Abstract

The invention discloses an equipment firmware upgrading method and device. The method comprises the following steps of: obtaining an equipment identifier of equipment bound with a user identifier and a corresponding firmware current version identifier in an instant messaging application or a light application; uploading the equipment identifier to a server and obtaining a firmware newest version identifier corresponding to the equipment identifier from the server; judging whether the firmware current version identifier corresponding to the equipment identifier is same as the firmware newest version identifiers or not, and if the judging result is negative, receiving and outputting prompt information which comprises firmware newest version information; and sending an upgrading instruction to the equipment bound with the user identifier to ensure that the equipment obtains a firmware upgrading file corresponding to the firmware newest version identification from the server according to the upgrading instruction and then carry out upgrading according to the firmware upgrading file. According to the equipment firmware upgrading method and device disclosed by the invention, upgrading is carried out on the equipment firmware through control of the user identifier, so that the operation is convenient and the equipment firmware upgrading can be remotely controlled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of software upgrades, in particular to a method and device for upgrading device firmware. Background technique [0002] The Internet of Things is a network that uses communication technologies such as local networks or the Internet to connect sensors, controllers, machines, people, and things to form things that are connected to each other and realize informatization, remote management control, and intelligence. With the development of the Internet of Things technology, more and more devices are added to the Internet of Things and become a node in the Internet of Things. In the Internet of Things, the operation of controlled devices requires basic firmware, which refers to the most basic and bottom-level working program of a system. The firmware of the device needs to be updated regularly due to the addition of services or bug fixes. [0003] The traditional upgrade method of device firmware is mainly to connect the...
