Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The invention can be implemented in a number of ways different from those described herein and similar generalizations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

As described in the background art, currently, when an embedded chip having an encrypted area and a non-encrypted area is operated, there is a read-write conflict, and when the encrypted area is operated, the timeliness is poor. Therefore, the inventor proposes a method for accessing data of an encrypted area and an unencrypted area of a non-volatile memory of an embedded chip.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an embedded chip data access method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the embedded chip data access method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes:

s11: determining an access object according to an accessed target address, wherein the access object comprises: an encrypted area and an unencrypted area;

s12: and when the access object is an encryption area, executing the operation on the encryption area.

In this embodiment, specifically, the processor may directly access the data in the encrypted area and the unencrypted area, and execute S11, where the processor first determines, according to a target address that needs to be accessed by the external application, whether to access the data in the encrypted area (read or write) or the unencrypted area. Next, S12 is executed, and when the processor determines that access to the encrypted area is required, the access to the encrypted area is given a higher priority than the access to the unencrypted area, and the operation to the encrypted area is executed. Specifically, in this embodiment, step S12 may include:

the processor firstly judges whether the current operation is a non-encryption area operation or an encryption area operation, if the current operation is the non-encryption area operation, the current operation on the non-encryption area is suspended, and the operation on the encryption area is executed. In this embodiment, the suspending performing the current operation on the non-encryption area may include: suspending the operation on the non-encryption area, canceling the operation on the non-encryption area or setting the current operation on the non-encryption area as failure. That is, the priority of the operation on the encrypted area is higher than the priority of the operation on the non-encrypted area. In this embodiment, after the current operation on the non-encryption area is suspended, information associated with the operation needs to be stored, such as information of a requester provided by the operation, a type related to the operation, what data the operation relates to the non-encryption area is operated on, a size of the data needing to be operated on, and the like, so that the operation on the non-encryption area can be quickly continued after the operation on the encryption area is finished.

If the processor judges that the current operation is the operation on the encryption area, the operation on the encryption area needs to be executed according to the priority level of the operation on the encryption area. For example, if the current operation is writing to the encryption area, the processor receives an operation that needs to read the encryption area, if the priority of the operation of reading the encryption area is higher than that of the operation of writing to the encryption area, the operation of writing to the encryption area is suspended, the operation of reading to the encryption area is switched to be executed, and after the operation of reading to the encryption area is executed, the operation of writing to the encryption area is continued. In addition, in this embodiment, the processor may not receive the instruction for operating the non-encryption area when executing the operation on the encryption area. After the processor finishes executing the operation on the encryption area, the processor continues to execute the operation on the non-encryption area which is temporarily stopped.

In this embodiment, the access object is determined by the processor, and the processor determines to operate on different areas according to the priority of the access object. In other embodiments, a status query command may be sent to the processor by the upper application program, the current status of the processor is fed back by the processor, and a corresponding command is sent to the processor according to the status fed back by the processor, so as to control the operation of the processor on the encrypted area and the unencrypted area. As in other embodiments, the data access to the encrypted and unencrypted areas of the embedded chip non-volatile memory may include:

firstly, acquiring the current state of a processor; if the processor is executing the operation on the encryption area, the upper application program sends an instruction for suspending the execution of the operation on the non-encryption area to the processor, so that the processor suspends the execution of the current operation on the non-encryption area. If the processor does not receive the instruction sent by the upper layer application program to operate on the encryption area and the processor is in the operation of suspending the non-encryption area, the processor continues to execute the operation on the non-encryption area. In addition, if the processor feeds back that the upper layer application program is currently in an idle state, the upper layer application program may send an instruction for operating the encryption area or the non-encryption area, and after receiving the instruction, the processor may execute the operation on the encryption area or the non-encryption area.

In summary, the embedded chip data access method provided by the invention at least has the following beneficial effects:

determining an access object according to an accessed target address, wherein the access object comprises: an encrypted area and an unencrypted area; and when the access object is an encryption area, executing the operation on the encryption area. When the encrypted area needs to be operated, the operation on the encrypted area is directly executed, and the conflict that the encrypted area cannot be operated if the non-encrypted area is currently operated when the encrypted area and the non-encrypted area of the embedded chip nonvolatile memory are accessed is avoided. And as long as the current operation object is determined to be the encryption area, corresponding operation is carried out on the encryption area, so that the timeliness of the operation on the encryption area is improved to a great extent.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make variations and modifications of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention by using the methods and technical contents disclosed above.
