Problems solved by technology

The current BIOS POST process is designed for a specific hardware configuration. If you need to configure the BIOS for different embedded systems, you need to modify the source programs related to Chipset and SuperI / O in the POST process, and may even modify the entire program. The structure of the BIOS needs to be adjusted, which not only makes the development and configuration of the BIOS a lot of work, takes a long time, and is prone to errors

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Referring to Fig. 2~6, the present invention provides a kind of structural design method of POST in the embedded system of PC framework, is made up of following steps: (1) define data structure according to the data type and the operation type of Chipset and SuperI / O initialization information , format the initialization information as initialization data according to the definition; (2) store the initialization data in the initialization data table area; (3) use dynamic allocation for the start address of each group of data tables in the initialization data table area, and set the initialization data vector table Store the entry addresses of each group of data tables in sequence; (4) set the corresponding initialization subroutine according to the data structure of the initialization information. The POST process is actually composed of a series of detection work and some instruction sequences that write specific data into designated hardware registers. Except for the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for designing upper electric self-checking of a PC frame embedded system, which is formed by the following steps: (1) defining data structure by the data type and operation type of the Chipset and Super I / O initial information, formatting the initial information to initial data; (2) storing the initial data into the initial data form; (3) adopting dynamic allocation to each group of data form initial address of the initial data form area, arranging initial data vector list to store the inlet address of each group of data form; (4) arranging the corresponding initial subprogram by the initial information data structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer development, in particular to a design method for power-on self-check in an embedded system with PC architecture. Background technique [0002] Embedded computer systems can have different architectural forms with different application methods. Embedded computers with PC architecture, because they use the same hardware structure, software operating system and software development platform as standard PCs, are easy to develop and have abundant application program design resources, so they occupy an increasing share in embedded systems, especially It has been widely used in industrial control and military fields. [0003] Unlike consumer electronic products with no operating system and single function, the structure of embedded computers with PC architecture is derived from PC (personal computer), and its functions are complex. Initializing hardware and booting the operating system are still controlled by B...
