Abstract

The invention discloses a method and an apparatus for updating a firmware, and belongs to the interfacing technical field. The method comprises the steps of reading firmware version information of a digital accessory when the digital accessory access is detected, wherein the firmware version information is used for indicating the current firmware version of the digital accessory; detecting whether a target firmware exists or not according to the firmware version information, wherein the target firmware refers to a firmware, the version of which is different from that of the current firmware; if the target firmware exists, obtaining the target firmware; and updating the digital accessory based on the target firmware. According to the method disclosed by the invention, when the digital accessory access is performed, the current firmware version of the digital accessory can be read by a terminal; then whether a new version of firmware exists or not can be detected by comparison of the detected firmware version and the current firmware version; if the new version of firmware exists, the new version of firmware can be obtained so as to update the digital accessory; therefore, the automatic firmware updating method is provided; and the performance and the use effect of the digital accessory are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of interface technology, and specifically relates to a method and device for updating firmware. Background technique [0002] With the development of USB (Universal Serial Bus, Universal Serial Bus) interface technology, the USB interface standard has been upgraded to version 3.1, which has a more efficient data encoding system and provides higher data throughput. [0003] For example, a Type-C (Type-C) interface is a typical interface supporting USB 3.1 version. Since the Type-C interface supports all functions of the USB3.1 version, the application of the Type-C interface is becoming more and more extensive, and digital accessories with a Type-C interface appear. Of course, the digital accessory of the Type-C interface has firmware, that is, a program that realizes the basic functions of the digital accessory. For example, for a digital earphone with a Type-C interface, its firmware is used to realize the...
