Embodiment 1

[0039] A method for silently upgrading device firmware provided in this embodiment is shown in the attached Figure 1-2 shown.

[0040] A method for silently upgrading device firmware, comprising the following steps:

[0041] Step S100, perform firmware upgrade on a single device, so as to verify the correctness of the firmware upgrade package.

[0042] Specifically include the following steps:

[0043] Step S110, the upgrade checker adds a firmware upgrade package and adds label information and rule information to the firmware upgrade package. When performing firmware upgrade for a single device, the device ID list in the rule information has only one device ID.

[0044] The label information includes: the upgradeable hardware version number and software version number of the firmware upgrade package, the MD5 check code of the firmware upgrade package, whether the firmware upgrade package has been verified to be correct and the storage address of the firmware upgrade packag...

Embodiment 2

[0064] A method for silently upgrading device firmware provided in this embodiment is shown in the attached image 3 shown.

[0065] Specifically, a method for silently upgrading device firmware provided in this embodiment basically adopts the same steps as those in Embodiment 1 above.

[0066] The difference is that: in step S110, when performing firmware upgrade for a single device, the device identification code list includes the device identification codes of all devices to be upgraded.

[0067] In step S130, the upgrade transfer terminal reads a device identification code in the device identification code list, and sends the upgrade information to the device corresponding to the device identification code.

[0068] A device identification code acquisition rule is: the first device identification code in the device identification code list, or the last device identification code in the device identification code list, or a random device identification code in the device i...

Embodiment 3

[0071] A silent upgrade system for device firmware, comprising:

[0072] An upgrade checker, the upgrade checker will check the rule table of the firmware upgrade package every time period T, and judge whether the rules are valid, and send the firmware upgrade package and the upgrade information corresponding to the effective rules to the upgrade buffer;

[0073] An upgrade buffer terminal, the upgrade buffer terminal receives the firmware upgrade package and the upgrade information, and sends the firmware upgrade package and the upgrade information to the upgrade transfer terminal;

[0074] Upgrade the transfer terminal, and the upgrade transfer terminal sends the upgrade information to the corresponding device according to the device identification code in the rule information of the firmware upgrade package;

[0075] The device, the device receives the upgrade information, and when the upgrade information meets the first preset condition, the device downloads the firmware u...
