Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of network equipment development, and in particular to a mirror version updating method and a mirror version updating device, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the explosive development of Internet technology, the Internet has an increasingly strong demand for customized servers, switches and other equipment, which has led to the emergence of the JDM (Join Design Manufacture) model, in which customers are involved in joint development from the design and development process of the product.

[0003] For traditional products, the process goes from planning and development to realization, and then delivery to customers after mass production. However, in the JDM model, R&D is closely connected from the first day, and close development links need to be established, with customers deeply involved in the product development and delivery process.

[0004] During the development process, suppliers and customers each provide the corresponding development parts, and continuous iteration is required during the development process. Since some modules cannot provide source code, communication and confirmation of version updates between the two parties becomes a technical challenge. Often, due to inconsistent version baselines, the development progress is hindered or the maintenance efficiency is low. At this time, version confirmation between the two parties becomes a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0005] The current version management method under the joint development model, faced with a wide variety of firmware versions and related files, often relies on manual online or offline communication to confirm the consistency of the version environment of each device, and complete the transmission of the updated version through communication tools or emails. However, under manual communication, the efficiency of errors is relatively high. Often due to untimely communication or communication errors, the version updates of both parties are inconsistent, the problem location in the development process is hindered, and the development efficiency is affected; the existing automated version comparison technology solutions can only realize the version confirmation under unilateral development. For the joint development model, there is a lack of information exchange with the other party, and it is impossible to improve the efficiency of confirming the version baseline under the joint development model.

[0047] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 , shows a step flow chart of an embodiment of an image version update method of the present invention, the image version update method is applied to a terminal to be updated, the terminal to be updated is connected to an updated terminal through a version information server; the terminal to be updated and the updated terminal have the same initial version information; the version information server stores full version information.

[0049] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal to be updated is a terminal device that needs to update its own firmware version. The updated terminal is a terminal device that has developed a new firmware version. The version information server is connected to both the updated terminal and the terminal to be updated to interact with the updated terminal and the terminal to be updated respectively. The version information server stores all version information in the updated terminal and the terminal to be updated, that is, it stores the full version information. The full version information can be stored in the version information library, and the full version information newly added during each update is stored in the version information library. Each terminal device can upload basic version information including the image version number, the MD5 value of the version file, the version development compilation timestamp, the version upload timestamp, and the firmware image file to build a version information library. Among them, for the updated terminal and the terminal to be updated are the same type of terminal devices, such as servers, switches, etc.; the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the type of terminal device.

[0050] The image version update method may specifically include the following steps:

[0051] Step 101, receiving a version update request sent by the version information server during the joint development process with the updated terminal based on the initial version information; the version update request is generated by the version information server when receiving the updated version information released by the updated terminal;

[0052] When the updated terminal develops a new version, it will generate updated version information with the new version of the content file. The updated terminal will publish the generated updated version information to the version information server. The version information server receives the updated version information and stores it for subsequent acquisition by the terminal to be updated. When the version information server receives the updated version information, it will generate a version update request, which is used to indicate that the terminal to be updated has updated version information, and the terminal to be updated needs to update its own version information to achieve the same version as the updated terminal.

[0053] During the joint development process with the updated terminal based on the initial version information, the terminal to be updated monitors the version information server through interaction with the version information server and receives the version update request sent by the version information server to start the version update.

[0054] Step 102: acquiring the updated version information based on the version update request;

[0055] After receiving the version update request, the version update information is obtained from the version information server based on the information carried in the version update request.

[0056] Step 103, obtaining the full version information;

[0057] When obtaining version update information, you can also obtain full version information to determine the updated content.

[0058] Step 104, comparing the updated version information with the full version information to generate an image difference file;

[0059] After obtaining the updated version information and the full version information, the updated version information and the full version information may be compared to determine the updated portion of the updated version information relative to the full version information, and an image difference file may be generated based on the updated portion.

[0060] Step 105: perform incremental update using the image difference file.

[0061] After obtaining the mirror difference file, the updated part is updated using the mirror difference file, and the original information is kept for the part that has not been updated, thereby realizing incremental update. By using the mirror difference file for incremental update, the updated part is updated to improve the efficiency of the update.

