Method for realizing bootstrap automatic upgrade in intelligent equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for automatically upgrading a boot program in an intelligent device, which includes: a host computer obtains the inherent attribute information of the smart device, and saves the inherent attribute information in the storage space specified by the new version of the boot program; the host computer sends An intermediate firmware to the smart device, and replace the original firmware of the smart device with the intermediate firmware; the smart device runs the intermediate firmware; the upper computer sends the data of the new version of the boot program to the intermediate firmware; the intermediate firmware updates the new version of the boot program to The location space of legacy firmware. Adopting the method for realizing the automatic upgrade of the boot program in the smart device of the present invention, using the intermediate firmware to realize the automatic upgrade of the boot program, avoiding the original technical problems of having to return to the factory for disassembly and long transportation time, and at the same time not limited by time and place, the operation It is simple, free of cost, free from environmental constraints, improves user experience, and has a wider range of applications.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software online upgrade, in particular to the technical field of boot program upgrade, and specifically refers to a method for realizing automatic upgrade of boot programs in smart devices. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology in modern society, various types of electronic equipment products are produced on a large scale, and various firmware upgrade methods are also emerging in an endless stream, but it is difficult to upgrade and maintain the program of the boot firmware (that is, the boot program BOOT), which is often used. It is to return the equipment to the factory for disassembly, assembly and maintenance, which leads to the risk of device damage. At the same time, due to time and place constraints, it needs to be transported back and forth between the manufacturer and the customer, and requires professionals to operate. The process is cumbersome and the cost ...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] With the development of science and technology in modern society, various types of electronic equipment products are produced on a large scale, and various firmware upgrade methods emerge in an endless stream, but it is difficult to upgrade and maintain the program of the boot firmware (ie, the boot program BOOT). It is to return the equipment to the factory for disassembly, assembly and maintenance, which will cause the risk of device damage. At the same time, due to time and place constraints, it needs to be transported back and forth between the manufacturer and the customer, and requires professionals to operate. The process is cumbersome and the cost of maintenance needs to be borne. The maintenance cost is directly proportional to the number of equipment. If it is a small amount of maintenance, if it is a batch maintenance upgrade, then the factory will bear huge pressure and various costs, and the user experience effect is poor, which is obviously not in line with the later stage of electronic equipment.
