Electronic device and connection inspection method
An electronic device includes: a first circuit including: a transmission port through which data is transmitted; and a reception port through which data is received and configured to be able to perform data communication with a second circuit through the transmission port and the reception port, wherein the first circuit includes an inspection processor configured to determine whether a detection signal indicating that the second circuit is able to communicate with the first circuit has been detected when data communication with the second circuit is not possible and to determine whether a potential of a reception signal line connected between the reception port and the second circuit is in a state in which communication is possible when the detection signal has not been detected.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a first circuit comprising:
a transmission port through which data is transmitted;
a reception port through which data is received and configured to be able to perform data communication with a second circuit through the transmission port and the reception port; and
an input port other than the transmission port and the reception port,
wherein the first circuit comprises an inspection processor configured to determine whether a detection signal indicating that the second circuit is able to communicate with the first circuit has been detected by the input port when data communication with the second circuit is not possible by the transmission port and the reception port and to determine whether a potential of a reception signal line connected between the reception port and the second circuit is in a state in which communication is possible when the detection signal has not been detected.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the inspection processor determines that an abnormality has occurred in a communication line of the second circuit when the detection signal has been detected.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the inspection processor determines that an abnormality has occurred in connection between the first circuit and the second circuit when the potential of the reception signal line is not in the state in which communication is possible.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the inspection processor determines that an abnormality has occurred in the second circuit when the potential of the reception signal line is in the state in which communication is possible.
5. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first circuit includes shift registers that are connected to the transmission port and the reception port, and serial data communication is performed between the first circuit and the second circuit.
6. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first circuit is configured to be able to switch the same port between a function of the reception port and a function of the input port, and
wherein the inspection processor switches the function of the reception port to the function of the input port and determines whether the potential of the reception signal line is in the state in which communication is possible using the function of the input port.
7. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the inspection processor detects a source voltage detection signal indicating whether a source voltage of the second circuit is supplied and determines whether an abnormality has occurred in a power supply of the second circuit.
8. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the inspection processor outputs information indicating a determination result to an output.
9. A connection inspection method of detecting connection between a first circuit including at least
a transmission port through which data is transmitted and a reception port through which data is received,
a second circuit configured to be able to perform data communication through the transmission port and the reception port, and
an input port other than the transmission port and the reception port,
the connection inspection method comprising:
determining whether a detection signal indicating that the second circuit is able to communicate with the first circuit has been detected by the input port when data communication with the second circuit is not possible by the transmission port and the reception port; and
determining whether a potential of a reception signal line connected between the reception port and the second circuit is in a state in which communication is possible when the detection signal has not been detected.
10. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second circuit is outside of the electronic device.
11. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second circuit is provided inside of the electronic device.
12. A connection inspection method of detecting connection between a first circuit and a second circuit, the connection inspection method comprising:
transmitting data by a transmission port;
receiving data by a reception port;
determining whether a detection signal indicating that the second circuit is able to communicate with the first circuit has been detected by an input port other than the transmission port and the reception port when the first circuit is not possible to perform data communication with the second circuit; and
determining whether a potential of a signal line connected to the reception port is in a state in which communication is possible when the detection signal has not been detected.
