Control method and electronic equipment

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention disclose a control method and electronic equipment. The method comprises the steps that a first component of the electronic equipment reads a firmware file of the first component from a storage space of a first system of the electronic equipment, wherein the first system is used for guiding and starting the electronic equipment; and the first component updates firmwarein the first component based on the firmware file.

Description

technical field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to, but are not limited to, electronic technologies, and in particular, relate to a control method and electronic equipment. Background technique

[0002] Firmware refers to the lowest-level program code that allows an electronic device or device component to operate. In the related art, there are three main ways to load or update firmware for the equipment parts of the electronic equipment: 1) add a read-only memory (Read-Only Memory, ROM) to the electronic equipment, PeripheralInterface, SPI) signal loads the firmware from the external ROM. This solution introduces the external ROM, which will cause additional hardware overhead; 2) The equipment component itself integrates the ROM. Board, because of the use of special material numbers, this solution will cause the problem of dull materials and is not universal; 3) Store the firmware file in the ROM of the embedded controller (Embedded Controller, EC)...