[0062] The embodiment of the present invention receives a version update request sent by the version information server during the joint development process with the updated terminal based on the initial version information; the version update request is generated by the version information server when receiving the updated version information released by the updated terminal; obtains the updated version information based on the version update request; obtains the full version information; compares the updated version information with the full version information to generate a mirror difference file; and uses the mirror difference file for incremental update. When the updated terminal issues an update identifier, the terminal to be updated promptly obtains the file through the version information server for update, so that the two parties of development can effectively complete information exchange, promptly and accurately confirm the version environment baselines of both parties; ensure that the version information of the terminal devices of both parties is consistent during the development process of the joint development mode; improve the accuracy and timeliness of version update synchronization, and improve development efficiency.

[0063] Reference Figure 2 , shows a step flow chart of another mirror version update method embodiment of the present invention, the mirror version update method is applied to a terminal to be updated, the terminal to be updated is connected to an updated terminal through a version information server; the terminal to be updated and the updated terminal have the same initial version information; the version information server stores full version information.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present invention, the application and the terminal to be updated are terminal devices that need to update their own firmware versions. The updated terminal is a terminal device with a new firmware version developed. Both the terminal to be updated and the updated terminal are connected to the version information server and can independently interact with the version information server for data. The version information server stores the full version information released during the entire development process.

[0065] The image version update method may specifically include the following steps:

[0066] Step 201, during the joint development process with the updated terminal based on the initial version information, receiving a version update request sent by the version information server; the version update request is generated by the version information server when receiving the updated version information released by the updated terminal; the version update request includes a version identifier, and the version identifier is associated with the updated version information;

[0067] When the terminal to be updated monitors the version information server for a version update request during the development process based on the initial version information and the updated terminal, it receives the version update request sent by the version information server. The version update request is generated by the version information server when it receives the updated version information issued by the updated terminal.

[0068] The version update request includes a version identifier, which is identification information between updated version information, and the updated version information is associated with the version identifier. Each version has a unique version identifier, which can be a combination of multiple different characters or a single character, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0069] Step 202: acquiring the updated version information based on the version update request;

[0070] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the version update request is obtained, the update version information is obtained based on the version identifier in the version update request.

[0071] Specifically, the step of obtaining the updated version information based on the version update request may include the following sub-steps:

[0072] Sub-step S2021, determining the updated version information from the version information server based on the version identifier;

[0073] In actual applications, the updated version information is stored in a version information server. To this end, the updated version information can be determined from the version information stored in the version information server based on the version identifier and according to the association between the version identifier and the updated version information.

[0074] Sub-step S2022, obtaining the updated version information.

[0075] After the updated version information is determined, the updated version information is obtained and the terminal to be updated downloads it to its own storage space.

[0076] Step 203, obtaining the full version information; the full version information includes multiple sub-version information;

[0077] When obtaining updated version information, you can also obtain full version information of all past updates from the version information server, where the full version information includes sub-version information of multiple updates.

[0078] Step 204, comparing the updated version information with the full version information to generate an image difference file;

[0079] Compare the updated version information with the full version information, identify the differences between the two, and generate an image difference file to facilitate subsequent updates.

[0080] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of comparing the updated version information with the full version information to generate an image difference file may include the following sub-steps:

[0081] Sub-step S2041, determining whether the full version information includes the updated version information;

[0082] In an embodiment of the present invention, the updated version information and the full version can be compared to determine whether the full version information contains the updated version information. If the full version information contains the updated version information, it means that the updated version information has not been substantially updated; if the full version information does not contain the updated version information, it means that the updated version information has an updated part.

[0083] Specifically, the step of determining whether the full version information includes the updated version information may include the following sub-steps:

[0084] Sub-step S20411, comparing the update version information with the sub-version information one by one;

[0085] In actual applications, since the updated version information displays one version, and the full version information has all the sub-version information corresponding to the past updates, the updated version information can be compared with all the sub-version information one by one. The comparison method is determined by those skilled in the art according to actual requirements, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited here.

