Method for upgrading FPGA configuration file and related device

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for upgrading an FPGA configuration file. The method comprises the following steps: connecting a local side server; various versions of FPGA configuration files are stored in the local side server; querying the version state of the FPGA configuration file in the FPGA equipment from the local side server; when the FPGA configuration file has an updated version, acquiring the updated version of the FPGA configuration file from the local side server; and refreshing the updated version of the FPGA configuration file into a flash memory chip of the FPGA equipment. According to the method, automatic upgrading of the FPGA equipment can be realized, the upgrading efficiency is effectively improved, and the labor cost is reduced. The invention further discloses a device and equipment for upgrading the FPGA configuration file and a computer readable storage medium which all have the technical effects.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of firmware upgrade, in particular to a method for upgrading an FPGA configuration file; it also relates to a device, equipment and a computer-readable storage medium for upgrading an FPGA configuration file. Background technique [0002] FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array, Field Programmable Gate Array) has the characteristics of programmable and hardware parallelism, and is usually used in high-performance data processing and other fields. One of the advantages of FPGA is that it can repeatedly load new configuration files, implement new functions or fix errors in existing programs, update the FPGA configuration files, and the new functions will start to increase in efficiency. [0003] At present, the solutions for upgrading the FPGA configuration file mainly include: 1. The PC directly loads the FPGA device through the JTAG download line. The PC writes the FPGA configuration file into the FPG...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, no matter what kind of upgrade solution, more manual intervention is required. Every time the FPGA configuration file is upgraded, the FPGA configuration file needs to be manually copied to the flash connected to the CPU or programmed into the flash connected to the FPGA through JTAG. , you need to manually select the FPGA configuration file, and manually complete the flash upgrade

Due to the need for manual participation, not only the upgrade efficiency is low, but also the labor cost will be increased
