Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for refreshing firmware, and belongs to the field of a smart device. The method comprises the steps of detecting whether access equipment which is connected with electronic equipment is drive-free equipment or not before a starting stage when the electronic equipment is in the starting stage; writing updated firmware in the access equipment in the electronic equipment if the access equipment is detected to be the drive-free equipment; operating the updated firmware which is written in the electronic equipment when the electronic equipment is in a normal operating stage after being restarted. According to the method and the device, disclosed by the invention, the problems that when a corresponding drive program is not installed in the electronic device, firmware in a dedicated SP (Self Propelled) flash tool cannot be read, and the refreshing on the firmware is failed can be solved, and the effects of simplifying a firmware refreshing process and increasing the firmware refreshing success rate can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of smart devices, in particular to a method and device for updating firmware. Background technique [0002] Firmware, as the most basic software in electronic equipment, ensures the normal operation of electronic equipment, but some external factors may cause firmware problems and affect the normal operation of electronic equipment. [0003] When there is a problem with the firmware of the electronic device, it is necessary to use a special brushing tool to refresh the firmware. When updating the firmware, usually a special flashing tool is connected to the electronic device, and the electronic device reads the firmware in the special flashing tool by running the driver program corresponding to the professional flashing tool, so as to refresh the original firmware. [0004] During the process of implementing the present disclosure, the discloser found that the above-mentioned method has at least the followin...