[0086] Sub-step S20412, when the updated version information is the same as any of the sub-version information, determining that the full version information includes the updated version information;

[0087] When the full version information is the same as any sub-version information, that is, the updated version information already exists, it can be determined that the full version information contains the updated version information.

[0088] Sub-step S20413: When the updated version information is different from all the sub-version information, determining that the full version information does not include the updated version information.

[0089] When the full version information is different from all the sub-version information, it can be determined that the full version information does not include the updated version information.

[0090] Sub-step S2042: When the full version information does not include the updated version information, determining that the difference information between the updated version information and the full version information is the image difference file.

[0091] When the full version information does not include the updated version information, the difference information between the updated version information and the full version information is determined from the updated version information, and the difference information is determined as the mirror difference file.

[0092] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:

[0093] Step S1: When the full version information includes the updated version information, it is determined that the image difference file is empty.

[0094] In addition, in actual applications, there may be a situation where the updated version information is consistent with a sub-version information in the full version information. At this time, there is no actual updated version information, and it can be determined that the image difference file is empty. When the subsequent update is performed, when the empty file is identified, the version update process is directly terminated.

[0095] Step 205, using the image difference file to perform incremental update;

[0096] After obtaining the image difference file, install the image difference file based on the original version and update it in an incremental update manner to improve update efficiency.

[0097] Step 206, after the incremental update is completed, generate version update information;

[0098] After the incremental update is completed, the terminal to be updated determines the version update information with the updated version information, and the version update information is used to indicate that the version information server has installed new version update information, and the updated content can be used to build a full version information library.

[0099] Step 207: Use the version update information to update the full version information.

[0100] The full version information is updated using the version update information, and the full version information is fed back to the version information server. The version information server can store the updated full version information to update the full version information library.

[0101] The embodiment of the present invention receives a version update request sent by the version information server during the joint development process with the updated terminal based on the initial version information; the version update request is generated by the version information server when receiving the updated version information released by the updated terminal; based on the version update request, the updated version information is obtained; the full version information is obtained; the updated version information is compared with the full version information to generate an image difference file; the image difference file is used for incremental update; after the incremental update is completed, the version update information is generated; and the full version information is updated using the version update information. When the updated terminal issues an update identifier, the terminal to be updated promptly obtains the file through the version information server for update, so that the two parties of the development can effectively complete the information interaction, promptly and accurately confirm the version environment baseline of both parties; ensure that the version information of the terminal devices of both parties is consistent during the development process of the joint development mode; improve the accuracy and timeliness of version update synchronization, and improve development efficiency. When the dependent version of one party needs to be updated, the file is uploaded in time to initiate a request, and the version information can be quickly updated during the development process to avoid the occurrence of version errors.

[0102] Reference Figure 3 , shows a flowchart of another embodiment of an image version update method of the present invention, the image version update method is applied to an updated terminal, the updated terminal is connected to the terminal to be updated through a version information server; the updated terminal and the terminal to be updated have the same initial version information; the version information server stores the full version information. The image version update method may specifically include the following steps:

[0103] Step 301, generating updated version information in a joint development process with the terminal to be updated based on the initial version information;

[0104] When a new version is developed during the joint development process between the updated terminal and the terminal to be updated, an updated version information of the content file with the new version is generated. The updated version information includes but is not limited to the basic version information of the firmware and software package and the updated version information of the firmware image file, wherein the basic version information includes the image version number, the MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) value of the version file, the version development compilation timestamp, the version upload timestamp, etc. Those skilled in the art can determine it according to actual needs.

[0105] Step 302: publish the updated version information to the version information server so that the version information server generates a version update request; the terminal to be updated is used to receive the version update request sent by the version information server, obtain the updated version information based on the version update request, obtain the full version information, compare the updated version information with the full version information, generate an image difference file, and use the image difference file for incremental update.

