Embodiment 1

[0042] This embodiment provides a method for online configuration of device firmware, which can realize online configuration of device firmware, has strong compatibility and is convenient for management and development. The method can be executed by an online device firmware configuration device (also can be understood as a firmware configuration platform), and the device firmware online configuration device can communicate with the device through the technology of the Internet of Things, that is, the device is an IoT (The Internet of Things, Internet of Things) device, for example Air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and other electrical equipment. When the device needs to perform firmware configuration (such as initial configuration or upgrade update), it can send a configuration instruction to the device firmware online configuration device.

Embodiment 2

[0077] This embodiment describes the online configuration solution of device firmware in conjunction with a specific example. However, it should be noted that this specific example is only for better illustrating the present application, and does not constitute an improper limitation to the present application. Explanations of terms that are the same as or corresponding to those in the foregoing embodiments will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0078] refer to figure 2 , only shows the configuration process of the cloud platform firmware, please refer to the text description below for the configuration process of other firmware.

[0079] 1. When the firmware configuration platform (also called the IoT platform) receives a configuration command, it enters the firmware judgment interface, and obtains the current firmware type to be configured from the configuration command. If it is cloud platform firmware, enter the cloud platform firmware interface. If it is motherboar...

Embodiment 3

[0095] Based on the same inventive concept, this embodiment provides an apparatus for online configuration of device firmware, which can be used to implement the method for online configuration of device firmware described in the foregoing embodiments. The device can be implemented by software and / or hardware, and the device can generally be integrated into a server.

[0096] image 3 It is a structural block diagram of the device firmware online configuration device provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention, as shown in image 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0097] Determining module 31, for determining the firmware type of the firmware to be configured currently according to the received configuration instruction;

[0098] An acquisition module 32, configured to acquire specified data corresponding to the firmware type from the data sent by the device;

[0099] The configuration module 33 is configured to automatically configure the current firmware to be confi...

Abstract

The invention discloses a device firmware online configuration method, device and system. Wherein, the method includes: determining the firmware type of the current firmware to be configured according to the received configuration instruction; obtaining the specified data corresponding to the firmware type from the data sent by the device; according to the configuration rule corresponding to the firmware type and the specified data, and automatically configure the current firmware to be configured to obtain a configuration file of the current firmware to be configured. The invention can realize online configuration of firmware, is compatible with firmware of various devices, is convenient for development and management, and improves development efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of firmware configuration, in particular to a method, device and system for online configuration of device firmware. Background technique [0002] A device generally has at least one kind of firmware. Taking air-conditioning equipment as an example, existing air-conditioning equipment firmware, such as cloud platform firmware, motherboard firmware, display board firmware, DTU (Data Transfer Unit, data transmission unit) module firmware, etc., generally have It is configured offline according to different unit models, versions, and communication protocols. Every time a new firmware needs to be compatible, a new firmware must be configured offline. The compatibility is poor and it is not easy to manage and develop. Contents of the invention [0003] Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, device and system for online configuration of device firmware to solve the problems of poor compat...
