Problems solved by technology

This is not conducive to upgrading and saving costs and resources
[0005] In addition, due to the constraints of various chip solutions, the existing upgrade methods cannot achieve cross-platform. Each manufacturer must apply an upgrade method that meets its own chip solutions, which greatly reduces the flexibility and freedom of upgrades.

Embodiment Construction

[0053]The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0054] The upgrading principle of the set-top box upgrading method of the present invention is described here.

[0055] The software part of the embedded system mainly includes BootLoader, kernel and file system.

[0056] BootLoader is the first piece of software code that runs when the hardware system is powered on. However, since embedded systems generally do not have firmware like the BIOS in personal computers (Personal Computers, PCs), the loading process of th...

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention disclose a set-top box software upgrading method and a set-top box. The method comprises the following steps: detecting and acquiring upgrade triggering information; judging whether the manufacturer code, hardware version, software type and software version in the upgrade triggering information are consistent with corresponding information of a set-top box or not; if the manufacturer code, hardware version, software type and software version in the upgrade triggering information are judged to be consistent with the corresponding information of the set-top box, downloading upgrade data corresponding to the software version; and updating the software of the set-top box according to the upgrade data. By implementing the embodiments of the invention, the upgrade reliability and stability are ensured in a plurality of ways, cost can be saved, the conventional front-end and terminal applications can be unified to free set-top box software upgrading from the limitations of various chip schemes, cross-platform upgrading is realized, any set-top box manufacturer and any front-end radio and television operator can use the software upgrading method, and the flexibility and degree of freedom of set-top box software upgrading are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of digital television, in particular to a method for upgrading software of a set-top box and the set-top box. Background technique [0002] With the in-depth development of digital technology and the popularization of digitalization, the digital development of radio and television has become an inevitable trend, and it is also an inevitable choice for the development of cable TV. Digital TV receivers (set-top boxes) are currently the mainstream mode of digital translation. With the development of the overall translation of the set-top box, the software functions of the set-top box are increasingly enhanced, and software upgrades and changes have become inevitable. Each operator must pursue regional characteristics, and there are differences in functions and applications. The needs of each market are individually customized. Therefore, for set-top box manufacturers, each market must redesign a set of systems,...