[0106] The updated terminal will publish the generated updated version information to the version information server. The version information server receives the updated version information and stores it for subsequent acquisition by the terminal to be updated. When the version information server receives the updated version information, it will generate a version update request, which is used to indicate that there is updated updated version information for the terminal to be updated, and the terminal to be updated needs to update its own version information to achieve the same version as the updated terminal. When developing, the terminal to be updated will receive the version update request sent by the version information server, obtain the updated version information based on the version update request, obtain the full version information, compare the updated version information with the full version information, generate a mirror difference file, and use the mirror difference file for incremental update; so that the terminal to be updated can actively discover the updated version for version update during development; determine that the updated version information of the terminal to be updated is consistent with the version information of the updated terminal after the update, and improve development efficiency.

[0107] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the terminal to be updated is further used to generate version update information after the incremental update is completed; and use the version update information to update the full version information.

[0108] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the version update request includes a version identifier, and the version identifier is associated with the updated version information; the terminal to be updated is used to determine the updated version information from the version information server based on the version identifier; and obtain the updated version information.

[0109] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the terminal to be updated is used to determine whether the full version information includes the updated version information; when the full version information does not include the updated version information, the difference information between the updated version information and the full version information is determined to be the mirror difference file.

[0110] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the full version information includes multiple sub-version information, and the terminal to be updated is used to compare the update version information with the sub-version information one by one; when the update version information is the same as any of the sub-version information, it is determined that the full version information contains the update version information; when the update version information is different from all the sub-version information, it is determined that the full version information does not contain the update version information.

[0111] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the terminal to be updated is further configured to determine that the image difference file is empty when the full version information includes the updated version information.

[0112] The process of performing version update on the terminal to be updated may refer to the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the joint development process of the terminal to be updated and the updated terminal, the updated terminal can upload the updated version information to the version information server, and actively request the terminal to be updated to update the version. The terminal to be updated iteratively repairs the version, thereby achieving fast and accurate version iteration and improving update efficiency.

[0114] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are described below by using an example:

[0115] Reference Figure 4 , showing a schematic diagram of steps of an example of a mirror version update method of the present invention;

[0116] Two parties (an updated terminal and a terminal to be updated) are jointly developing the same device. Each party is responsible for a certain part of the terminal's firmware version. Each party provides basic version information of the firmware and software package and updated version information such as firmware image files, and uploads them to the database in the version information server. The basic version information includes the image version number, the MD5 value of the version file, the version development compilation timestamp, the version upload timestamp, etc. The information uploaded by both parties updates the full version information in the version information server, and the updated full version information and the previous full version information constitute the full switch version information library.

[0117] When conducting the initial version test, the developer Party A and Party B jointly obtain the full version information from the server and install it in the developed product for debugging. Party A and Party B can both be updated terminals or terminals to be updated. When one party is an updated terminal, the other party is a terminal to be updated.

[0118] When the version iteration is performed in the subsequent development and maintenance process, it includes active update version and passive update version. When either party actively updates the version, the version information and version file are uploaded to the server synchronously, and the firmware update completion mark is pushed. At this time, during the development process, Party B maintains an independent process to monitor the version file and version information in the server in real time. When Party A pushes the firmware update completion mark as in step 3, it will trigger Party B's version management process in real time to inform the development and maintenance personnel that the version has been updated. After that, the process will connect to the target terminal device through the ssh (Secure Shell, Secure Shell Protocol) protocol, and obtain the full firmware version information according to the method of obtaining version information for each firmware version, including each firmware version number, version MD5 SUM (sum) value, and compile timestamp and other information, and compare them one by one with the information in the version information database. If it is only a certain file, there is no version number information, and the version number information is NA (empty), it can be compared through the compile timestamp and the MD5 SUM value of the version file, and finally generate a comparison result. If it is inconsistent, the monitoring module automatically pulls the difference version file (mirror difference file) from the database and performs incremental update according to the corresponding update method.

[0119] When either party finds a problem with the version it depends on during the development process, and needs to update the version information that the other party depends on, it uploads the corresponding version request update identification. The other party's monitoring module receives the request update identification information, prompts Party B's developer to passively update the version, and promptly uploads the passively updated version and its version information to the version database for the other party to monitor, compare and update, to ensure that the version information of both parties is consistent during each development process.
