Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method and a device for generating a firmware over the air (FOTA) upgrade pack, a software upgrade method and a mobile terminal. The method for generating the FOTA upgrade pack comprises the following steps of: generating transition software by comparing file names and binary formats of files in software of two versions to be upgraded in at least two versions to be upgraded; and generating the FOTA upgrade pack by comparing the file names and the binary formats of the files in the transition software and final version software. According to the technical scheme, the same FOTA upgrade pack can be used for upgrading a plurality of old versions by a provider of software versions, the requirement for upgrading a plurality of old versions of different mobile users to the latest versions through the FOTA upgrade pack is met, and the development and maintenance cost of the provider of the software versions is reduced at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, and more specifically, to a method and a device for generating a wireless firmware (Firmware Over The Air in English, FOTA for short) upgrade package. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, there are mobile terminals that are changing with each passing day. In order to satisfy people's pursuit of new things, mobile terminals are constantly expanding their functions. Because the software version of the mobile terminal is too old, it will affect the use of new functions, so the online upgrade function is also becoming more and more popular. The FOTA online upgrade (Update Online in English) function is used to upgrade the mobile terminal from an older version to a newer version wirelessly. The traditional production method produces a FOTA upgrade package according to the differences between the old version and the new version, so that users can ...
