Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the above methods cannot provide sufficient security for new firmware image files, and are also vulnerable to security issues while the user is performing the update operation
Specifically, most of the DOS images and firmware files required to update the firmware are downloaded and transmitted to users through the Internet, such a process will be exposed to image viruses, and there is also a risk of file corruption during the process of downloading, copying, or transferring files
[0007] In addition, it is inconvenient for the user to perform the update operation on the DOS system through a separate boot device instead of in the operating system environment that the user is already using
