in the linux system, the Flash adaptation processing module writes data stored in files corresponding to blocks covered by the address interval, that is, files named "file _ 1" and "file _ 2" corresponding to the 1 st block and the 2 nd block, by using a uniform operation interface.
If the operation instruction indicates to perform an erasing operation, erasing data in the file corresponding to each block covered by the address interval; when the block size is 64k, the application layer needs to read data in an address interval 0x00000 to 0x20000 in the linux system, and then, through the Flash adaptation processing module and by using a uniform operation interface, all the stored data in the files corresponding to the blocks covered by the address interval, namely the files named "file _ 1" and "file _ 2" corresponding to the 1 st block and the 2 nd block, are written to be 1.
And when the operation mode is determined to be the operation according to the physical address mode, reading, writing or erasing the data in each block corresponding to the address interval according to the operation instruction.
Specifically, if the operation instruction indicates to perform a read operation, data stored in each block corresponding to the address interval is read; for example, when the block size is 64k, if the application layer needs to read data in an address interval of 0x10000 to 0x20000 in the UCOS system, the Flash adaptation processing module reads the data stored in each block covered by the address interval, that is, the 2 nd block, by using a uniform operation interface.
If the operation instruction indicates to perform writing operation, writing the data to be written into each block corresponding to the address interval; for example, when the block size is 64k, if the application layer needs to read data in an address interval of 0x10000 to 0x20000 in the UCOS system, the Flash adaptation processing module uses a uniform operation interface to erase data stored in each block covered by the address interval, that is, the 2 nd block, and then performs a write operation.
If the operation instruction indicates to carry out erasing operation, erasing data stored in each block corresponding to the address interval; for example, when the block size is 64k, if the application layer wants to read data in an address interval 0x10000 to 0x20000 in the UCOS system, the Flash adaptation processing module uses a uniform operation interface to write all the stored data in each block covered by the address interval, i.e. the 2 nd block, to 1.
Therefore, the Flash of each operating system is operated by using a uniform interface.
The method and apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings using specific embodiments.
