Embodiment 1

[0039] image 3 It is a schematic flowchart of a firmware upgrade method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and the method can be executed by a firmware upgrade system. Such as image 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0040] Step 301, when the control device detects that a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection is established with the device to be upgraded, enumerates the device to be upgraded as a USB flash drive, and displays the contents of the device to be upgraded under the directory of the USB flash drive Default link file.

[0041] Wherein, the preset link file includes preset URL information and current firmware version information of the device to be upgraded.

[0042] Exemplarily, the control device in the embodiment of the present invention may be a device such as a personal computer (Personal Computer, PC), a tablet computer, or a smart phone. The equipment to be upgraded can be production equipment, testing equipment, experimental equipment, pu...

Embodiment 3

[0073] Figure 5 It is a schematic flow chart of a firmware upgrade method provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The method can be executed by a firmware upgrade device. The device can be implemented by software and / or hardware, and generally can be integrated into a device with an upgrade function. Such as Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0074] Step 501, when it is detected that the device to be upgraded is enumerated as a USB flash drive by the control device, display the preset link file stored in the device to be upgraded in the directory of the USB flash drive.

[0075] Wherein, the preset link file includes preset website information and current firmware version information of the device to be upgraded, and the device to be upgraded communicates with the control device through a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection.

[0076] Step 502: When receiving the opening request sent by the control device for the preset link file, feed back the preset we...

Embodiment 4

[0081] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the framework of a firmware upgrade system provided by Embodiment 4 of the present invention, as shown in Figure 6 As shown, the system includes: a control device 61, a server 62 and a device to be upgraded 63;

[0082] The control device 61 includes:

[0083] The device enumeration module 611 is used to enumerate the device to be upgraded as a USB flash drive when it detects that a USB connection is established with the device to be upgraded, and display the device to be upgraded in the directory of the USB flash drive A preset link file in the device, wherein the preset link file includes preset URL information and current firmware version information of the device to be upgraded;

[0084]The server access module 612 is configured to acquire the preset URL information and access the corresponding server when monitoring the opening operation of the preset link file by the user, and send the current firmware version information to the...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a firmware upgrading method, device and system. The method comprises the following steps that when control equipment detects a USB connection is built between the control equipment and equipment to be upgraded, then the equipment to be upgraded is enumerated as a U disk, and also preset link files in the equipment to be upgraded are displayed in the catalogue of the U disk; when the control equipment detects the opening operation of users for the preset link files, preset web address information in the preset link files is obtained and the corresponding server is accessed, current firmware version information in the preset link files is sent to the server; when the server detects the existence of new-version firmware upgrade files according to the current firmware version information, download service of the firmware upgrade file is provided for the control equipment; the equipment to be upgraded receives the firmware upgrade files downloaded through the control equipment and the firmware upgrade operation is conducted on the equipment to be upgraded. According to the technical scheme, it is not needed that specific programs are installed on the control equipment; the firmware upgrade process can be simplified and the firmware upgrade efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of firmware upgrade, and in particular to a firmware upgrade method, device and system. Background technique [0002] Firmware (firmware) is generally stored in devices such as Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) or flash memory FLASH chips in the device, and usually refers to the software that is responsible for the most basic and bottom-level work of the device. [0003] Due to the continuous change of the functional requirements of the device or the defects of the firmware that need to be repaired, etc., it is often necessary to upgrade the firmware in the device. For safety or manufacturing cost considerations, many devices do not have networking capabilities, that is, they cannot access the Internet. For such devices that need to upgrade firmware, there are two traditional firmware upgrade methods as follows: First, On-site manual up...
