Problems solved by technology

[0005] First of all, after the software is upgraded, it is necessary to manually judge whether the supporting relationship between the current FW version and the upgraded software meets the requirements, which is prone to errors; secondly, when the software is not compatible with the current FW version, it is necessary to manually download the upgrade package and upgrade tool To upgrade, the operation complexity is high

Abstract

The invention discloses a firmware updating method and device, and belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment. The method comprises the following steps: on the basis of a software upgrade package, upgrading software, wherein the software upgrade package at least comprises the FW (Firmware) mating relationship description file, the FW upgrading data and the FW upgrading tool of the software; after the software is successfully upgraded, obtaining a version number of current FW; according to the version number of the current FW and upgraded software information, inquiring the FW mating relationship description file to judge whether the version of the current FW and the upgraded software conform to the mating relationship; and when the version of the current FW and the upgraded software do not conform to the mating relationship, calling the FW upgrading data and the FW upgrading tool to upgrade the current FW. The firmware updating method and device can automatically identify which FWs need to be upgraded, automatically carries out an upgrading process, does not need manual intervention and can lower FW upgrading complexity and shorten FW upgrading time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, in particular to a firmware upgrading method and device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of electronic equipment technology, the software update speed is also faster and faster, and because some updated software can only be compatible with certain FW (Firmware, firmware) versions, when the updated software is compatible with the current When the FW version of the electronic device is incompatible, it may cause many unpredictable problems. Therefore, after the software is upgraded, the incompatible FW needs to be upgraded. [0003] At present, FW upgrades are mostly implemented manually. The specific method can be: after the software is upgraded, manually query the FW version number of the current electronic device, and check the current FW version according to the "Software and Hardware Version Matching Table" issued by the software provider. No. and the upg...
