Exception handling system and method, and detection device for space environment

An exception handling method for a space environment, wherein a detection device, an interrupt controller and a to-be-detected storage device are provided in a spacecraft, and the exception handling method comprising:

• reading, by the detection device, statistical data from at least two registers of the to-be-detected storage device through an internal bus of the spacecraft, wherein the statistical data are generated and stored in the at least two registers through a statistical unit of the to-be-detected storage device, and the statistical unit is configured to read monitoring data from a specified position of the to-be-detected storage device, generate the statistical data based on the monitoring data and reference data written into the specified position in advance, and store the statistical data in the at least two registers;
• and wherein the reference data comprises data with a plurality of bits that have specified values, and after the statistical unit determines a number of bits that do not have the specified values in the monitoring data, the statistical data is generated based on the number of bits that do not have the specified values in the monitoring data and a total number of bits in the monitoring data;
• determining an exception detection result for the to-be-detected storage device based on the statistical data, wherein the exception detection result is configured to indicate a severity of a single-event upset in the to-be-detected storage device under an influence of particle radiation in a space environment;
• and
• generating an interrupt signal based on the exception detection result, and sending the interrupt signal to the interrupt controller, so that the interrupt controller performs an exception handling based on the interrupt signal,
• wherein before determining the exception detection result for the to-be-detected storage device based on the statistical data, the method further comprising:
• determining whether the statistical data stored in the at least two registers are consistent;
• and
• the determining the exception detection result for the to-be-detected storage device based on the statistical data comprises:
• in response to determining that the statistical data stored in the at least two registers are consistent, determining the exception detection result for the to-be-detected storage device based on the statistical data;
• and
• in response to determining that the statistical data stored in the at least two registers are inconsistent, re-reading monitoring data from the specified position, and re-generating statistical data based on the re-read monitoring data and the reference data.
