AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, upgrading the boot loader program of small and lightweight MCUs is difficult and remote upgrades are not possible, resulting in high maintenance costs and the risk of losing important parameters.

Method used

The Boot Loader program upgrade array data is incorporated into the APP program upgrade file. The Boot Loader and APP programs are remotely upgraded in the single-sector MCU by connecting to the host computer or remote server through a single-sector MCU and performing CRC verification using a temporary data storage area.

Benefits of technology

It enables upgrades to the Boot Loader program without requiring a factory reset, reducing maintenance costs, expanding the applicability of single-sector MCUs, and improving upgrade capabilities.
