Problems solved by technology

However, the network reporting function of the existing smart home can only upload data, but cannot realize remote firmware upgrade through the communication module, and cannot set the factory electronic control working parameters online
For example, the electromechanical control parameters of the factory settings are different between the cold zone and the tropical zone; if the air conditioner sold in the south is wrongly sold to the north, the air conditioner will not work well, and in order to deal with this situation, home appliance companies Can only be replaced at home, which increases the maintenance cost of the manufacturer

Abstract

The invention discloses a firmware upgrading method and an intelligent household electrical appliance. The method comprises the steps of sending negotiation information to an electric control board via a communication module when firmware upgrading information is received, wherein the communication module is connected with the electric control board through a serial port; by the electric control board, negotiating with the communication module based on the negotiation information and configuring serial port parameters determined through negotiation at the serial port; receiving an upgrading file sent by the communication module through the configured serial port; and upgrading based on the received upgrading file. When the firmware upgrading information is received, serial port parametersused for sending the upgrading data are obtained through negotiation between the communication module and the electric control board, and the serial port parameters are configured to the serial port to enable the electric control board to be able to receive the upgrading data based on the serial port parameters and to upgrade, so that remote upgrading of the electric control board through the communication module is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent terminals, in particular to a method for upgrading firmware and intelligent home appliances. Background technique [0002] At present, network home appliances are becoming more and more popular, and more and more home appliances are equipped with network communication modules (eg, WiFi modules), and the network communication modules are connected to the electric control boards of home appliances through serial ports, so that the home appliances have networking functions. In addition, a simple device control communication protocol is defined on the serial port connecting the communication module and the electric control board, so as to realize the function of the communication module controlling home appliances and home appliance data reporting. However, the network reporting function of the existing smart home can only upload data, but cannot realize remote firmware upgrade through the...
