Abstract

The invention provides a software upgrading method. The software upgrading method includes the steps of allowing a user to acquire an upgrade package containing version description created in preset format; decompressing the upgrade package to obtain the version description according to the user's upgrade instruction; acquiring the description belonging to the current version of a device and created in the preset format from the device to be upgraded; comparing the description of a new version to that of the current version and displaying comparison result; if the result is 'positive', transmitting new-version firmware in the upgrade package to the device to be upgraded and ending the upgrade; and if the result is 'negative', quitting the upgrade. The user can clearly know the condition of the upgrade version and determines to upgrade or not by the software upgrading method, so that inconvenience caused to the users by unnecessary upgrading or mistaken upgrading is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for creating a software upgrade package and a software upgrade method, in particular to a method for creating a software upgrade package and a method for software upgrade that prompt users for the difference between the new and old versions. Background technique [0002] After electrical products, such as PLC (Programmable logic Controller) etc. are put on the market, users often need to upgrade the firmware of these products to expand some functions and fix some bugs. These firmwares are usually upgraded by users themselves without company support. The information about the function introduction of the new version is generally only published on the Internet, and users need to download and read it by themselves. These firmware upgrade tools only provide the firmware version number, but do not provide any information about the upgrade version other than that. This makes it easy for the user to upgrade the vers...
