Abstract
Description
本發明涉及通信領域，更具體地說，涉及一種軟體升級方法、系統及主動式DP纜線。 The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more specifically, to a software upgrade method, system, and active DP cable.
為了避免信號在傳輸過程中由於傳輸介質損耗而導致輸入信號的衰減，現在經常使用主動式DP纜線(Active DP Cable)傳輸信號。主動式DP纜線中嵌入信號轉發器Re-driver晶片，Re-driver晶片可以將由於傳輸介質損耗而導致衰減了的輸入信號進行頻率特性補償後再發送出去，以增強信號的抗干擾能力和遠距離傳輸能力。 In order to avoid the attenuation of the input signal due to the loss of the transmission medium during the transmission of the signal, now active DP cables are often used to transmit the signal. A signal repeater Re-driver chip is embedded in the active DP cable. The Re-driver chip can compensate the frequency characteristics of the input signal that has been attenuated due to the loss of the transmission medium before sending it out to enhance the anti-interference ability and long-distance of the signal. Distance transmission capability.
當信號轉發器安裝到主動式DP纜線中成為線材成品的一部分後，當信號轉發器中的固件需要升級時，就需要破壞掉線材成品並且把信號轉發器從線材成品中剝離出來，此後使用升級治具對信號轉發器進行升級。其中，固件是指寫入EROM(可讀寫唯讀記憶體)或EEPROM(電可擦可程式設計唯讀記憶體)中的程式。 When the signal repeater is installed in the active DP cable and becomes a part of the wire product, when the firmware in the signal repeater needs to be upgraded, the wire product needs to be destroyed and the signal repeater is stripped from the wire product, and then used The upgrade jig upgrades the signal repeater. Among them, firmware refers to programs written in EROM (read-only read-write memory) or EEPROM (electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory).
由於上述升級方法需要破壞掉線材成品並且把信號轉發器從線材成品中剝離出來，進而會導致原有的線材成品不能再使用，增加了生產成本。 Because the above upgrade method needs to destroy the finished wire and strip the signal transponder from the finished wire, the original finished wire can no longer be used, which increases the production cost.
有鑑於此，本發明提供一種軟體升級方法、系統及主動式DP纜線，以解決當需要對主動式DP纜線中的信號轉發器升級時，需要破壞掉線材成品並且把信號轉發器從線材成品中剝離出來，進而會導致原有的線材成品不能再使用，增加了生產成本的問題。 In view of this, the present invention provides a software upgrade method, system and active DP cable to solve the problem that when the signal transponder in the active DP cable needs to be upgraded, the finished product of the wire needs to be destroyed and the signal transponder removed from the wire Stripping out of the finished product will cause the original wire product to be unusable and increase the production cost.
