Problems solved by technology

In this way, in the process of erasing or writing, if the set-top box is powered off, or a data error occurs when erasing or writing, it will cause the ROM file to be upgraded to be read into the internal memory to be incomplete, so that the set-top box cannot complete the upgrade module. The upgrade of the system software and application software cannot be carried out normally, so that the set-top box cannot operate normally, the software upgrade efficiency of the set-top box is low, and the reliability of the operation of the set-top box is reduced.

Embodiment Construction

[0050] The technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0051] In the existing set-top box software upgrade method, if the upgrade module needs to be upgraded, it is necessary to perform erasure and write processing in the Flash corresponding to the upgrade module, so that power failure or data error occurs during the erase or write process. When this happens, the upgrade module cannot be upgraded, and the upgrade of the system software and application software cannot be carried out normally, causing the set-top box software upgrade effic...

Abstract

The invention discloses a set top box software upgrading method and a set top box. The method comprises the steps that data loading information of software in an upgrading module is obtained in advance, the obtained data loading information is packaged to be an ROM file, and the ROM file is burnt to the Flash partition of the set top box; an upgrading file is received; the ROM file which is burnt to the Flash partition of the set top box is read, and the read ROM is operated; the ROM in operation is triggered to analyze the received upgrading file, and an executable firmware formatted file comprising the upgrading module in the upgrading file is obtained; the analyzed executable firmware formatted file of the upgrading module is operated. By the application of the set top box software upgrading method and the set top box, grading efficiency of the software of the set top box can be improved, and reliability of operation of the set top box can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to digital television technology, in particular to a set-top box software upgrading method and the set-top box. Background technique [0002] With the development of digital TV technology, set-top boxes have become the main household appliances in many families, and the software and hardware versions of set-top boxes provided by set-top box manufacturers are gradually increasing. In order to meet the ever-increasing service demands of digital TV users, it is necessary to continuously update the set-top boxes in network operation. However, it is necessary to upgrade the set-top box software to open new services on the set-top box and to solve the defects of the set-top box software. One of the important issues that TV network operators need to face. [0003] The software of the set-top box is divided into functional modules, which can be divided into a boot (Boot) module, an upgrade (Loader) module, and an application (APP) softw...
