Problems solved by technology

[0003] Usually, the hardware configuration data of FPGA and the application program data of DSP can be programmed into the external FLASH chip through the JTAG interface. The update of these two parts of program data can only be completed by means of the inherent communication interface of the product
In addition, the general parallel FLASH chip is relatively large in size, and the address lines and data lines occupy more PCB layout and routing resources. Therefore, this embedded system with FPGA / DSP+FLASH structure is not suitable for those with strict volume requirements. Applications

Abstract

A program updating method for an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) / DSP (Digital Signal Processor) embedded system, based on a special active serial figuration chip EPCS (Electronic Propulsion Control System), builds communication with an upper computer through an embedded soft-core processor NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) II so as to control and finish updating of FPGA hardware figuration data and DSP application program data of users. Compared with the traditional embedded system with an FPGA / DSP+FLASH structure, the method reduces the board level PCB wiring complexity and the system volume, and satisfies requirements for updating the FPGA hardware figuration data and the DSP application program data when a JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) interface is invisible after this kind of products are assembled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for updating programs of an embedded system with an FPGA / DSP architecture, and belongs to the technical field of software and hardware design for an embedded system with an FPGA / DSP architecture. Background technique [0002] As a typical embedded system, the embedded system of FPGA / DSP structure has strong logic control ability and computing ability, and it is used in many occasions such as military affairs, medical treatment, and industry. Usually, FPGA is used as the system control core to control the collection and processing of peripheral data and implement various communication protocols. DSP is the computing core of the system and is responsible for implementing the core algorithm of the system. It transmits data through EMIF and FPGA. [0003] Usually, the hardware configuration data of FPGA and the application program data of DSP can be programmed into the external FLASH chip through the JTAG interface. The u...
