Embodiment Construction

[0034] Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for refreshing firmware and an electronic device, which solves the technical problem that the method for refreshing firmware in the prior art is relatively complicated.

[0035] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to solve the relatively complicated technical problem of the above-mentioned method of refreshing the firmware, the general idea is as follows:

[0036] When the firmware on the electronic device is in a damaged state, first control the data interface to be in a working state;

[0037] Then, the first data in the storage device connected to the data interface is obtained, the first data includes recovery data that can restore the firmware from a damaged state to a normal state;

[0038] Finally, based on the first data, the firmware is refreshed, so that the firmware recovers from a damaged state to a normal state, so that the electronic device can operate normally, t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for refreshing firmware and electronic equipment. The method is applied to the electronic equipment, wherein the electronic equipment is provided with the firmware and comprises a data interface. The method comprises the following steps that when the firmware is in a damaged state, the data interface is controlled to be in a work state; first data in storage equipment connected with the data interface is obtained, and the first data comprises recovery data capable of recovering the firmware from the damaged state to the normal state; the firmware is refreshed on the basis of the first data, so the firmware is recovered from the damaged state to the normal state.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electronic technology, in particular to a method for refreshing firmware and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] Electronic devices such as desktop computers and notebook computers all include a firmware, which can be BIOS (Basic Input Output System) or UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). It is the most important basic input and output program, system setting information, self-test program after power-on and system self-starting program for electronic equipment such as desktop computers and notebook computers, and provides the lowest and most direct hardware setting and control for electronic equipment. [0003] But in the prior art, the firmware is very prone to failures. For example, in order to solve some problems in the current firmware version, such as not supporting certain hardware, or having some BUG, ​​etc., the method of refreshing the firmware version is often used to update the...
